I’m going to be offline for much of the next week because of TIFF, but I’ll be popping in here and there to say OH WOW LOOK AT THOSE SOFT VULNERABLE PICTURES OF FASSBENDER
and also I saw a young man today that looked like a young james mcavoy - he was so fresh faced and short and really BEAUTIFUL and when it started to rain he stepped out from under the awning his friends were crowded under and tilted his face up to the sky and I was thought “someone must be IN LOVE with you right now”
also also - THE FINAL GIRLS YOU GUYS. KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR IT. IT’S SO MUCH FUN AND SO WONDERFUL, ESPECIALLY IF YOURE A FAN OF THE SLASHER HORROR GENRE AND AWESOME LADIES.
“I was smoking four packs of cigarettes a day then, and getting up those walls was murder. They had to bank one wall so I could make it up and then through another wall. We filmed that whole sequence in one day. We did it on a concrete floor. My body just had to absorb this tremendous shock. Things were building to such a crescendo that I thought I’d have to commit suicide for the ending. I came back on the set three days later. All the grips applauded. Gene applauded, told me what a great number it was. Then Gene said, ‘Do you think you could do that number again?’ I said, ‘Sure, any time.’ He said, ‘Well, we’re going to have to do it again tomorrow.’ No one had checked the aperture of the camera and they fogged out all the film. So the next day I did it again! By the end my feet and ankles were a mass of bruises.“

Akira Kurosawa, on watching Solaris with Andrei Tarkovsky:
Tarkovsky was sitting in the corner of the screening room watching the film with me, but he got up as soon as the film was over, and looked at me with a shy smile. I said to him, “It’s very good. It’s a frightening movie.” He seemed embarrassed, but smiled happily.
Then the two of us went to a film union restaurant and toasted with vodka. Tarkovsky, who does not usually drink, got completely drunk and cut off the speakers at the restaurant, then began singing the theme of Seven Samurai at the top of his voice. I joined in, eager to keep up.
At that moment I was very happy to be on Earth.
