Absolutely wonderful article: Wes Anderson's Impossible Dreams.

And a true example of the utter irreplaceable value of film criticism. Gorgeous read over at Criterion by Bilge Ebiri on Anderson's film catalog from the first 25 years of his career. www.criterion.com/current/post...
A wide shot of a movie set with a miniaturized practical set from THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU in the background. In the foreground, slightly off centred Wed Anderson sits behind a camera on a crane lift. He's slightly turned and looking over his shoulder, offset and out of the photo. He's dressed in muted browns with a light coloured scarf wrapped around his neck.

Rewatching GROSSE POINT BLANK for the first time in an age and damn, it's as good - maybe better - than I remember. And obviously, this soundtrack is unreal.

What's this niggling something (read: nearly debilitating anxiety) that's been plaguing me all day? Oh yes, right -- the Sunday Scaries. Wonderful.

Photos of red balloon letters, tethered with string, anchored out of the frame, against a blue background. The balloon letters are "F", "*", "C", and "K" spelling out Fuck -- but politely without the U

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you joy and happiness.

This is one of my favourites from Varda
screen grab of French New Wave director Agnes Varda, facing the camera with a crowd looking the other way in the background, captioning her saying "I tired to be a joyful feminist, but I was very angry."

May the coming year bring you all good things, Julie -- and what a joy to take the time to celebrate with your people. Truly the best of life to spend such time with loved ones. Happy birthday.

I can't recall who here shared or reposted about Saskia Daniel Ceramics but thanks. I saw it, loved it, and now I have a pretty new mug on it's way to me. So glad I asked if she'd ship to Canada. Yay! www.saskiadanielceramics.com

When @hollyhoye.bsky.social posted this the other day, I really felt it. Solidarity, Jen -- it's tough sledding out there right now.

Really thankful that my FILM 201 course back in uni helped me understand the realities of the world.

It's more monster movie than horror but GRABBERS (2012) is fun
Movie poster for the 2012 film Grabbers -- a tentacled sea monster is eating a house on a cliff with at roiling ocean in the background The title of the film 'grabbers' and the tag 'they are coming' is across the top of the poster.

Beautiful. "A visual metaphor for imperfection and the possibilities of repair, the porcelain sculptures created by Ohio-based artist Glen Taylor (previously) are steeped in contrast"

It makes me laugh. Every time. Being the heathen that I am.

Saw CONCLAVE (2024) this weekend and really enjoyed it. The score elevated everything and the performances are on point right across the board. Dishy, bitchy political machinations wrapped up in the trappings of a very specific and compelling setting. Fun watch.
Still from the film CONCLAVE (2024); Cardinal Lawrence (played by Ralph Fiennes) on the left and Cardinal Bellini (played by Stanley Tucci) on the right, both wearing red zucchetto (beanies-style caps) and dark jackets are centred in the scene. Still l from the film CONCLAVE (2024) Cardinal Lawrence (played by Ralph Fiennes) in profile facing left, framed by a window, wearing a red zucchetto (beanies-style cap) and red robes. Still from the film CONCLAVE (2024); Cardinal Benitez (played by Carlos Diehz) with dark hair centred in the photo wearing red zucchetto (beanies-style caps) and red robes in a medium shot.

You know, I'm pretty please with how it turned out. And it was a lovely way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday morning.

For yyc locals, you just cant go wrong with a Plant workshop.

I'm pretty pleased with how it came out! It's all fresh greenery so it will dry out pretty quickly tho. It'll be lovely for the season and it was a very nice way to spend a morning.

Let the 24 days of tiny jam jars commence! #Advent2024 #TinyJams

Yah, I remain a big fan of the Bonne Mamán jam Advent calendar. Good on toast; amazing with a wee personalized charcuterie board. All teed up for top notch noshing throughout December.
