Scorsese running time? Yawn! More interested in the news that THE MARVELS is 15 hours long, beginning with a two-hour long lecture from an AI-generated Claude Lanzmann on how the MCU continues the work he began in SHOAH.

Delighted to learn that a) László Krasznahorkai was apparently lying about BARON WENCKHEIM’S HOMECOMING maybe being his last novel b) HERSCHT 07769, published in 2021 and currently being translated into English, is a single sentence that’s 432 pages in the original Hungarian.

Unlocked from our last issue: a chapter from Michael Almereyda's recently published book TESLA: ALL MY DREAMS ARE TRUE, in which he takes credit for TOTAL RECALL's final lines (!) https://t.co/BDgd163F1D https://t.co/Ib2sMXX8A6

Beginning my *fourth* George Gissing novel today (THE WHIRLPOOL), which is an example of "really committing to the bit."

THREE THOUSAND YEARS OF LONGING uses the word “story” more than a Robert McKee seminar, illustrating its longing for “universal” archetypes to help us endure reality via endless CG that’s predictably very literal-minded rather than freeing. Bring back ontological realism!

@BohemiaStable Apparently he's just launched a new podcast on Spotify, "Jello Biafra's Renegade Roundtable," and his first guest was Al Jourgensen of Ministry.

Marcel Rouff’s THE PASSIONATE EPICURE, the source material for Trần Anh Hùng’s forthcoming Cannes premiere THE POT AU FEU, is, as they say, insanely French (the second bit is from the introduction) https://t.co/Df6IQVmz8X

In all the excitement of the Trump administration, I somehow missed that in 2016 Benoît Jacquot gave us an adaptation of Don DeLillo's THE BODY ARTIST.
