By the way, here's the Tarkovsky explaining why he holds his shots as long as he does. You don't necessarily have to agree with it, but it is his filmmaking philosophy. If you remove it, it is not a Tarkovsky film in any meaningful sense.

Here's the thing. The stillness of Tarkovsky's images is essential to his filmmaking. He wrote about the importance of stillness and time in his movies. He described filmmaking as "sculpting in time." These movements are antithetical to the entire point of a Tarkovsky film.

This is unreal. Someone just reimagined Tarkovsky using AI-driven camera motion. What if the camera moved — but still felt like it belonged? Let me show you what that looks like:

The globalization of news has made the whole world’s problems our problem, fostering a sense of powerlessness that’s led many to redefine morality from “doing good” to merely “feeling bad”. C. S. Lewis noted this in his 1946 letter to Bede Griffiths:

December 4 is International Day of Banks. Both James Joyce and TS Eliot worked for banks and Eliot continued to do so even after The Waste Land was published. Ezra Pound said "it is a crime against literature to let him waste eight hours vitality per diem in that bank."

The new The Cure album sounds like tracks that have always been in the Robert Smith ether and he just finally decided to pull them down and record them.

This is everything. In 2006, students from Xavier High School in NYC sent Kurt Vonnegut five letters asking the writer to visit their class. What he wrote back is one of the best things ever:

If you see this, and if you agree that no child should be a victim of violence, I humbly ask you to share this, to help others see.

Gerald Murnane’s compact and highly finished style distinguishes him from other writers—Proust, W. G. Sebald, Rachel Cusk—who render the act of contemplation. nyer.cm/kBdzngi
