One of the greatest, and most interesting actresses of recent times. Dalle was street scouted in the 80s to audition for the lead of Betty Blue, and impressed the director so much with her raw talent that she ended up playing Betty.
I recommend her performances in Betty Blue, Night on Earth, and Trouble Every Day. All vastly different, but she's incredibly compelling in all three. There's a rawness and realness to everything she does, and she's never afraid to go to the darkest, craziest, and ugliest places. Also, her interviews are wild (most can be found for free on YouTube or on the Criterion Channel).

betty gilpin is unstoppable. unflappable. incredible. simply the best. the supporting cast is also nothing to sneeze at (god bless character actress margo martindale). and damon lindelof delivers with a timely commentary on (of all things) spirituality, faith, magic, and "artificial intelligence."

been diving into her work more and more lately and just feel that she’s so overlooked for how many great projects she’s been in. captivated by her every time she's on screen.

Poet & songwriter best known as the frontman of “Silver Jews,“ and the lesser known “Purple Mountains,“ Berman has a way of exploring the beauty in the darker aspects of life. Berman tragically took his in 2019. He had such a special way with words both as a poet and a songwriter. My favorite song of his, “Famous Eyes” is linked above.

Founded in 1995, Broadcast was an English band that drew influences from 60s psychedelia, electronic, and experimental music. Following the death of their lead singer in 2011, Broadcast has found a new life and a cult following due to the mystery surrounding the band. I’ve linked my favorite album, Tender Buttons above.

Due to the involvement of the US Military Sponsoring SXSW, many bands and artists have opted to pull out of SXSW as protest for the ongoing genocide and Ethnic Cleansing in Palestine. I’m very proud of my friends from Perfectly Imperfect and Baby’s All Right for dropping out of SXSW, and for standing in solidarity with the people of Palestine. Free Palestine 🍉
