  • The battle lines, if people are convinced that there really is a ‘fight’ going on, will be between individual houses and apartments. I know that there are those among my neighbors who tracked what political signs were where… and they have no problem making their position known. We are too ‘integrated’ as a society to keep even a semblance of separation between conservatives, liberals, progressives, fascists, ‘antifascists,’ democrats, republicans…

    and we have a lot more trigger happy yokels armed to the teeth (in civilian terms). It’s going to suck. We can all hold out hope for the midterms, but fuck…








  • Full time critics must be weird to talk with for any length of time. I know my own work bleeds into my perceptions and interests, and can’t help but think that critics have their judging hats on for routine, everyday affairs. Imagine your partner sitting in the passenger seat, idly commenting on the lighting of a city park as you drive past (I don’t have to imagine, lol, because my partner does amateur film work as a side gig and he loves to talk about his cameras).


  • I believe there’s a copypasta/good comment floating around out there from the reddit days that details everything that has been referenced about the godfather films, and so, if you watch many movies that are popular or considered good, you’ve already seen almost everything that stands out in the godfather films. Throw in the great many improvements in cameras, acting methods/filming techniques, and the ‘drift’ that means one generation prefers certain tropes/themes/scenes/actions over others, and of course an older film is going to be less entertaining for us.
