I think they're mostly bad these days (IE probably about 24 hours after the first one) but any good that's in them in largely due to Bruno Ganz.

what get's me with the meme game is white people who seem to exclusively post memes of black people pulling incredulous faces or whatever, if I was black I'd be saying: what's yr game, arsehole?

Harold Wilson's REDACTED. Thought she'd died years ago tbh. RIP Bruno btw.

Call, the use of black person reaction .gifs by whites has been called ‘digital blackface’ for some time now.
RIP Bruno Ganz, lots of Wings of Desire sad-angel grabs doing the rounds.

Crushed about Bruno Ganz. He really had one of the "warmest" faces of world cinema. And yes, I had a black woolen coat, grey scarf, and ponytail when I lived in a colder climate. No one got the reference.

Nordine's last public appearances (as far as I can tell) were spoken word duets via Skype during Laurie Anderson's 2015-16 tour. So he was cogent at age 95 (born in 1920). We should all be so lucky to have a long, impactful life.
I have everything that released on CD (through 2001). I think tonight I'll watch Der Himmel über Berlin for Ganz (way better than the English title), Sunday will be a Nordine marathon.

Didn't he just grab a random woman and shove his tongue down her throat
I remember reading that, or hearing that, somewhere
I haven't read the article
"It wasn't my choice to be kissed," Friedman stated in a 2005 interview with the Library of Congress.[3] "The guy just came over and grabbed!" she said, adding, "That man was very strong. I wasn't kissing him. He was kissing me."[3][10]

There was a lot of Lagerfeld in that recent documentary about fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez (Antonio Lopez 1970: Sex Fashion & Disco). Kind of interesting to see Lagerfeld young and dark-haired, doing regular things like hanging out at the beach. His look always suggested a certain heaviness of spirit though.

'La Dentellière (The Lacemaker)' was a very good character study, with Isabelle Huppert outstanding in an early role, and I've a lot of time for 'La Mort de Mario Ricci' too.
