Saw a movie the other day. Thought it was pretty good
After a lengthy gap between posts, I returned to my substack to honor the life and legacy of Peter Watkins, one of the greatest filmmakers ever. It's a long biography of the man that argues his career represents an attempt to redefine our notions of auteurism.

recently saw Phantom of the Paradise for the first time. Really incredible movie. The theater I saw it in mixed it so loud that my ears were ringing during the climax, which felt perfect.

rewatching the texas chainsaw massacre. somehow it gets better and better every time. struck by the really sad moment of Franklin sitting and frowning as he hears his friends goofing off in the house. he just has the fucking worst day of all time.

Don’t really have a lot going on today. Saw the mastermind on Monday and really enjoyed it. Check that one out if you’re a fan of crime comedies that really go hard on realism. There’s a ten minute scene of a character fumbling around with a ladder that’s so funny.

I liked, but didn't love One Battle After Another. To sort out my feelings, I took to the substack and wrote a slightly skeptical piece about the film, its style, its politics surrounding race, and how it also contains my fave sequence of the year:

This week on the substack, I went a little crazy writing about Godard's King Lear, his optimistic attitude about the potential of art, its relationship to real world injustice, Godard's opinion on Woody Allen, and the stakes of embarking on a creative project. open.substack.com/pub/closeupl...

This week on the Substack, I wrote about one of my favorite book series, Mark Z Danielewski’s The Familiar. This series is so strange that it defies most of my casual/critical instincts as a reader; at its best, it’s like if Mulholland Drive was a book series:

Howdy gang, just dropping back in to say that I wrote another article on the substack. This time I wrote about Ari Aster's latest film Eddington, a movie that I think captures the spirit of 2025 more than the spirit of 2020. open.substack.com/pub/closeupl...

Been going through the films of Peter Watkins lately. What a filmmaker. Something I like about him is that he’s a filmmaker with left wing politics you can actually sort into a political tendency other than liberalism. Most of the time you kind of have to vaguely intuit a filmmaker’s politics

Howdy folks, it’s been a while. Just dropping in to say that I started a Substack! It’s totally free, and the first post is about the game design of Death Stranding 2! There are no story spoilers at all, if you’re worried about that. You can read it here: open.substack.com/pub/closeupl...

Going to be interviewed for a guy’s podcast he’s doing for a final project. It’s about the planet of the apes movies. Should be simple

Every once in a while I poke my head back in here like an ex-con thinking about a life on the outside. Maybe one of these days I’ll actually commit.
