Text from interview ...I’m kind of quoting Bernard Stiegler here, French philosopher. We could deploy them without any sort of personal attachment. We deploy them with the sort of detachment of the philosopher, the detachment of, “Ah, yes, you could make this case.” And in some ways, this is different than simply performativity or it leads you maybe to a certain sort of performativity, because then you’re not even deciding what you think about the thing, you’re deciding, Which critic do I want to be today? Which critic feels like the right critic? Do I want to make the cynical read on this? Or do I want to make the rehabilitative read?

A scene of Cristina Ricci tap dancing in a bowling alley. Serene and touching in a very fragile way
A collage of the opening sequence in Seconds (1966). Every image is an extreme close up of a facial feature incredibly skewed, doubled up, or distended. It's like a very serious version of a mid-90s video game ad.

Still from Death Race 2000 (1975) of Stallone's character Machine Gun Joe eating whip cream or pudding or something like that with his fingers like an absolute animal.
My premier pro preview window where I have artfully inserted a low poly hand flipping off the dad from Fallout 3. It looks GREAT.

A screenshot of the Case of the Golden Idol which prominently features a man spontaneously combusting. He had it coming I'm sure.
Text - When you play a game you can take notes, but I prefer to let the game impress its virtues and mistakes on me, and record them with screenshots. It’s good to take a great deal of time over pottering through the game, and it’s also good to go out of your way to try to break the game or do what you suspect the game doesn’t want or expect you to do, since those things wrench open the hood and let you see the engine working inside. If you do what the game developers expect you to do the experience is sometimes streamlined in a soulless manner, and you start to feel like you fell into the Small World ride at Disneyland, which is a lonely experience sometimes accompanied by the feeling you want to hurl into a dustbin.

Text from Catching the Big Fish - One day, still very early in the process, I was talking to Laura Dern and learned that her now husband, Ben Harper, is from the Inland Empire in Los Angeles. We were talking along, and she mentioned that. I don’t know when it popped up, but I said, “That is the title of this film.” I knew nothing about the film at the time. But I wanted to call it INLAND EMPIRE. My parents have a log cabin up in Montana. And my brother, cleaning up there one day, found a scrapbook behind a dresser. He sent it to me, because it was my little scrapbook from when I was five years old, from when I lived in Spokane, Washington. I opened up this scrapbook, and the first picture in it was an aerial view of Spokane. And underneath it said, “Inland Empire.” So I figured I was on the right track.
Image is of text from article - Metal Gear Solid 3 is about hunting. And eating. It’s a game where you lie in the grass with your knife out and watch the pale green blades flatten in the distance, a rustling of something moving ever closer. You must not be found. You have to hold still for long stretches, the enemy’s footfalls incidentally retreating while you think about dinner. While the snake comes within your arm’s reach. It’s also about the low ache of human bones and how a big man’s body can break and bruise inside, with deceptive ease. How I have to fix it, with splint and styptic. This big, big man, this military machine—and it’s me who has to dig out the slugs and sew up the holes. It’s about how he wants his mama.

Text from an a Grantland article called "‘Mortal Kombat II’ 20 Years Later: An Undeniable Character Ranking" https://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/mortal-kombat-ii-20-years-later-an-undeniable-character-ranking/ 6. Shang Tsung Cumulative Fighter Score: 63/100 You had to have a motherfriggin’ PhD to be able to remember all the shape-shifting and whatnot that Shang Tsung could do. Playing with him was always a better idea than it was ever an actual wise strategy. Mostly, you’d just end up spending half the match trying to turn into Scorpion or whomever. I’m not sure how he scored so high here. Probably just off reputation. (I had the boys rank the MKII fighters just to see how their brains worked. Boy B ranked Shang Tsung no. 1. I said, “Shang Tsung is your favorite?” He said, “No, sir.” I said, “Then why do you have him no. 1?” He said, “He’s not my favorite; he’s just the best fighter.” That’s the realest shit he ever said in his whole life.)
