Hollywood is a technological crapshoot. Table stakes open at a million dollars. It was true in 1968, it is true now.

The place makes everyone a gambler. Its spirit is speedy, obsessive, immaterial. The action itself is the art form, and is described in aesthetic terms: “A very imaginative deal,” they say, or “He writes the most creative deals in the business”. There is in Hollywood, as in all cultures in which gambling is the central activity, a lowered sexual energy, an inability to devote more than token attention to the preoccupations of the society outside. The action is everything, more consuming than sex, more immediate than politics; more important always than the acquisition of money, which is never, for the gambler, the true point of the exercise.

This would work so incredibly well as a Needle Drop in a thriller or horror film.

🔁 pls reblog for sample size

#I’ve done the first three but not the fourth (yet) #it’s fucking awesome #most of the time it’s way cooler than going with people

i know this is coming from a place of like intense sexual objectification and homophobia and racism not to mention the world ending efforts of big oil but unfortunately it is so funny

saw a tiktok of a mother taking her very tiny daughter to an art museum and she’s just walking around going “whoooa” “woooaah” to everything but then they got to a marble statue of a nude woman lying on her back and the girl points and goes “mommy🫵” and i just immediately welled up with tears and all the comments are just laughing about it and of course it’s funny but how are you not insanely moved by the way art connects everyone on earth from a centuries-old sculptor to a toddler in 2023

Don Hertzfeldt - It's Such a Beautiful Day (2012)

Griffin Dunne in a an article from TWO magazine circa 1999. Oddly enough, the seller on eBay didn't include a month or year for this issue.

The paragraph in the left clipping reads: "Griffin Dunne lives in New York City, but several months of the year he shares an apartment in Westwood, Calif., with a good friend, Charlie Wessler [producer of Dumb & Dumber and Green Book], and that's where I photographed him. This is Charlie's Border terrier, and he's famous. He's the same dog that terrorized Ben Stiller in THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY. Griffin came across as very proper at first, but after a few pictures he loosened up and we laughed nonstop. He is alert and well educated, and the apartment was filled with paintings and books. Griffin has a dry sense of humor, and he's so smart you can't resist him. As for the dog, he's pure muscle."

The blurb in the right clipping reads: "If I knew that, l'd fall in love over and over again. Hearts aren't supposed to be mended. If you fall in love and it doesn't work out, you get a broken heart. What comes out of that will make you a better lover and partner the next time."

I've seen the latter quote attributed to Dunne across the Internet numerous times, but this was the first time I was able to attribute it to a substantial source.

Another oddity is that no photographer(s) are attributed to either picture.

I will edit this caption the minute I get more information.

Nicole Simpson would be 64 years old if Simpson hadn't murdered her.

Fuck mourning OJ Simpson. He was a football player. Nicole was a young woman with children who tried to get away.

Here come the journalists weighing in about OJ Simpson's "complicated history" -- it's not complicated. He killed his wife because she wouldn't take his abuse.
