Still reeling from seeing Donnie Darko in the movie theatre. One of my first ever recs on here was Donnie Darko related. It’s still pinned to my profile. Rly stoked on Metrograph’s Suburbia programming right now (Vivicore) and I have always wanted to catch it in the theater
Really excited for the Todd Solondz Q+A Metrograph is throwing this weekend too
I really understand him, yknow? I’m a lot like him if he was personable. And a girl. Holden Caulfield too. Whatever

I haven't even watched any other Christopher Nolan movies but this movie is a masterpiece. One of my most memorable theater experiences too, I went dressed as him. It made me cry and I cherish that film a lot.

in the wake of the untimely death of buddy duress, i am reminded of the magnetic energy i felt discovering the safdie brothers.
i first watched good time in film school, thanks to one of my only cool teachers (european). while i loved the film, i loved the safdie brothers‘ ethos even more.
they scouted their stars from around the city - interesting people with tough lives. from reading and listening to podcasts, it seemed hectic. buddy durress wasn’t a trained actor, he was sometimes homeless and other times locked up at rikers. how do you manage that kind of talent?
the article i’m including in this post could explain what the safdie brothers accomplish better than i can. their film heaven knows what is one of my all time favorites - but the story behind it solidifies why it’s so important.
i’m not sure what arielle holmes is up to now, but i’m grateful she indulged everyone long enough to be able to make that film.

When the bar or venue or whatever is underground and you have to descend into the place because you can say some shit like “We are entering the seedy underbelly of this wicked city” “You know,” *cig drag* “crime is only a left-handed form of human endeavor.”
And then your friends can be like “Viv, you can’t smoke inside Dude also where the fuck did you find a pipe and a fedora What are you even saying” Giving you the opportunity to respond with a
“Beat it toots, you’re too pretty for these streets anyhow”
Then you remember your friend already offered to pay for the Uber XL home and you have like 11 bucks so you drop the bit but the sentiment is still there below the surface
