benicio you wily devil

but i do put it in the paper

from the gentle obituary about north dakota food writer Marilyn Hagerty:

I just write about sort of half-crazy things,” she told The Times in 2020, when she was filing three stories a week instead of the five she had contributed for many years. “Kind of like what you’d tell your friends but you wouldn’t put in the paper, but I do put it in the paper.”

wow to this list of spouses

the sad truth (i’m back!)

am I wrong or is it just really hard to live with others? even your very favorites. OR maybe only when ONE PARTICULAR PERSON is a no-fun, headache-having, sickly, somewhat needy, jealous, spendy, vegetarian, rule-abiding bureaucrat?

just the most horrifying, beautiful, moving television show.

this guy

from his April 2023 Cahiers du Cinema interview:

One of the most beautiful things about your shorts is that they reconnect with black and white.

It’s funny that you tell me about it, I had an appointment two days ago with Fred Elmes, the cinematographer of Eraserhead, which we shot with Double-X black and white film. There is the +X, the double X and the tri-X. Fred told me we only do Double-X, my favorite. It is simply exquisite. The black and white is so sublime. (He pauses suddenly and for a long time, his voice begins to tremble). You can go back in time more easily with black and white, you can… visit another world. One day, we had sent a magnificent copy of Eraserhead to Deauville. The film was shown late at night, during a session with proper dress required, people came to sit in tuxedos in this brand new cinema which was at the forefront of technical refinement. A Frenchman whose name I have forgotten told me: “On the screen appeared your film, Eraserhead. But it was not black and white. It was black and silver… It was so beautiful. The colors of the crowd matched those of the screen.” I pictured myself this evening, and I can still see it… And those people in tuxedos, it’s the pinnacle of elegance. That’s what a screening should be: a party with lots of people in tuxedos. It’s such a treasured tradition.
