I spoke with Gregg Araki for @BFI about I WANT YOUR SEX — a soft film about hard people; the romantic tension at the heart of his work; the importance of getting hurt; the inevitability of apocalypse; and why he won't stop remaking Nowhere bfi.org.uk/interviews/gregg-…

So basically Breaking Bad is great but didn’t age well and Mad Men is better but it’s actually a great American novel while 30 Rock helped a lot of people come out as asexual and process a late autism diagnosis live for the first time

Final form Quentin Dupieux is a GTA: San Andreas-style middle-aged grump-com where living in a simulation is more of a mild inconvenience than a cataclysmic apocalypse. My review of #LeVertige (or #Vertiginous) for @TGS_TheGeekShow at @fantasticfest here: thegeekshow.co.uk/vertiginou…
Vertiginous's Lo-Fi and Low-Poly Sci-fi Existentialism is about as on brand as a director like Quentin Dupieux gets, which is to say the man is impossible to second guess. Read more from @fantasticfest and @filmicthought here: thegeekshow.co.uk/vertiginou…

Austin Abrams asks Skyler Gisondo what it was like working with Robert Pattinson on Primetime while interviewing each other on the A24 Podcast: A: “How was your work with Pattinson in Primetime?“ S: “Speaking of shapeshifters, yeah Rob is like the ultimate- … he is someone to me who is unrecognizable role to role, down to like every mannerism; every mannerism is invented [.…] It was just so unexpected and interesting and dynamic. I just remember thinking like ‘I would never-, like what actor? Who would think to [do the things that he does]?’ and that was everyday — the decisions he made. He was able to move in and out of things so quickly, he wasn’t one of those people who walks around with a dark cloud over his head. It was so effortless for him to find new things, try new things, try something - throw it away, and everything was like the most incredible acting I’d ever seen. It seemed so effortless for him, which I know it’s not but it was so inspiring to work with him.”

random npcs in the pokemon center when you walk up and talk to them:
This is random but the backpack is really one of the greatest inventions. Great form and function. Lasts a long time, even the cheap ones. And is available and used by every kind of person.

Documentary bulletin: Ross McElwee is aware John Wilson is inspired by him but has never watched John's work; he casually mentions that Primetime's Lance Oppenheim was "a student of mine" and notes he's interested in the Elizabeth Holmes doc he made with Nathan something or other
Ross McElwee's REMAKE is a prickly and heart-breaking doc about the autobiographical traps that filmmakers set themselves. I spoke to McElwee about grief, fatherhood, filming your life and SHERMAN'S MARCH for @AnOtherMagazine READ: anothermag.com/design-living…
