these are my nemesis
really glad to have caught Love Jones at the Lightbox this afternoon, a movie i hadn’t seen in ages, but holds up beautifully, with a smart script, excellent grace notes, sexy, romantic, captivating performances. Larenz Tate and Nia Long, my goodness, hotness like that should be illegal.

got no space on your Mac? can't seem to find more files to delete? Chrome is likely your problem.

go to Chrome in your Applications folder, right-click and Show Package Contents, then navigate to Contents > Frameworks > Google Chrome Framework.framework > Versions

now delete the older versions folders and watch as you magically reclaim gigs and gigs of space, this week i've helped two people get around 100gb back

or just delete Chrome entirely and use a better browser, like Brave or Firefox

just sharing this clip from #Babylon in which Diego Calva plays a guy who says “of course i've done cocaine, i have cocaine all the time"
off to a double feature of the William Wellman silent Beggars of Life with live accompaniment, followed by the new 4K restoration of Orson Welles’ The Trial
went and saw Infinity Pool, which disappointed with an aesthetic indulgence that did nothing to enliven the potentially interesting exploration of imposter syndrome as a result of nepotism among the landed elite. Mia Goth and Alexander Skarsgård both great though. https://letterboxd.com/coreyatad/film/infinity-pool/
A review of Infinity Pool (2023)

Seems less an indictment of the wealthy than an expression of horror at ones imposter syndrome as the beneficiary of nepotism. Which is a fine idea for a movie, and the movie has moments of good fun, but it really never comes together, often feeling indulgent for the sake of it rather than because anything was being added. Really what kept me going through it was Mia Goth's unhinged performance opposite Skarsgard getting exactly the right amount of inner goofiness on the screen.

braved the snow to check out Ulrike Ottinger’s Freak Orlando. may or may not have hit the vape beforehand.
tonight’s plan: get baked, put on Lost Bullet then round out the night with the For All Mankind documentary in 4K
