German philosopher Walter Benjamin, whose work went largely unrecognized in his own time, who took his own life with an overdose of morphine after learning (perhaps erroneously) that the Spanish authorities were planning to deport him to France and repatriate him to Nazi hands.

Cinema is actually inherently left wing in the sense that it is an art form, and good art will always align itself with inquiry and exploration rather than a reproduction of existing values. But more importantly: Free Palestine.

the thing lynch does better than anyone else in the history of cinema is play with gradients of reality, starting from an understanding that all film (like life itself) can be understood as dream, and so all film (like life itself) can feel real + unreal. So his movies are (1/4)

Like his debut ALIEN 3, David Fincher’s sophomore feature SE7EN is a sci-fi film in that it imagines a world where cops are equipped with a passing knowledge of like Chaucer, Milton, and Dante’s Divine Comedy

First look at Blumhouse’s ‘They/Them.’ It is described as a slasher horror set at an LGBTQIA+ conversion camp. As the camp’s methods become more unsettling, the campers must protect themselves. When a mysterious killer starts claiming victims, things get even more dangerous.

Succession finale is lingering for me. The full scope of why the ending felt so upsetting took a bit to sink in: how Shiv ignored her brother’s (probably honest) warning that he’d die if he didn’t get CEO not out of logic or love or a desire to end a cycle, but just cuz he sucks.
