"Only when you grow old do you see the rarity of beauty, and what a wonder it really is when flowers bloom between factories and cannons, and poetry still lives between newspapers and stock-market reports."
--Hermann Hesse
The folks not knowing this is Robert Redford just reinforces my thesis that Gen-X may be the last generation to have a working knowledge of pop culture that came before them.
The passing of Paul Newman (2008), Sean Connery (2020), Sidney Poitier (2022), and now Robert Redford (2025) signals the slow disappearance of a certain type of 20th century figure: men who embodied classic style, reflecting their taste, rather than a professional stylist.
@TattooYrSoul@annatarshadow@DEADLINE She's completely right. She didn't say anything wrong. Dune is a trilogy not a franchise. And Wonks is a remake not a franchise. Pretty clear Pitt is referring to the likes of Marvel/DC, since he himself was in the Ocean's movies..
@annatarshadow I always trust your judgement explicitly, and look forward to your lists and comments. These are great, and form a beautiful collection! ❤️💘
This may sound crazy but I hate how loud and over-stimulating today’s world is, how we’re inundated with ads, music, and short-form videos that seem designed to keep you from ever thinking or knowing a moment’s boredom. We’ve got infinite entertainment and it’s killing us.
