Queer by luca guadagnino

(maybe spoilers!$) I saw this movie last night. I wasn’t expecting surrealist cinema with this one so it surprised me in a really pleasent way. Luca really knows how to move the camera and even tho it wasn’t as flashy as challengers it’s amazing how his hand guides you through the scenes. in a movie with a lot of confusing scenes and weird symbolic, oniric secuences you never feel abandoned. I liked the theme of becoming one with someone else. and how that is a spiritual pursuit in a way. it’s also trying to say that we are all ready one with everybody and the universe, but very subtly. Like with all good surrealist art, dreams and trips have real power and meaning, and even tho I didnt understand everything I think in these type of movies is better to just experience it like a dream. i have never read anything by boroughs or the beat generation but I know about the bc they lived in my city in the 50s. shoutout México city. And I know that boroughs killed his Mexican wife here. Now I really want to read the novel or something by him but there’s to much shit to read. Overall a good experience and a good movie. Recommended if you like weird but beautiful movies!!!!!

just finished “Queer”

The unrealistic visuals and the slightly artificial appearance of the atmosphere didn't click with me at the start, but the more l watch, the more I understand that it was more of a choice, the purpose behind it, and what it really reflects. This is about desperation, confusion, addiction, obsession, and the big gap between reality and both delusion and illusion, and that’s where the visuals made sense.. Also, it is really hard to break free from what you've been seen through as an artist, especially for a big one like Luca; he kind of created his own print but still made it with new and different approaches and still nailed if that makes sense. ps; Daniel is such a gift

Summer of 85 (2020)

A queer romance from france. It’s a mix of ‘Call Me By Your Name’ and ‘Saltburn’, although a lot better than the latter one. It’s a heartfelt and tragic story about young and queer love and about finding oneself through others and amidst chaos and a whirlwind of emotions.

Land of Talk - Cloak and Cipher

While Land of Talk, the project of singer and guitarist Elizabeth Powell, has not made a bad song, 2010’s Cloak and Cipher is my favorite album from their catalogue. I’ve found that the coolest bands defy genre conventions and that’s true in Land of Talk’s case. Is it Indie Rock? Is it Emo? Who gives a shit. Quarry Hymns is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard and I listen to a lot of music. They’re also flawless live.

Eric Weinstein’s “The Portal”

Eric Weinstein might be the smartest person with a podcast. I’m really not a podcast person (too many people think their voices need to be heard) but the sheer range of topics he can cover with authority is out of control. He’s a polymath in the truest sense. Guests include Werner Herzog, Bret Easton Ellis, Andrew Yang, Ashley Matthews (aka pornstar Riley Reid), Kai Lenny, Sir Roger Penrose… the list goes on. My favorites are #17 with Anna Khachiyan of Red Scare and #27 with Daniel Schmachtenberger, a “neurohacker” you’ve certainly never heard of but trust me here.

C’H’C’M’

Hands down the best store in New York and nowhere else comes close. It’s tucked away on Bond Street in SoHo and its owner, Sweetu Patel, keeps it stocked with a perfect mix of wardrobe essentials. He also designs a flawless house brand. It’s an insider’s store. There’s nothing fussy or trendy to find here. It’s clean, it’s simple, and it’s rare that 90% of a store’s stock calls one’s name but C’H’C’M does just that. Plus, there’s always someone well-dressed perusing the shop’s wares and if that’s not a marker that you’re in the right place, I’m not sure what is.
