Wonder how that scene in magnolia was done

Great recommendations on the Korean pictures, my imac s fan is working overtime stealing all that shit off of pirate bay right now, on the subject of hurting animals in films I have bad news about all the old westerns ( upto and including the Clint Eastwood films) I heard quentin tarantino discussing this on a podcast years ago, those scenes (many) when you would see a horse fall at speed because they were "shot" or whatever, they would purposely hobble those stunt horses and when it was in the camera and the director was happy they would just shoot them as they were so damaged, horrible but true.

Escape from Pretoria.

Amazing true story. At the end I was getting worried for them.

Deerskin is wicked, loved it. Gonna give beanpole a go, cheers

Don't think I know anyone else that saw Western, was one of my favourite's from that year. I think I have Valeska Grisebach's debut feature (Longing, 2006) that I watched last year on an external HD. I think I struggled to find it so if you want to watch it then let me know.

I'll have to check out Beanpole, saw a couple of things about it.


I've been slacking the last couple weeks but my highlights:

- Rewatched First Cow for a bit of writing I've got coming out friday. One of my favourite films from last year. It's on at the Glasgow Film Festival this week, might've sold out though. Such an excellent film.

- Scorsese's early short The Big Shave. Great, all 5 minutes of it and right on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8wdkiZORlA

- An early Éric Rohmer short called The Bakery Girl of Monceau

- Rewatched Isle of Dogs. There's an awful lot of love in every frame of it, it's such a detailed film. Hard not to love.

Also I finished I May Destroy You today. I know I'm quite late to the party, and technically it's TV, but it's a must watch really. I don't think anything has presented the complexities of consent on screen in such an intelligent way before. Also, as well as being incisive and important etc etc it is really charming and funny and easy to connect with. Because it deals with such important, difficult issues you might not read about that part of it, they kind of demand the headlines. But it's also fun and likable - something I didn't really expect - and without that side of it, it could be wrongly accused of being sanctimonious.

Annoyed I'm gonna have to wait for however long to see that.

If any fans of Portrait haven't seen basically everything else Sciamma has directed or written then it's all worth going back to. Tomboy is just perfect, and My Life as a Courgette is too.
