something also unique about the horror film community is we will watch literally anything. in fact if your movie is bad enough there is a small sect of us that will like it even more
Alejandro G. Iñárritu on why “Amores Perros" (2000) was an important movie in Mexican history:
"Even when we were a very small independent film in a very small section that is not even official, it became the film that everybody wanted to see."
When they made “Amores Perros" Iñárritu said, the Mexican film industry was producing only five to seven local films a year from the same few directors, with a nationalistic flavor, subsidized by the government. Maybe one would wind up in theaters.
“Every director that I knew at that time, they [had] just made one film. And they were already 50 years old. A film was considered a one-time opportunity, and you better make sure that you put all you have to say there."
'"Amores Perros' had an incredible, solid, complex script. Mexico City is a complex city with incredible ancient culture with visual traditions. It has the third most museums in the world. And we were middle-class, educated. So we can see and observe: low, high, wherever. We were having access to many things.
We were all Chilango, so we knew exactly how that city smells and feels. There was a new government coming, that threw out the party dictatorship of 70 years. So there was hope and a feeling that we needed to shake who we were, how we talk about ourselves, how we see ourselves. This film came into the right moment."

This is "Lost In The Masquerade," an unreleased Method Man & Lauryn Hill collab, produced by Wu-Tang affiliate 4th Disciple.
The "Star Wars” sampling track initially appeared on J-Love’s legendary bootleg Method Man mixtape series, but never saw an official release.
A high quality version has never surfaced.
Probably not gonna be celebrated in the same circles of Illmatic, but Stepfather by People Under The Stairs was released 20 years ago this past week and if you haven't heard this album (or any album of theirs), give your ears a treat. It's a classic, no doubt.

France made this wastefulness illegal cause it’s cruel and only causes more waste issues. Any food market or restaurant over 400 square meters has to donate all their good unsold food to charities and are fined if they do anything like this. That law should be applied everywhere
