Obrigado, Sam Neill, por olhar pra uma paisagem vazia com tanta emoção que me fez acreditar, naquela sala escura de cinema em 1993, que dinossauros eram reais

«The close-up, correctly illuminated, directed and acted of an actor is and remains the height of cinematography. There is nothing better. That incredibly strange and mysterious contact you can suddenly experience with another soul through an actor’s gaze»

I genuinely think Sonam Wangchuk is stupid. Who in their right mind builds schools in the Himalayas, invents artificial glaciers so farmers don’t die of thirst, wins international awards, inspires a movie that made crores, and then spends their life going on hunger strikes for a country that detains them under terrorism laws for 170 days as a thank you. Genuinely stupid behavior. Meanwhile our judicial system is busy giving bail to people who probably shouldn’t have it, detaining people who definitely shouldn’t be detained, and a High Court judge recently said something about removing clothes forcefully and having fun with a wife that I genuinely cannot repeat without my brain short circuiting. This is the country where Sonam Wangchuk is the problem. Where students get their exam papers leaked and nobody resigns. Where a 57 year old man starving himself for 17 days is less newsworthy than a Bollywood actor’s airport look. This country, Indian judiciary and government is seriously broken. And right now something is very, very broken.
Happy 15th August in advance. The flags are already being ironed.

Bong Joon-ho designed the final shot of Memories of Murder (2003) to stare directly into the eyes of the real killer, believing he might one day watch it.

In 2019, DNA identified Lee Chun-jae as the culprit, and he later admitted he had seen the film.

Marriage, in our family conversations, isn’t spoken about as companionship or compatibility. It is a deadline, sometimes even a punishment.

Trivia: the first book in the Penguin Classics series was EV Rieu’s translation of Homer’s Odyssey (1946). Earlier, Rieu set up OUP’s first overseas office on Bombay’s Hornby Road. His son, who later handled modern revisions of his father’s translations, was born in the city.

before AI-slop we need to worry what reel-slop is doing to Indians. Especially retirees with ample time, who're consuming vitriolic drivel, inane Islamophobic propaganda, anti-science and anti-reason solutions all day. we're reckoning with a staggering misinformation industry.

The wildest part about POVERTY is how much time it steals. Waiting for buses. Calling assistance offices. Comparing grocery prices. Fighting insurance. Sitting at laundromats. Being poor is a second job nobody pays you for.

[Wes Anderson Universe @WesAndersonfc]

In 2023 Wes Anderson made four short films most people still haven't seen. They might be his purest work. The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, The Swan, The Rat Catcher, Poison. Four Roald Dahl stories, told almost word for word, with actors speaking straight to camera like storybook narrators. No trick, no filler. Just Anderson stripped down to what he's always been about: the joy of telling a story, and the sadness hiding underneath it.Benedict Cumberbatch, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Kingsley, all playing narrators as much as characters. The sets fold and shift like pages turning. It shouldn't be this moving. It is.If you love Wes Anderson, these four are essential.
