“Bond has an inconsolable part of him. He’s lost his parents, there’s a rage in there, a slight detachment, a distance, and that’s what makes him exciting an dangerous, and Daniel [Craig] has that too. There’s a darkness in there, something he’s sitting on, which is really powerful and sets him aside from other people. He said to me, when we were doing “Skyfall” and we were having a discussion about something or other in Istanbul, ‘Listen, I’m trying to play him until he’s burning up. I’m trying to play this man as if he’s burning up inside.’ I always loved that description, and Daniel is one of the few actors capable of doing that.”

I AM attempting to read at least four books this weekend and that IS ridiculous but alas, here we are.

ppl really undermine the affects of Jay's death like she has 7 freaking children and 3 father's who it would impact most immediately, dorris and Earnest grew up without a mum, Louis was going solo that's when he needed her, daisy and Phoebe were in those teenage ages with the attitude and parent hatin, imagine the regret and she and Daniel were only married a couple of years he wasn't ready to see her go and become a single dad and Freddie won't even remember his grandma. She doesn't have a life update up there she probably thinks one direction came back from break and that Felicity is alive and that Phoebe isn't pregnant and that lucky exist

My ★★★½ review of Empire of Light on Letterboxd https://boxd.it/52iV31

I’ve never seen such a disparity of quality between a film’s script and its production. Sam Mendes’ screenplay delivers multiple moments of toe-curling cringe in its superficial and heavy-handed portrayal of Very Important Topics like The Mental Health and The Racism. Meanwhile master craftsmen like lead actor Olivia Colman, cinematographer Roger Deakins, and composers Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross use all their skills to miraculously make Empire Of Light not only watchable but actually quite moving. For fans of ‘Cinema Paradiso’

[A WEIRD TANGENT: I like to think that this takes place in the same universe as Berberian Sound Studio but ten years later after Toby Jones' Gilderoy got his head straight and retrained as a projectionist. Fun fact, when BSS was adapted for a stage production in 2019 Gilderoy was played by Tom Brooke (Neil). Empire Of Light is very much the Spiderman: No Way Home of the Berberian Sound Studio franchise.]

for the pile…

I started The Fruit Hunters through the library (audio) but I liked it too much. A closer reading is necessary!

I’ve also read Roger Deakin’s Waterlog this year. So, excited for this one… trees!!

Animal Collective Bring Joy to SummerStage on Tuesday Night

Animal Collective – SummerStage – August 30, 2022

Animal Collective appear to have strange powers. I’m not the first to say they’re a spiritual and sonic journey, that there is something meditative in the quartet’s signature sound. But on a Tuesday night in Central Park, the band held off a much-discussed torrential downpour until the set’s very last song. Coincidence? Probably. And yet, dancing in the rain to “The Purple Bottle” (Feels, 2005), I’m not not convinced it was their doing. 

Coming off the February release of Time Skiffs, the band’s first album since 2016, AnCo delivered a beautiful set that plumbed the band’s decades of adventurous experimental music, while heavily featuring the new record. “Dragon Slayer,” off Time Skiffs, floated gently into form mid-set, Dave Portner/Avey Tare’s vocals blossoming and Noah Lennox/Panda Bear’s drums effortlessly keeping pace. Animal Collective are masters at blending not only form but also feeling. In the great tradition of psychedelia, they have a knack for making your brain feel like it’s become a liquid light show. On “We Go Back,” also off Time Skiffs, the loop-like keys and lyrics make for a poppy, near-manic chorus that melts and distorts at song’s end: “I stood for a moment and the sun went down / I got sad for the sun ’cause I would get lonely.” And “Car Keys” is a new classic, total jam-inspired AnCo canon.

The band played some excellent deeper cuts, too. “Applesauce,” a wacky song that Portner once said was simply based on eating fruit, from 2012’s Centipede Hz, and “Chores,” off my favorite, 2007’s Strawberry Jam, were highlights. But who am I kidding: Nothing can really beat hearing “Bluish” (Merriweather Post Pavillion, 2009) live, a Beach Boys–on-mushrooms love song that sends my heart near-bursting. “I’m getting lost in your curls / I’m drawing pictures on your skin / So soft it twirls.”As the whole of the SummerStage crowd lost its collective mind at show’s end to “The Purple Bottle,” I got emotional. When pleasure and joy can seem increasingly distant these days, it’s a salve to know we have this and each other. Such is the power of Animal Collective, and I’m grateful. —Rachel Brody | @RachelCBrody
