Saul Bass made exactly one movie, and with his one shot he proceeded to make an insanely psychedelic science fiction thriller about ants in the Southwestern US developing a cross-species hive mind after an unspecified cosmic event.
Someone described this as "the 2001: A Space Odyssey of Ant Movies" and I think that description is apt

This movie rocks. I just recently saw it for the first time and I keep thinking about the beautiful control room. Iâm a little claustrophobic and a bit of a luddite but this room seduces me anyway. The set design is in the whole film is great. The fx are insane.
* I watched this almost back-to-back with Eraserhead for an accidental body horror double feature

This movie is bonkers. Part satire, part horror, part realist drama and set in 1930s Hollywood, The Day of the Locust follows Tod Hackettâa production illustratorâthrough chaotic and ill-fated scenarios centered around his love-interest Faye Greener (who is almost certainly an inspiration for Pearl).
Itâs got everything: female rage, cockfights, annoying children (who are ultimately a product of their parentâs negligence and a culture obsessed with spectacle to the point that they ignore real violence), gold digging, cowboys, cannibalism, and rioting.

Last Thursday, a meteor appeared in the night sky over Los Angeles. I stood in place for 30 seconds watching it blaze brilliant red and orange before fizzling out suddenly. The experience moved me immensely and filled me with a sense of hope that I hadnât felt in quite some time. I read later that it was a SpaceX satellite. I wish I hadnât.

There's something about a wet and humid early morning that heals my soul. It's like a free sound bath. Especially if you are lucky and have a little bit of thunder alongside.
