What can we do? We must live.

I could do my job. But then there are the emails. And THEN there are the emails from the kids’ schools.

You guys.

Hot tip. 📚

Some Recife architecture for your eyes.

At that stage of the family trip when everyone is desperate to get home and we are spending today in separate rooms avoiding each other after a few meltdowns because one wrong look will set the other off and omg #blessed

Actors are so beautiful. When you witness an actor stitch together text-thought-heart-voice and their eyes light up and everything comes out as one single wave...it’s so beautiful.

OH also Drive My Car. 🚘

All so good. Also: Past Lives and Train Dreams rocked me.

Tender is the sticky hot humid night. #recife

Always always always always. Art. always. #bergman

Chris Ryan on ‘The Pitt,’ Michael Mann, and CR Month on ‘The Rewatchables’ | Talk Easy YouTube video by Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso

“I guess I am becoming a bit more like a Michael Mann character.”

Had a very silly, sprawling conversation with Chris Ryan of The Ringer.

The whole 10-slides thread on Instagram by tv_hed_ped is an absolute masterpiece review. #miamiVice

Are We Okay to Go?: Contact (1997) and the Purpose of a Pause This is the moment of a woman alone, shuddering with the g-force and fear; repeating into a static void, a fierce whisper to convince them: “I’m okay to go. I’m okay to go.”

"This is the moment of a woman alone, shuddering with the g-force and fear; repeating into the static void a fierce whisper to convince them: “I’m okay to go. I’m okay to go.”

An absolutely amazing film & a staggeringly beautiful score. The perfect sound to accompany a very complex and persistent cinematic mood piece. Still astonishes me that we are alive at the same time as TERRENCE MALICK and yet we cannot, nor do we know how to, fully appreciate his full-blown genius.

Photo of three men standing on top of rocky terrain. One is wearing a blue zip-up jacket with a blue chambray shirt and tan chinos. One is wearing a green-black checkered jacket with red chamois shirt, white pants, and cowboy hat. The other is wearing a blue parka with with blue jeans.

Two photos. In the first, three men are wearing bomber jackets with blue or white jeans. In the second image, one man is wearing an off white (possibly chamois?) shirt with blue jeans. Another is wearing a blue denim trucker with blue jeans. A third is wearing a blue quilted parka.

Two photos of groups of men. They are wearing Nordic sweaters, olive bomber jackets, flight suits, black-green checkered jackets, cowboy hats, beanies, and jeans.

Two photos. In one, there's a man wearing a brown tweed with a checked shirt. In the other photo, men are wearing bomber jackets and high-waisted cotton pants.

The Artemis II mission reminds me of these 1960s photos of NASA astronauts training in Iceland because they felt the terrain would be similar to what they'd encounter on the moon. The outfits are so great, even some 60 years later.

Hahaha
