How did the French theorists who focused so strongly on the semiology and spectator identification of cinema, its relation to the real world outside the frame, deal with animation where none of that exists?

You go to a different country and you bring back some local culinary specialty that becomes your new personality. I just went to Costa Rica and found out about this stuff called coffee. I drink it all the time now!

Wild Horse Nine: you definitely don’t need to see Wild Horses 1-8, but you should probably be well versed in Oliver Stone’s filmography.

Okay, so The Last Temptation of Christ is a truly remarkable movie. Deeply religious and moving. The Criterion Collection essay sucks. It hardly talks about the movie at all, spending most of its time discussing the rotten and bad people who opposed the movie. Boo.

today, November 7, 2026, the shooting of President William McKinley is the exact halfway point of America's history as an independent nation. it happened 45,718 days ago, and 45,718 days after the Declaration of Independence was signed
Replying to @jfkplus60
FLASH: President McKinley has been shot! The man's handkerchief concealed a revolver, which he fired twice into the President's torso. McKinley turns pale, swoons, and is caught by his personal secretary, George Cortelyou.

Hey little Debbie what’s it like in Collegedale Tennessee, I’m a thousand miles away but your Swiss rolls just look so tasty yes they do. Twinkies can’t shine as bright as you. I swear it’s true.

The Wendy’s on South First street in my home town once had a sign up that said “THIS IS A BURGER TOWN PRETTY BOY”

This one commercial said, “Forget everything you know about slipcovers.” So I did, and it was a load off of my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell slipcovers, but I didn’t know what the fuck they were!

Godzilla Minus Zero was fun because it's the second movie I've seen this year set in the 1940s with a preternaturally gifted meteorologist as the hero.
