I found a decent frame for my Jacques Tati film poster at last. It’s big but looks pretty good on this wall.

A framed poster for the film Mon Oncle (directed by Jacques Tati) hanging on a wall.

“The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.”

Attributed to Alfred Hitchcock. The older I get the more I agree with this.


Listened to the Mubi podcast.

Legendary filmmaker Wim Wenders returns to the show to tell host Rico Gagliano about his Cannes-winning, Oscar-nominated PERFECT DAYS—the story of a Tokyo toilet cleaner who finds joy in routine. They also get into a few of Wenders’s favorite things: Japan, travel, Nina Simone, and having time on his hands

Beautiful film.

I like the way micro.blog can bring in my Letterboxd RSS feed but I don’t like the large poster images that get posted. Just grabbing the url from Letterboxd and going manual might be the best way forward if I want things to look the way I want.
