Cheryl Della Pietra
I'm very excited that the long-aborning adaptation of Cheryl Della Pietra’s novel GONZO GIRL started filming this week. Patricia Arquette is debut-directing Willem Dafoe as a dissolute journalist in late-stage creative decline. https://deadline.com/2022/07/camila-morrone-willem-dafoe-patricia-arquette-gonzo-girl-1235072590/

The Waste Land: A Facsimile & Transcript of the Original Drafts Including the Annotations of Ezra Pound
T. S. Eliot
@ethan_iverson Fantastic thread, and applicable to mastery of every art form. Young Pollock impersonating Thomas Hart Benton, but also in literature. Modernist Eliot's The Waste Land is a close reading of English literature from Chaucer to Matthew Arnold.

The French Dispatch
Wes Anderson
It struck me, after enjoying approximately 20 minutes of The French Dispatch, that, ca. 2000, Wes Anderson must have read James Woods’s definition of Hysterical Realism and vowed to devote the rest of his career to perfecting the recipe. https://t.co/KqQGPv0ZPQ
