she does still at least partly make a living this way again, but it's unclear to me how much she wants the link publicized? she did live in a monastery for a while which seems like it helped

i won't be in chicago on thursday (10/3) but if you will be, two of my favorite films are playing on different sides of town: Nowhere (1997, Gregg Araki) on DCP (i'm assuming the exciting new one) at Doc Films Trouble Every Day (2001, Claire Denis) on 35mm(!) at @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social 📽️

it's definitely a different thing, but I am so fascinated by the American Film Theatre project from the '70s en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America...

the Jonathan Pryce and Jason Robards stuff in the library was my favorite part. the child actors aren't bad per se (also interesting that 1 of Shawn Carson's 2 other acting credits is Tobe Hooper's The Funhouse), but then that scene is like oh two experienced actors being given actual character work

a tragedy that the captions on the version i was watching didn't work so i couldn't get a screenshot of Jonathan Pryce saying "we butter our plain bread with delicious pain" // a couple other quick notes here

A review of Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983)

caveat that i watched this in an absolutely wretched youtube upload that i think was screen recorded in a variable frame rate, this really looked liked shit to the point that i felt a little bad watch...

i didn't really care for the '83 Something Wicked This Way Comes adaptation despite director Jack Clayton, but the absolute -garbage- quality file i saw and my childhood fixation on the book likely got in the way of enjoying it. but i do need you to know Jonathan Pryce is low key kinda hot in it

a 30-something Jonathan Pryce, wearing a suit and top hat, holding a cane, and leading a parade of clowns playing brass instruments. he looks like a sexy magician, which unfortunately for me is one of my types

part of going on a date with a new person is accepting the possibility that it might not be super fun or just might not work out for whatever reason, as long as you're not being an asshole or a creep i think it's really okay
