Urging all parties involved to read the Andrea Long Chu evisceration of A Little Life. Puts a lot of fanfic gripes into words - I don't think it was ever verified that she wrote any, but lots of people have pointed out that the conventions are v similar

I read this passage aloud once at a lunch for a friend/colleague who was moving to another state for a new job. Everyone at the lunch was in tears, and she was moved beyond words.

We are saddened to learn of the passing of Slava Tsukerman, director of the new wave classic LIQUID SKY. Slava was a true visionary and uncompromising artist who created an international sensation with SKY, helping to change art, fashion, and music forever.
In the nearly two years leading up to the release of LIQUID SKY, Slava, along with his wife and long-time collaborator Nina Kerova, often invited us to join them for meals and visits to the New York neighborhoods which inspired them, from the East Village to Brighton Beach. Their kindness made them a pleasure to work with and we are honored that they trusted us to restore and present Slava's masterwork on home video.

Noonan's writer/director debut “What Happened Was...” is one of the great underseen masterpieces. This monologue, man. Destroys me more and more as the years go on. Too fucking real.

I really do like Whiplash. 'Abuse may kill a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people play more technically proficient jazz, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not' is an amazing thesis for a film to have

To be an artist, you don't have to compose music or paint or be in the movies or write books. It's just a way of living. It has to do with paying attention, remembering, filtering what you see and answering back, participating in life.

unwittingly you've met transgender persons whom you have not even noticed. a courteous cashier, a friendly waitress, a relative of a friend. they are human beings like you. they are not demons, villains. you didn't even notice them. really, you don't have to protect women & girls from them, to the degree that you might need to protect girls & women from random men who commit by far the majority of violent acts against girls & women.
if you doubt this, look up the statistics regarding rape & rape/murder. who commits those acts? when a pregnant woman is killed, who is most likely to have killed her?
seriously: do the research.
