We stan a queen (of wasting patriarchal studio $$). I can’t tell if GWTW estimates take into account the three strip Technicolor process

Sure sounds like a lot! I saw somewhere claim that Selznick & co shot 81 hours of footage for Gone With the Wind, which would work out to almost a million feet (?) of Technicolor reels

Diablo was solid

No one on that stage believed him for a second. I like Conan but it's impossible not to look like the biggest square in the universe next to Abel Ferrara. I met Abel and also felt like this

A few years after it came out, when I was 13-14 and saw the Head Like A Hole video on Alternative Nation or 120 Minutes and became obsessed. PHM has never been my favorite NIN album but it's always been my favorite to sing along to or pull from at karaoke

Great movie though. I feel like Garrel's movies get released or restored stateside in fits & starts. Someday I'll watch them all in a row and actually get a full picture of one of the greatest living French directors

If you haven't already read it, Orwell's Homage to Catalonia is terrific

I love this song (and first heard it, last year, through your blog)

I didn’t know him personally but his writing of late felt like the only honest thing on the internet. What a loss.
