Casablanca 2001
if you were given the chance to spend your last few hours on earth in a movie theatre, able to choose the final film you ever watch, what film would it be?

Didn’t write it then but I’d like to time the start of my shuffling off to with the stargate-human zoo sequence of course. As star child is born, I go bye bye.

For my Ask A Music Critic, I wrote about Rolling Stone's insane but fun "greatest rock songs of the 21st century" list, and offered up my own "definitive rock anthems of the modern era" choices. stevenhyden.substack.com/p/a…

One important thing to understand is that the legal architecture around the right to protest in India remains colonial in its design, and the Supreme Court has been enforcing this colonial architecture since 1960. The Constitution did nothing to change this.

Maybe cheating a bit with a greatest hits collection, but it truly is an album IMO. rkhub.site/albums9
Wanted to include THE HEAD IN THE DOOR but the website didn’t have it for some reason rkhub.site/albums9

What he said. Remarkable formal control in excellent service of its story (and great performances on the silent and abrasively loud ends of the spectrum by Anna and Soori resp). I can’t explain it, but reminded me of Meek’s Cutoff
this is easily one of the best Indian films of this decade (admittedly not a very high bar, but just trust me on this). fantastic silent central performance by Anna Ben too

More than any CBFC censorship, not having subtitles affects the viewing of PRIMETIME the most. Its happened with a @PicturesPVR film again. They simply wont listen. Ppl speak in diff accents, often fast which were illegible. So many ppl in my theatre were complaining about this

Absolute madness. Feeling despondent.
I thought I had done everything required under Karnataka’s SIR After online/offline detective work, helped by neighbours on WhatsApp, I tracked down 2002 voting details for myself & my mother Both our names appeared on the draft roll on 24 Aug I heaved a sigh of relief 🧵 1/12
