The only two choices in Hollywood are young and hot, or old and decrepit. There is very little room for anything in between.

Watched the SNL50 special last night. It was a classic SNL experience: knew it probably wouldnât be great but watched out of inertia anyway, a few really funny bits interspersed with lots of not so funny bits, and it ran about an hour too long.
Absolutely great that Miley Cyrus and Brittany Howard did Sinead OâConnor, and equally disappointing that with so many ripe possibilities no picture was ripped up at the end this time. Boooooo to that missed opportunity.

Iâm sure your question was rhetorical but out of curiosity I just checked anyway. His youngest daughter is 34 and his youngest son is 22.
But still, plausible or not itâs stupid and sexist to make Tyler appear to be a different age for no reason.

Ok, I just found a picture of Liv Tyler from the red carpet for the Brave New World premiere. So this is a really recent picture. If they CGIâd her or deep faked her face or anything else, I have no idea why TF they would do that, because she looks fucking amazing.

honestly, iâm surprised SinĂ©ad was even acknowledged it at all! They should have at least held up a sign saying âApologies, SinĂ©ad - You were rightâ or somethingâŠ

Right? I was ecstatic when I realized what they were doing, and that it was Miley Cyrus, who is a big enough broad enough star that I thought well she can get away with whatever the fuck she wants. I guess just referencing it by playing the song was supposed to be enough.

This was so good. Donât watch any previews or trailers for it - go in blind. Trust me itâs amazing!
Sophie Thatcher is fantastic!
Donât unblur until after you watch the movie:
Chekhovâs corkscrew!

Ooh, from the creators of Barbarian. That one was pretty good. Except for the whole, you know, the classic horror movie problem: WHY ARE YOU EXPLORING THE BASEMENT INSTEAD OF LEAVING THE HOUSE IMMEDIATELY

A couple people worth getting to knowâŠ
The Early Works of Cheryl Dunye
Janine, She Donât Fade, Vanilla Sex, An Untitled Portrait, The Potluck and the Passion, Greetings from Africa
Great ultra-low budget SOV explorations of the âintersections of Black and Queer identityâ that could only have been made in the â90s from the future director of The Watermelon Woman. Dunye refers to her style as Dunyementary, which seems to involve the characters often interrupting the based-on-reality fiction to discuss the action, either from within or without their characters. This may make it sound overly intellectual or alienating, but I think it comes off as charming and diaristic. And you donât get many films where a sex scene with the director/writer/star is interrupted by the crew telling her sheâs doing it all wrong.
All six films are also available on the Criterion Channel in slightly better quality.
Nearly an hour of material from performance artist Tammy Faye Starlite (real name, Tamar âTammyâ Debra Lang Hartel). We start with a brief sample of her Nico impression including her rendition of âDeutschland ĂŒber alles.â (I should note at this point that Tammy is Jewish.) Next we get her most famous character, Miss Tammy Faye herself, a drugged out Christianist anti-semitic country singer, who amongst Stones, Jeannie C. Riley, and Norman Greenbaum covers, performs self-penned tunes such as âGod Has Lodged a Tenant in My Uterusâ and âDid I Shave My Vagina for This?â Hilarious, although perhaps a bit dark for these times.

In the late years of the Franco regime in the Spanish State, a group of Catalan artists began producing underground and politically dissident films in Barcelona. These artists, loosely organized intellectually by Joaquin JordĂ (who led a conference in 1967 that many of them attended), were opposed not only to the repression of the Francoist regime but to the cinema being produced in Madrid. Franco had loosened censorship of the film industry as part of an attempt to liberalize the economy and integrate with Europe, leading to a wave of state-approved films in an apparently socially critical neorealist or quasi-modernist style from filmmakers like Carlos Saura, Juan Antonio Bardem, and Luis GarcĂa Berlanga. The Barcelona School artists thought these films were incapable of mounting an honest political critique and instead gave center-left cover to the regime.
Interesting overview and list. I only recall seeing the two Portabella films at the very end, Cuadecuc, vampir and Umbracle, both great, but Iâve read good things about some of the horror films. Thereâs an article from Senses of Cinema which tells more:

I feel lowkey guilty posting YT content here but itâs what i mostly watch so⊠there! 
That said i thought this DIY project was pretty neat. Not something i have a need for but it seems well executed and i appreciate that the makers that i follow were keen on making it open source

I wonder which Tim Key poetry book heâs talking about.
