The general mood on Bluesky reminds me of the morning when Trump was elected, almost 8 years ago. This is a sensible song about the morning after, from North Carolina country/Americana band American Aquarium.

Even country songwriters from North Carolina felt bad that morning.

Season of Mists / Game of You / Song of Orpheus / Midsummer Night's Dream will make for one killer season... where does Barnabas fit in though? You aren't doing Brief Lives already, are you?

I know Americans are depressed, but there's a new Johnny Cash album out, a new Guided by Voices album too. And Silvarada (formerly Mike & The Moonpies), and a rather nifty Wilco EP.

It's here! It's mine! "Blue Velvet" 4k edition from Criterion. The greatest real cineast experience I had as a teenager in the 1980s.

yeah, that's a good version. The original 1970s version I find a bit underwhelming to be honest, but it reached its full potential in live versions in the 1980s and 90s.

"A Short Film About John Bolton" isn't bad, I used to own it on .... was it VHS or DVD? It's about John Bolton the painter/artist, not the asshole right wing Republican.

I subscribed to Apple TV Plus again because the new Lily Gladstone film is streaming from Friday. Love her so much. It's getting good reviews too. 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. YAY!

Yeah, La Chimera was great... when this started playing in the film I said to my girlfriend "That's a Tangerine Dream track" until I realized my error 20 seconds later.

I liked this album so much back in the day... with his later albums I must admit felt like he didn't evolve enough, his hero Lou Reed was better at evolving into making music that was also for middle aged people.

I'm Danish, and I've managed to subscribe to Criterion by using a VPN program, it's not that difficult, you just need the VPN while signing up, set it to "USA", after that you dont need the VPN in the future. You can also use the VPN to access other MUBI films in other countries.

I responded much more to Marienbad the second time I watched it. Yeah, this one is good. The mannerisms may have been influenced by Agnes Varda's first (pretty good) film, La Pointe Courte. Resnais worked as editor on that one. Oh, and DO watch My American Uncle on Criterion Channel.

Anyway, I did a search and I noticed that the issue has recently been remastered closer to Oliff's intentions (he apparently DID do a hand painted version before if was turned into photoshop colors)

But actually I think it was Steve Oliff, who's a digital colorist... he's just better at it than many others.

Fascinating! A stranger comes to my profile and starts raving about freemasonry and pedophiles, completely out of context. What do these people expect? Instant ban, of course.

don't think so... writer Neil Gaiman is the most followed and (possibly) beloved poster, big with the trans crowd too, and he doesn't state his.

Yeah, same thinking here - I missed it last time it was at the local cinemateque, and I think you probably need to 'commit' in some way to actually get round to watching this. Anyway, her film "Letters From Home" was pretty good, seen that.

(well preserved film actually has higher resolution than 4k - although it can be awkward to compare analog and digital - so it should look quite spectacular)
