New Volker Ullrich & NO ONE TOLD ME? Who are you people? Are we even friends? Extremely disappointed in all humans & algorithms alike.

This is an INSTAPURCHASE!

Beautiful night with the NY Phil, featuring Joshua Bell playing Thomas de Hartmann’s Violin Concerto, composed for Ukraine in 1943 during the Nazi occupation. Dalia Stasevska conducted beautifully, including a new piece by composer Bohdana Frolyak & Benjamin Britten’s Sinfonia da Requiem. 👏

OUT TODAY:

Hüsker Dü Live in 1985, at the absolute peak of their power. 40 years ago I was 14. Now? In awe. I can’t believe this exists. Thank you to @numerogroup.bsky.social for delivering the live album of my dreams from one of the most important bands of my life.💥

Special shout out to Krasznahorkai's co-written screenplay of Tarr's film THE TURIN HORSE, an incredible film that stays with me always.

Congrats to László Krasznahorkai for winning the 2025 Nobel Prize in Literature! Film folks will know his works as having been adapted by Béla Tarr (most notably SATANTANGO)... a great writer, much deserved!

About to experience VistaVision for the first time at this ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER screening with my boys*… excited for a unique family cinematic experience!

*One of them vetoed any photos. 👎
