Photographer & photobook maven. Thinking about & making photographs occupies most of my time. M, film, chocolate & rugby are known to divert me. Occasionally.
@_vVex_@averpee Asteroid City has been criminally underrated imo, I suspect that in time, it will come to be recognised more fully… …but not for a while yet.
Either way, I loved it - found it profoundly moving in parts, and still find myself thinking about it. No one’s taking that from me!
@GrndhoppingGrl@speakoutsister They’re deranged then! Watershed have more loo options, and related privacy flexibility, than any other outside social space that I use in Bristol. I can only conclude that the objection is to trans people existing in Watershed, or indeed in public spaces, at all.
@johnredwood You demonstrated how much you gave the tiniest shit about Wales, when as Welsh Secretary, you failed to learn the Welsh National Anthem. Not even embarrassed about that, miming gobbledegook on camera without shame. Nothing has changed. You still don’t give a shit. Sefyllwch!
@RasberryRazz I completely agree. Joan Crawford is stellar in it of course, but it also throws the whole ‘american west’ cinematic hagiography right up in the air. Sterling Hayden was a genius casting decision to upend the all american solitary cowboy trope, and those colours…ermergerd!
If portraiture is your way of photographing people + community then I can't recommend this book enough.
Bey is considered to be the natural heir of such renowned photographers as Roy DeCarava, Walker Evans, Gordon Parks, + James Van Der Zee.
It shows in his approach + work.
@PippaCrerar@PaulLewis@Direthoughts Starmer knew and approved it anyway. At best he has terrible judgement, at the worst he did it for reasons which were dodgy. Either way, he can’t be trusted to make the correct decision in the face of expert advice and against the interests of the country. He has to go.
@Channel4News Israel is razing Southern Lebanon to the ground as these people speak. Gazans living in flooded tents with 70,000 (and counting) dead bodies under the rubble of destroyed hospitals, schools and houses. Flattened. C4News’ participation in this level of gaslighting is disgraceful!
@zaaaarbi Filmtwt is its own ecosystem, mostly driven by bad faith engagement. At its absolute worst in the 12 weeks from New Year & the week after Oscars. Take it with a pinch of salt at this time especially, fwiw I agree with you
…you are right they were all great, and they did…. 😊
@SquidgeRugby ah squidge don’t, I can barely look as it is - we‘ve been collectively traumatised over the last 2.5 years, it’ll take that much again before I can take my hands from the front of my face during a Wales game! (and I love Italy too!) #itsthehopethatkills
