I'm 30

Last day of 33 for me

Nobuhiko Ôbayashi explains how he was inspired by his daughter's ideas for making 'House' (1977): "My daughter who at the time was only 11, she loved films. She actually had never seen any Japanese film at the time yet. When I start making a new film, I always ask suggestions from young people because young people have a great future before them. So I asked my 11-year-old daughter’s suggestion. What if I make a commercial film for Toho cinema society, what kind of film should I make in your opinion, I asked her. At the time in the US, a new cinema director, Steven Spielberg, was shooting the film, 'Jaws' (1975). At that time, together with the shark film, there were other films where, for example, there were rats attacking people, there’s different animals attacking people, those were the kind of films that were being screened all over the world. I believed at that time, Toho Production expected to see films where, for example, cute bunnies would eat human beings. So that day, my daughter Chigumi, she was combing her hair looking in the mirror and then she said, what if my image would come out of the mirror to eat me which is a horror. And I thought it was an excellent idea, it is me eating myself. Because war is dark, is eating oneself so I thought I could get to know the image in the mirror, an image that would bring to peace and not to war again. So reflecting in the mirror what is that I can do in my life, and this reflection, this thought, can lead us on the way to peace. So I made a question to my daughter and she said, when she used to exercise at the piano, she thinks that sometimes the piano is actually about to eat her hands when she is playing badly. So, all the seven episodes were actually invented by my daughter, suggested at least by her. I added also my own ideas by inserting a poor woman who had lost her beloved in the war. So 'House' is our cooperation between the generation who has experienced the war and the generation who had never experienced the war." (Nobuhiko Ôbayashi's interview with Andrew Daley, Easternkicks, 2017)

My partner mentioned that they were Buddhist culturally to one of the Christian missionaries on our college campus and the guy said "Jesus rose from the dead. Do you know who never rose from the dead? Buddha." and they replied "Yeah dude that was kinda the whole point" LMAO

The contrast between the music and the Pee Wee Herman playing on the TV is sublime. I love this bar.

At the full chamber poetry event. (Spoken poetry + improvised musical accompaniment) First poet had a focus on sort of call to action social commentary. Second poet opened his set with a piece called My Italian Lover that used NY pizza as a pussy eating metaphor.

@facetedcarapace I wish I liked Lana more

"geese are industry plants" so was lana del rey and look at what all she has done for sad gays and girls

fascinated by all the replies from people who appear to be convinced microplastics are ubiquitous because of some sort of chemtrail type conspiracy rather than manufacturers of petroleum-based products correctly assessing they would face no consequences for poisoning the world

@SiddhantAdlakha @Criterion Easily my favorite film of last year

Thrilled to have written the accompanying essay for @Criterion's release of "Resurrection," Bi Gan’s enrapturing treatise on cinema, modern Chinese history, and the collective human experience. Out on Blu-ray and DVD April 21st criterion.com/films/35491-re…

idk, i just find it a bit absurd that the man who set fire to a warehouse full of toilet paper is facing more immediate consequences than literally any of the men in the epstein files.
