I have two robust pieces herein, on João César Monteiro and the unmade scripts/treatments of Paul Morrissey, and am very, very proud of how issue #2, available for preorder now, has turned out.

Fun news. Our second issue of The Metrograph mag is inked and on the way. 160 pages, 90k words, and too many brilliant contributors to name—our deepest thanks to them all 🌹

Andy from Toy Story is now 37 years old and makes six figures designing park benches that electrocute the homeless.

I'm very sad, of course, but living nearly eight decades while creating art made with shockingly few compromises to outside interests, and *then* having that art be meaningful to a vast number of people, is as close to a 'W' as anyone gets in this life.

American popular cinema will never recover from turning its back on the subject of fucking, which literally everyone cares passionately about, to address the ethics of being a superhero, which is not an actual occupation.

When a movie pauses for even a second from its lone duty as a plot delivery mechanism to dwell on any of the incidental, offhand poetry that is the very texture of the lived life that we hold so dear I am horrified and immediately call the state and local police.

Used to be a movie ticket would cost you $9.00 and for that you'd get to see Eminem and Brittany Murphy have furtive, rushed sex in a sheet metal stamping factory.

One of the interesting side effects of 21st c. dead-tech filmmaking is that everything outside it now looks like a rich, humanist masterpiece. Revisited Rush Hour (1998) on my flight and was weeping at the beauty of everyone on-screen like it was Renoir's The River (1951).

I hope young people are learning today that if you make frequently off-putting art with absolutely no pretension to redeeming social value or responsibility which you later refuse to explain much less defend you will be universally beloved and mourned at the end of your life.

Paul Schrader seemingly referring to sex between two people as a "two way" is so advanced that my mind simply cannot handle it.

VHS tape rewinders were often shaped like powerful sports cars, to suggest the extreme speed with which they would rewind a cassette. This was widely, and correctly, regarded as cool.

Difficult to explain to anyone under 30 that there was a time when you could go for days, even months, without hearing a thing about Batman's arch-nemesis The Joker.

We need more movies for adults. Movies for grown-ups with real world problems. Movies in which John Travolta has his face removed and placed on the body of Nicolas Cage. Movies where Nicolas Cage then puts on John Travolta's face and ogles John Travolta's teenaged daughter.

What's great about Jeremy Renner is that he toiled in obscurity into his mid-thirties slowly building a reputation as a serious, intense "actor's actor" and then, the literal second that he got some heat, banged a hard right into Epic Bozo Mode and never looked back.

Mfw my father shares with me a vision in which he is on the veranda of a vast estate, a palazzo of some fantastic proportion.
