  1. @labuzamovies @CriterionCorner That's...some archival find. Though *I* probably would have taken the abuse & told IKEA jokes, or something.
  2. @loosejoints God, I love that LP, esp "Paisagem da Janela". Lo's eponymous--recorded right after CLUBE--is fantastic. So's A VIA LACTEA.
  3. @loosejoints I'm a Lo Borges man, myself. Thanks for that link!
  4. @Kalboat Is it trained to attack white people? #please #say #yes
  5. My god. @Criterion has outed my Harriet Andersson mammary-fetishism to the tune of...several retweets. Thanks, guys! Kisses.
  6. @JoeGalm Ohhhhh baby. New summer, new competition. #IT #IS #ON
  7. "Come for the boobs, stay for the existential meditations on human suffering" Me on SUMMER W/MONIKA for @Slant_Magazine slantmagazine.com/dvd/review/sum…
  8. @simonsaybrams @calummarsh @selfstyldsiren Simon of course refers to the showstopper from A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM.
  9. @loosejoints I kinda like that one, too. One of the few films of his that works & isn't a black tautology. Great Prince score.
  10. @emakbakia_ I had a dream that I was hit by a BART train in San Francisco, and as I recovered my spectacles became melted and droopy.
  11. @RazorTheDog @simonsaybrams @kenjfuj Isn't POOPING IN YOUR FACE WHILE PLAYING THE NOTHING a John Cage record?
  12. @emakbakia_ Thanks much for reading!
  13. @RazorTheDog @kenjfuj Are you the same Razor the Dog who produced all those Ron Howard movies?
  14. @yumyumicecream @kenjfuj Are you talking about Edgar Winter?
  15. @aliarikan Thanks for the RT, Ali!
  16. I wrote a tribute for Doc Watson, who just passed away. One of my favorite bluegrass guitarists. Read: slantmagazine.com/house/2012/05/… @House_Next_Door
  17. @kenjfuj @RazorTheDog I've seen "aww"-er.
  18. @simonsaybrams @Pischina Hasta placenta, baby.
  19. @LCosgrove I have much affection for that late Lubitsch, & esp. the "worldly" European maid that corrupts the affluent American youth.
  20. LETTER NEVER SENT is almost embarrassingly proto-Marshall McLuhan. Nearly every diegetic medium has its message's content castrated.
