I’ve Been Overdependent On Caffeine Recently I Don’t Know If My Heart Can Handle This One 😭

Watched this movie two days ago and I’m utterly obsessed.

Thinking about David Lean being the voice of the motorcyclist who says “Who are you? Who are you?” in Lawrence of Arabia. That is THE thesis statement of the film, and we literally hear it from its director. It adds a metatextual layer as well. No one, not, even the director, can nail down who exactly he is.

that about sums it up LOL

U2 are good regardless of what people say. If you look me in the eyes and say War is a bad album you either haven’t listened to it or are lying

“I’m learning to lie. I’m learning to be insincere.”

Becoming the Fly

This video was inspired by Kelly Eddington's words in her article:

"In my mind, late 80s Bono was a mysterious figure. He was nowhere near as accessible as he is today, and he came across as intelligent and even brooding when discussing the band’s rise to fame. He didn’t seem to belong to that decade. His long hair wasn’t teased and sprayed (well, not anymore). He didn’t sing about rock ‘n’ roll debauchery. He possessed an above-it-all purity and even dressed like a Depression-era preacher. Then he and his band disappeared for a while.

They surfaced briefly in 1990 with “Night And Day,” a gorgeous Cole Porter cover I loved immediately. It left me wanting more and made me curious. U2 seemed to be on a new sonic path with Bono’s sensual/tortured performance and that doom and gloom synth. The shadowy video seemed to be a message transmitted from the center of the band’s own dark chrysalis. 

And one year later, a black butterfly emerged".

Erwin Smith, by me. Finished? In progress? Not sure. Currently working on adding more dimension to my drawings. Feels like this is a good start.

Duane Michals photographed The Police during the album cover photo sessions for 'Synchronicity', in 1983.

there's something about deeming women simply biologically incapable of playing five sets, as they used to be deemed biologically incapable of running marathons, before giving them a chance to actually play five sets in the first place, and then using five set tennis — something only men have been given the opportunity to partake in and test themselves in and practice and train for — as the benchmark for what qualifies as good, chatrier night session worthy tennis.
