Love how George Miller described this as the anti-Fury Road but it turns out to be visually richer and bolder than 90% of the stuff being directed by people 1/2 his age.

God I love Kate Bush. This was during the period she was directing all her own music videos. Had no idea before that Peter Reich was on set - his memoir "A Book of Dreams" about his relationship with his father Wilhelm was the inspiration for Cloudbusting. https://t.co/cZTfVp7E8D

Kojima on the extraordinary LONG DAY’S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT. The US Blu Ray by @KinoLorber has a booklet with an interview I did with filmmaker Bi Gan in 2 parts across six months. (Turns out he’s a gamer, too). https://t.co/ci2Umg5XmJ

I can never say enough about how Mike Davis’ book City of Quartz unlocked Los Angeles like a forbidden cipher, exposing how racism and consumerism built into American cities went supernova there; the first police force in cars with radios, the retreat into malls & compounds. https://twitter.com/samaugustdean/status/1551595631885447168

The movie White Noise based on the novel by Don DeLillo which features families fleeing an ‘airborne toxic event’ caused by a train crash was filmed in 2021 in… East Palestine, Ohio..?? https://t.co/0vuP4BXpa6

@helenshang The comeback shows in London, the only one I am old enough to have gone to lol. I basically rigged an excuse to go try and pitch a tv series there so I could go. The day before the concert went to a David Mitchell signing for The Bone Clocks & find out he wrote material for it!

@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN Check out Blindsight by Peter Watts an ex marine biologist. I was hired to adapt it into a movie screenplay. First contact story with enhanced posthumans meeting alien life so radical about evolution and consciousness its thesis is dangerous. Plus the crew has a space vampire!

@shadowraptor51 @DerekBrocks @VyceVictus Cormac McCarthy’s The Road but it’s a guy on his own whose ego couldn’t handle his wife posting some nudes for rent money

I started HELLBOUND today, the new Netflix series by Train to Busan director Yeon Sang-ho & locked in for 3 episodes until had to take a break. It’s stunning, starts with a monster beatdown but turns into existential horror about our inability to find justice in any institution. https://t.co/EjyXC7GhT0

A revealing portrait of Putin by the author of one of the greatest books I’ve ever read about Russia & media control ‘Nothing is True and Everything is Possible’ - which ended up being horrifyingly prophetic about the US & UK https://twitter.com/peterpomeranzev/status/1497281643337293824
