Cue up Louis Armstrong's "St. James Infirmary."
Kiarostami literally cast Ershadi in the middle of traffic to star in Taste of Cherry, and it's one of the great performances in cinema history. very sad news.

Looks like we’re building up to an all-timer of a lineup for Oscar gays whose truer sexuality is Best Supporting Actress.

Define our musical taste in 8 artists:

Stevie Wonder
Erykah Badu
Björk
Laurie Anderson
Kerri Chandler
Louis Cole
Ken Nordine
Prince

I excluded Prokofiev and Ravel for ... well, no good reason really. Stuck with individual artists also; sorry, EW&F, KING and Masters at Work.
Define your musical taste in 8 artists.

Steve Reich
Gang of Four
Little Feat
Bill Evans
Tool
Aretha Franklin
Wye Oak
Abul Mogard

I thought about this for as long as it took to type, with maybe a slight pause before Wye Oak because pop-adjacent woman singer/songwriter is a big category of my taste.
Define your musical taste in 8 artists

The New Pornographers
The Beatles
Charles Mingus
Nina Simone
Blondie
They Might Be Giants
Stereolab
LCD Soundsystem

Feels pretty basic, also pretty true

Trying to do this without naming any of the perennial top-10 placers on varied all-time horror lists…

CREEPSHOW
OUTER SPACE
THE CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE
PULSE
Quote this with the first four Horror movies that come to your mind that are 10/10s for you. No cheating. Just the first four that pop into your head.

I'll go first:
-Silence of the Lambs
-I Saw the Devil
-Coherence
-Jaws

Not an original answer, but New Hollywood-era horror has certainly supplanted the contemporarily-acknowledged masterpieces of New Hollywood in overall esteem and canonical centrality. As for those who've fallen off, pretty much all of the '90s music video directors that aren't Glazer?
throwing this prompt from Twitter in here. what examples you got?
