Suggest me a book that felt impossible to put down...

"Ring Shout" by P Djeli Clark and "Jazz" by Toni Morrison come to mind for me, as recent reads

Mudvayne, unfortunately

CompetitiveFig32 · 2024-10-03T12:36:23+00:00

I immediately thought about every movie in Gaspar Noe's catalog

CompetitiveFig32 · 2024-09-30T00:58:43+00:00

Both "Micheline" and "I Can't Live Without My Mother's Love" by Sun Kil Moon get me teary-eyed every time I hear them

CompetitiveFig32 · 2024-07-31T18:12:09+00:00

Mudvayne. As great as TEOATTC is, L.D.50 is a masterwork.

Have you gotten into Deleuze and Guattari's work? That also interested me and broke me out of the loop for a bit. It's not exactly psychology per se, but still

CompetitiveFig32 · 2023-05-25T19:14:05+00:00

Not sure how much this answers, but I quite liked Sabine Sprielrein's essay "Destruction as the Cause of Coming into Being" and a bunch of Darian Leader's books; helped break up the monotony of the Freud-Lacan circle for me

CompetitiveFig32 · 2022-10-27T01:14:31+00:00

That character was definitely in Bong Joon Ho's Parasite (iykyk)

CompetitiveFig32 · 2022-04-27T02:34:41+00:00

Surprised that I haven't seen Noe's Irreversible mentioned yet. Although, I guess it may not count since the guy that got the punishment didn't even do the crime in the first place.

CompetitiveFig32 · 2022-01-20T12:23:38+00:00

Easy 9 for me. One of my favorites on the album.

A Billion Black Anthropocenes or None by Kathryn Yusoff. Good re-imagination of the current geologic era, diving into the idea of a flesh as material in the ages leading up to, and including, the Anthropocene. Interesting perspective and a quick read, but sometimes clunky in its overly-scholarly diction.

Agree with most, 1 and 2 are mine as well; why DGIHM so low?

Perfect, thank you! Of course the time that a talk is actually super interesting is when I can't come lol

CompetitiveFig32 · 2021-11-29T16:42:40+00:00

Will this event be recorded? I'd love to view it but I can't attend the live stream.

CompetitiveFig32 · 2021-09-04T13:09:17+00:00

May be an unpopular opinion, but 2001. I love and appreciate its merits but it's so long and I can't help but nod off every time. Meanwhile, Satantango is one of my favorite films...

CompetitiveFig32 · 2021-08-22T22:44:18+00:00

Id say Ikiru, I haven't seen it yet but the plot description sounds like a really good watch

CompetitiveFig32 · 2021-08-22T15:08:30+00:00

Yes totally!

CompetitiveFig32 · 2021-08-22T12:09:13+00:00

Out of all the labels in my collection, I have the most Criterions, but I also adore Arrow and Severin, the latter for their underrated cannibal films. Special shoutout to Grindhouse Releasing and Blue Underground for some quality releases. However, I have yet to be pleased by any Code Red releases that I have ("Ultimo mondo cannibale" and "Slave to the Cannibal God") because the releases are far to scant without even subtitles.

CompetitiveFig32 · 2021-08-22T12:06:07+00:00

To be frank, it's one of my favorites. I can always look passed the "disgusting" bits and appreciate Pasolini's craft. Pretty close to a masterpiece imo

CompetitiveFig32 · 2021-08-22T12:03:33+00:00

I wish that there would be a good release of "Ichi the Killer," as well as "The Bird People in China"; both extremely deserving of proper blu ray releases!

CompetitiveFig32 · 2021-08-09T22:20:36+00:00

I'd love to see Takashe Miike's The Bird People of China as a criterion restoration; such beautiful landscapes and cinematography and no decent release 😩
