The dependency of film history on economics can be summed up by the axiom: there is no film history, only the history of film distribution.

There’s a *very* narrow use case for these, but it should be illegal to sell them without disclosure. Some kind of warning label like the ones printed on cigarette packages.

The greatest harbinger of end times is not plague or war, but the sudden enormous proliferation of Xerox-quality POD editions (unmarked! no warning!) from houses like Penguin.

This has been fun, but I am now humbly requesting that everyone keep their powder dry, re: Eric Rohmer, until my translation of his early novel comes out in July

Obviously The Devils is getting a lot of the attention, but this is also fantastic news - a 4K restoration of Ouédraogo’s Tilaï screening at Cannes this year

X's automatic translation feature really messed up this post from the UK embassy. The English translation converted the names of every politician involved into different people. •Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper translated into "David Lammy" •Foreign Minister Motegi translated into "Takeshi Iwaya" •Defense Minister Koizumi translated into "Gen Nakatani" •Minister of State for Economic Security Onoda translated into "Ryosei Akazawa" Instead of actually translating the names into English, it replaced them with the names of people who previously held the same cabinet posts.

everyone loves to quote marx on how milton spun out his poetry like a silkworm; no one quotes montaigne on how we’re all silkworms who suffocate ourselves with our useless thoughts
