a few months ago, i talked to Tony Kushner for an hour and a half about Munich gq.com/story/tony-kushner-wa…

Even Tony Kushner Warned Steven Spielberg About Making ‘Munich’

Kushner—who cowrote the screenplay for Spielberg’s controversial, eerily prescient film about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—recalls telling the director, “You do understand that we’re going to get...

you can see everything is, in part, about how spotting a work doesn't neccesarily break the spell of getting worked. the pleasures of it & the irreconcilable parsing too strong. knowing kayfabe doesn't break it bc it's a fusion w/ reality. oh but the riches found in the pursuit

one funny note about YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING is that [REDACTED] looks very beautiful in the film, which I was confused by because I never thought of her in that way, but then I realized it’s because I’ve only seen her in media where she’s surrounded by other attractive actors

okay, but what's Neon supposed to do about All of a Sudden being released theatrically in Japan in June, which would've been a terrible time to release it in the US?
Alex B. 🍿 Cinema@firstshowingOct 23
Yes. Definitely. But I hope the film industry one day wakes up & realizes this happens BECAUSE international release dates are so far apart. If it's on VOD in any country, it's out for everyone online. And this will never ever change. It's the distribution that is the problem.

imo, having anything worthwhile to say about oppressive qualities of corporatized art does, unfortunately for those who hate it, require actually engaging with it

that online discourses, often driven by marketing, make consuming art feel like homework is hardly a new thought, but it's hard not to make it sound "woe is me" hell, Soraya wrote about it (to some controversy) back in 2019 longreads.com/2019/04/26/whe…

When Did Pop Culture Become Homework? - Longreads

When art is a should or a must or a have to, when we turn it into a chore, it is the opposite of what art is supposed to be.

"There is no art you have to experience, just as there is no art you have to not experience. There is only art — increasingly ubiquitous — and there is only you, and what happens between both of you is not for me to assign."
