If you happened to watch the HBOMax-released crime thriller No Sudden Move, then you’ve seen it too. Grunnleggende strekninger for løpere – runmx halotestin scandic øren på $124 ($̶2̶3̶2̶). Whether it was the low-budget craftiness of his Palme d’Or-winning breakout, Sex Lies and Videotape-the extreme embrace of color in Traffic, or the rebellious iPhone-as-cinema-camera streak Soderbergh has found a way to tell an engaging story while experimenting with camera gear.Īlthough Soderbergh has switched back to large format digital cameras-but he hasn’t stopped fiddling with the form. I loved them.For decades now, Steven Soderbergh has been subverting the standards of American film production. I don’t like lists (AND YES, I KNOW THIS IS BASICALLY A LIST POST, SHUDDUP) but I think everyone should have heads’ up on these things I watched. I can’t even fathom.īut in that time, I watched some really wonderful things. So many friends have died this last year, so many people I know, and so much senseless agony beyond COVID. Never.Īnd I miss doing my podcast so very much. I’m never happier than when I’m doing research and writing on Korean cinema. I don’t have the same support system I used to. My day job is stressful and I’m incredibly lonely and isolated everyday. I don’t get paid to write like I did when I was in the US. Simple: if I want to do what I love (writing about Korean classic cinema, Korean film history, gender in Korean classic films), I have to have a roof over my head, health insurance and food for my cat and, I suppose, myself. You have TWO Master’s Degrees? From UCLA? Why are you teaching English to really young children? I am always the oldest person when I meet people (by a solid amount of years) and I am regularly confronted with the statement: WAIT. It is hard to be here with only the barest amounts of contact from my friends at home. But my depression has been the worst I have ever experienced. This has certainly been a shitty year in my life. These were things that should always have been options. It was only hard to do because…disabled people? Who? Single parents? Who? The concept that these remote options might disappear “when the pandemic does” is also ridiculous. Note- it wasn’t hard to provide these things. Complain as much as you like about Zoom and washing your vegetables, but the expansion of delivery services, remote learning, working and more have opened doors that many disabled people have been knocking on for years. People have learned how to provide greater access to workplaces, media/entertainment and everyday life-needs (shopping, medical needs, etc). Even to manage the morons who can’t seem to fathom that some positive changes have come out of this relentless non-stop blast-beat of tragedy. But many of us will be better equipped to deal with it. disappear.ĭo I think that will change in 2022? Naw. Everything seems to have had some kind of aftertaste or leftover on the plate that just. There’s nothing about this year that has gone off without a hitch. Which could have been the fine dust, could have been the weather, but it just seemed to reflect 2021 perfectly. Like Seoul was really foggy a few days ago. Which might be why I thought that this song was actually called “A Pretty Good Year” not a “A Very Good Year.” I was trying to come up with some clever title that wasn’t simply “Hi! These are the media texts that got me through 2021…barely.”Įverything has taken on a dulled haze to it.
