I’m looking forward to the Caveh piece of you ever get it out. I’m guessing you were told to watch Close-Up, which is totally worth watching but I’m not sure that’s gonna be necessary to understanding Caveh’s “thing” unless you’re trying to actually talk about his filmmaking technique and position it within the history of documentary filmmaking or something.
Anyway what I’m saying is I want to read what you have to say about him so don’t put it off forever just because you have a list of Criterion films you’ve been told you “have” to watch first.
I pay my Criterion Channel fees as a tithe to cinema. Actually partaking in the sacraments is kind of beside the point. (I'll add "Close-Up" to the canon of movies I'll probably never watch, though.)
As Dasha wastes her time searching for the rocks of Christ in the former Yugoslavia, Cassidy gathers her power in Manhattan... there can only be one #TeamCass
“happy that all these people’s existence is a living nightmare”sounds like… what’s the word? schadenfreude? even more so if the people involved think their living nightmare makes them more fulfilled…

i guess without the lies about peter vack's family etc etc and the endless angelicism-baiting you're just totally mid 🤣🤣🤣🤣
do not even begin trying to conflate crumps midness with your vack family PR
one substack writer always tells the truth and the other always lies…
Lacan is the mediating middle between Crumps and Dasha
I'm thinking more "Dasha with a Thousand Faces"—Jung like it's 1949.
Hated everything about this, great piece and thank you
you hate people assembling community, staging and screening work together, albeit imperfectly?
hate is the sincerest form of flattery
Not at all, happy they all feel fulfilled, it's just this particular existence sounds like a living nightmare to me
Okay.

Great shit.
Dasha's Wake; Again.
