It’s fine but he should have cast a better rapper idc. Young Thug, or Future idk.

@_Sheehogue_ Boar scene The decor in Mitchum's "room" Mitchum's dogs Beautifully American and beautifully Southern. Not much else like it.

New fave Minnelli I think

@sharkeyflor Terrence Davies, Marlon Riggs, George Armitage, Julie Dash, James L Brooks directorial career (his writing career much more prolific), Bette Gordon, Lizzie Borden, Kathleen Collins, Eustache, Solntseva, Ida Lupino Interesting prompt!

anyone got ideas for this? some are directors i am wholly familiar with, some i am interested in. the parameters are loose depending on the context in which they worked (ex: maya deren is on the list), so if you have ideas lmk. i plan on watching them all and sharing thoughts. ⬇️

BALLOONS ON MY PAGE

Hi. Been a bit since I posted this GFM and I’m beginning to run low between my insurance and medications and the rising price of groceries—I’ve barely eaten this week. $1000 to my goal would solve a lot of my issues and help me stress less. Please help! gofund.me/04bbed74d
