As soon as I read the jacket synopsis, I knew this would be a work of fiction ripe for a “I am Legend” or “The Road” styled film adaption. Cormac McCarthy has sadly been long passed away, so Peter Heller might be the guy now.

More fantastic screengrabs because it's just so easy when every second is a painting.

A specific type of color correcting was used in the film development process, which I cannot begin to pretend I understand the science of, but the range of moods sustains interest throughout its 2.5 hour runtime.

The film grain, overall photographic-quality, and the color is superbly pleasing to the eye.

One of the reasons this movie is timeless is because the landscapes merely rely on the beauty of the natural world, rather than painting in skies with CGI. Likely something that was really only possible fifty years ago, when weather was more dependable.

funny and well written. also with a 2009 setting, so that's always a plus.

Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours.

This book is turning out to be this wonderful painful joy to read. I described it to someone, vaguely in one sentence as a massacre driven by an anti-democratic period of Korean history, and they simply replied “how human…,” without knowing its title.

A surreal, topsy-turvy hypothetical 1980’s, with the foresight of being written in 2019. The protagonist is youthfully brash and arrogant, cheers for fascism, waxes poetic of the intersection of anthropology and technology, and adopts a strange fixation with a newly purchased android.

nonfiction pickup of the month: “age of the deer.” the writing hits like a post-rock electric guitar riff informed by a gorgeous historical prose reminiscent of a terrence malick film. folky, elaborate, a touch autobiographical, anthropological; and shifting through time at will.

In the early stages of developing a new piece of experimental fiction written in a Shakespearean prose. Approaching the dialogue of its various scenes as a collection of loosely connected poems. It stars the big round guy from Pokemon Red and he’s a raging alcoholic who won’t let go of the past.

a weirdly apocalyptic sci-fi future set in the 2100s, looking back on the 2010s, but reads like it was written in the 19th century. at this rate, this is likely to be my favorite piece of fiction of the past few years across all mediums..

I highly admire fiction where the artist does a lot with minimalist approaches. The very sparing usage of watercolors, in mostly stark blues on empty white paper, perfectly capture what some of the more bleak Iowa winters are like here, and they are contrasted with oranges of familial warmth.

Nomadland is reading that is brutally devastating and far from escapism. The book has a passage that compares this post-financial crisis mobile home trend to the film “Grapes of Wrath” but less hopeful. Makes me wonder how Zhao’s film will be looked upon in 50-100 years.

I was unaware that some of the actors in Chloe Zhao’s Nomadland are in fact real human beings with their stories depicted in this nonfiction book by Jessica Bruder. Immortalizing these types of underserved people is one of the highest forms of beauty in creative arts.

love this era of star wars expanded universe slop. so many characters seen for mere seconds in the prequel trilogy have full-on serialized adventures.
