Follows Tilda Swinton as she bikes the perimeter of the Berlin Wall. It really precisely intersects a few of my specific interests but getting a bikes-eye view of 80s Berlin feels like such a rare gift. Shoutout Le Cinema Club for this one.

Clocking in at about nine hours, I saw this over the course of three screenings in the fall of 2010. It’s a real commitment and incredibly weird, but also gorgeous and disgusting and full of Vaseline and cameos by artists and athletes. I know Matthew Barney was not a great partner to Björk so he loses points retrospectively, but I think it’s cool that he took his Ralph Lauren modeling money and put it into funding a very weird art career. An added bonus is that a bunch of ephemera from the film is in museum collections around the world, so once in a while, I’ve stumbled across some strange object or film still out in the wild.
I also got to see “The River of Fundament” in 2016 over the course of two screenings and am eager for more weird long epic movies.

Honestly bro I had no idea wtf was going on in ts but the wardrobe was A1 and scene locations were mad cool. It also is the same dude who did Possession, ik a lot of you mfs on this app like that one. Starring Romy Schneider of “La Piscine” fame, also features a sleazed out performance by Klaus Kinski, it’s ab a photographer who likes some actress but her sherm bf is unhinged and manipulating her idk I got tired of reading subtitles. Overall it‘s a great movie to watch if you want to take a picture of ur screen to throw on ur IG story to make ppl think ur mad esoteric and knowledgeable ab late 20th century European cinema.

My friend and I happened upon this. Meaning, strive to live your life in a way that makes you feel hot. Dress to feel hot. Talk to feel hot. Do whatever you do, but in a way that makes you feel like you're worthy of the love and adoration and crushes and desire you deserve. This does not mean "sexy" necessarily--hotness is always shifting and has many forms. But reach deep inside and you'll find that your own personal method and mode of hotness can always, and most of the time is, an excellent guide.

Kind of a genre of medieval paintings, but confirms to me how horny people have always been and how we've always had to sublimate our desires into the dominant culture. It's so weirdly explicit and bizarre, and has so many layers in how it would have been used: a painting to look at, a page in a prayer book to speak as a script, a physical object to touch and venerate and meditate with.... like imagine people fingering this "wound" and being like, yes this is honestly totally about jesus. Crazy.
