today on the streetcar the man sitting across from me ended what seemed like an important business call with “well, as snoopy would say: gawrsh!” then he frowned, looked at me, mouthed “goofy?”, I nodded, then he said “I’m just being goofy!” and hung up, and gave me a thumbs up
Wednesday, July 8: Join us at 279 Broome St for a very special YOUNG AMERICANS x DarkRoom Screening! We were delighted to be joined by legendary documentary filmmaker Alex Megaro to discuss his archival practice in his own work and films by the great Nathan Truesdell. See you there. 😎
When applying to edit weddings in college at some dinky studio as a summer job and using a short film I made which screened on PBS as my work sample: “Yeah it’s ok, but editing weddings isnt just putting one thing in front of the other.” I walked out.
S R Jones @aegisimmemorial.bsky.social · last mo.If you see this, please tell me the worst/most baffling bit of creative feedback you've ever recieved. Mine is still the time somebody told me my aliens had names that were too alien. Not that they were unpronounceable, just that they didn't sound enough like human names.
Eric Andre couldn't dream of making an interview this awkward

Sometimes people will play dumb about why Israel gets singled out as a uniquely bad actor. Our government having a uniquely extremist supportive relationship with theirs is part of the reason. The other part is that their officials post “I AM HITLER” on American social media all day long
Everybody needs to watch the documentary 'WTO/99'

Incredible doc. “There is no bad situation that can’t be made worse by the presence of a cop.” Bravo, Alex!
