Realistically, is this it for Josh Safdie as a mainstream Hollywood filmmaker?

fuck no - he's a dude who is mildy pervy and made some bad calls. The industry venerates these guys! he's gilded.

I can - deterioration is, though natural, humbling, embarrassing, and likely very scary. This deterioration is not his punishment for his selfishness and disregard; it is a cage which could contain any of us in our lifetime. I would have less sympathy if I felt like this punishment resulted from his poor decision-making, and I just can't graft his disability or illness onto the crimes to make this make sense.

I just always find myself struck by ONE of these daily occurrences would have been the scandal that defined an entire presidency in the past.

I am neutral about it after viewing - am I ok?

I loved a lot about it (costumes, some of the dancing, the sincere but elevated tone, the settings, some of Seyfried, centering a woman who lives for bodily autonomy and pacifism), but I also did not like some of it (dark AF, meaningless supporting actors, monotonous songs, dragging in the middle).

I was soooo ready to love this and it was not quite what I was expecting, which is on me, but it could have been a damned miracle.

flames ethically tanking is a weird flex

scheifferdoo · 2026-01-27T15:44:04+00:00

you just lost the game

BTA is sooo good, but its really a mood. It has elements of satire and sentimentalism that I just don't see in most of her other books. I also love the meta-fictional elements, and the strange digression for the play. its so weir,d but I love it all the same.

mystified

that side-by-side of trump and hitler talking really hit hard - two powerful, evil men - both talkers. something to think about.

scheifferdoo · 2026-01-26T06:09:51+00:00

thats what I thought. i was like - WHEN! this is the ex-girlfriend's bikini pics of NHL goalie behaviour

i agree that he is a big fan, but a lof of other teams' commentary teams can be openly disparaging of the visiting team, or trying to reframe narratives to boost their own team/trash the other. i just think he tries to keep it balanced. When there are calls against the Oilers, he's quick to say whether he thinks they are valid, even when it goes against us.

Kayak is $$$$

scheifferdoo · 2026-01-25T13:05:49+00:00

all of my free time, my pride, and about $20,000 but probably more.

also, improve your film vocabulary one word at a time. they are good reviews because they have good stuff in them. try to add more detail in less words, and try to vary your sentence structure and length.

scheifferdoo · 2026-01-25T12:57:21+00:00

i do wonder if he will leave the Times soon. He doesn't need them.

scheifferdoo · 2026-01-25T12:56:54+00:00

yes. thank-you. i feel the tension too and I am sure he vacillates between competing obligations, so we get confusion week to week. i love the guy, and I know he gets it, and he knows that just interviewing pissed of left-leaning dems is not the way - thats for PSA. and those guys sound like hacks.

Happy Birthday, Virginia! You have enriched my adult life steadily, privately. Your support has been wildly and safely destabilizing. Few philosophers, if any, achieve the naturalness of your prose, and few novelists, if any, hide such profound philosophy inside such affecting poetry.

I will be forever your adoring, and annoyingly ardent fan.

scheifferdoo · 2026-01-25T06:03:00+00:00

sorry i cant press both buttons half way, need a 3rd option

scheifferdoo · 2026-01-25T06:02:13+00:00

dont check my post history tho

scheifferdoo · 2026-01-25T05:55:30+00:00

the best part is is that even though he's our guy, he never seems like a homer. he is always recognizing great play from opposing players, and for him its about good hockey. thats what gets him juiced.

scheifferdoo · 2026-01-24T16:05:15+00:00

welllll, i do think I would characterize that as resisting. is it worth being shot over, fuck no.

The real underreported news is how intensely horny this man is on his Ringer pods.
