I had a very “Leo points at screen” moment while watching You Can See Everything, recalling the last question I posed to Lance Oppenheim in an interview over 5 years ago:

crazy to think that this is the last time we got to hear him voicing bugs bunny and it almost never got released. he should’ve had way more years ahead of him, still doesn’t make sense that he’s gone. RIP Eric Bauza

RIP Eric Bauza, one of the greatest of all time. Did almost every single one of those voices in Coyote vs Acme. Someone who clearly loved these characters so much that he wasn't just doing Mel Blanc, he made them his own. xitter.cf/TunesClips/status/1484…

This just might be Eric’s best performance of the whole series.

i know it’s prob weird rights and licensing issues, but it’s criminal that there isn’t a US blu-ray or 4K of this

ELEPHANT was released 23 years ago today. Gus Van Sant’s austere, long-take drama won both the Palme d’Or and Best Director at Cannes, yet its refusal to explain or sensationalize school violence still divides audiences.

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

Fjord, a good film, explores how the Nordic welfare state depends on the unanimous consent of an ethnic monoculture, and the disregard it shows to the out-groups who complicate that consensus
Film Comment Magazine@FilmCommentOct 22
"Fjord" asks whether or not many of these values—secularism, a commodified liberal commitment to free agency—are not simply elite heuristics," wrote @MarkAschParody out of the film's Cannes premiere. Read his take on Cristian Mungiu’s Palme d'Or winner: filmcomment.com/article/cann…

The biggest surprise in You Can See Everything is actually an incredibly nuanced piece of acting from a special guest. tinyurl.com/32ym36c6

The DP of the film is Canadian and the Wired editorial director who put Nathan on the cover and interviewed him for the story is also Canadian. You have no idea how deep this goes. We're coming for everything

The National Film Board of Canada was founded in 1939 by John Grierson who invented the term "documentary" The first Canadian fiction films in the 60s, Le Chat dans le sac and Nobody Waved Goodbye, pretended to be docs to trick the NFB for funding. We have a long history of this.

With the popularity of Nathan Fielder, Nirvanna The Band The Show, and Blue Heron, I wonder if the movie of the moment is a new "Kiarostami wave" where filmmakers foreground the interplay of fiction vs. reality in our AI era. The Shrouds and Caught by the Tides are other examples

There has never been another Derek Jarman, and there will never be another Derek Jarman.
John Frankensteiner@JFrankensteinerOct 17
Rep audiences get clowned a lot, but during The Devils last night, the “Sets Designed by Derek Jarman” end credit got a crowd pop like it was 1998 Stone Cold Steve Austin, and I think that's beautiful
