This Office retrospective is killing me.
This is everything.
Richard Linklater's Nine-Year Itch: The Before Midnight Director on Revisiting (and Revising) the Past
“The major, major thing that Rick was onto with these movies was: ‘We don’t need anything except what it feels like to connect with another human being,’ ” says Hawke. “ ‘What that feels like. That feels magical.’ I remember Julie saying when we made the first one, ‘I think the movie needs to be funnier, you need to write more jokes.’ And Rick said to her, ‘I’ve been working with you for nine weeks. I find you absolutely and completely intriguing, beguiling, and hypnotic. If we can get the real essence of you in front of a camera and they can’t give a shit for two hours, then I’m not interested in them as an audience.’ She was like, ‘Okay, but it’s going to be bor-ing.’ ”
I doubt I’ll ever find a film - or set of films - that better grasp the intricacies of a relationship. None of that paper character bullshit. Here are a man and woman in 3D, with veins and hearts and lives.
Give me another “Before” in nine years’ time, please.

“Every time I look back to this photo, I feel uncomfortable — it haunts me. It’s as if they are saying to me, we are not a number — not only cheap labor and cheap lives. We are human beings like you. Our life is precious like yours, and our dreams are precious too.”

The Art of Browsing
“Is it possible that book browsing is already strange and unusual enough to be considered material for art?”
Claire Barliant on new art shows that focus on books: http://nyr.kr/Z7Jn5e
“Everyone agrees that the future of publishing is electronic, with words beamed to us instantaneously. But in that case, what will happen to all of the books beside the book—and the places that store them? When they’re gone, where will we randomly stumble on the knowledge we didn’t even know we wanted to know?”
Who knows? But wherever the stumble happens, I can already attest to not being about that life.
