hommedelamachine asked: I loved what you wrote about Upstream Color, I just saw it last night, I didn't even think about the violence against women topic, which is really rare for me because I am always looking out for things like that. Great stuff!

Upstream Color
You can force your story’s shape, but the color will always bloom upstream.

At the beginning of a letter my mom wrote me this afternoon:
Hi Matt,
Yes I heard on the way home today about roger ebert. I had just heard that he was not doing well, but didn’t expect this type of news so quickly. Your dream was to have a film rated by him, mine was to have you become a critic as well known as he.

Julie Dash: These Amazing Shadows →
Oh, hey! If you’re in Metro-Detroit, check this out! Julie Dash is showing a film about Film Preservation and Archiving. I actually don’t know much about it, but I’m assuming if Julie Dash is involved, it’s going to be worthwhile.
Sharing of the Domestic Burden

If you appreciate my taste in film and what I post,...

Amour
My Paternal Grandfather was not a nice man. I learned this as I grew older, the majority of the information coming to me as my grandfather passed away.

I later discovered this was not out of the kindness of his heart, but the hatred of the smells my father’s cooking produced. When my parent’s first wed and...
