Incredible thank you to Bright Wall/Dark Room for allowing me to be weird and personal about this film. It's so colored with my personal story that I didn't know if I had the goods to write about it. Could not have done it without them. Go read it! Go watch Perfect Days! Go be kind to the world!

As a massive fan of the Talking Heads and director Mike Mills, it was a treat to interview Mills about the films that influenced his new music video for “Psycho Killer”, as well as how the band themselves have informed so much of his work. Read the interview on @letterboxd.social here: boxd.it/2zg

There’s nothing that makes me laugh harder than this franchise, and I think it’s because there’s nothing quite like laughing with your friends; and that to me is the guiding truth of this series. Put differently, nothing says I love you like batting a ball at your best pal’s privates.

A couple summers ago, I taught a JACKASS-themed Word West writing workshop. Every week, we'd chat about one of the movies for an hour, then workshop their stories. It was the best! For many reasons, "it feels like it can belong to anybody, that anybody can become a part of it" big among them.

that's why i refuse to use baby talk and only refer them as "cinema". now to take a big sip of coffee and look up that word's etymology

(Pops head up, leaves clinging to hair) "Movies" was originally a slang term that could be derogatory and applied to both motion pictures and the people who made them.
