    Is love dead or just not afforded to entitled assholes?  I don’t like it when they’re mean to the sympathetic goon characters, and is that not a form of love?  Speaking of goons, if you listen closely you can hear mention of 2024 Isles/Rags Stadium Series on the news in the penultimate scene.

    Hell yeah I love jazz and hate the CIA. I usually don’t rate documentaries but I will in this case because they put a lot of work into the artistry of it. Perhaps too much, actually, to the point that it kinda obfuscates the information being conveyed which is easily its greatest weakness alongside its failure to condemn capitalism outright. Many such cases.

    Finally a film to restore due reverence to both brutalist architecture and the great commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The three hours I give to Tarkovsky are a pittance compared to what Tarkovsky gives to me. Absolute beauty.
