Must See
Old Favorites >> Basquiat
I went through a major Basquiat obsession in about ninth grade, to the point that I actually burned out on him, but I just watched the trailer for this upcoming documentary on him, and I can’t wait to see it! …I guess it’s been long enough.
Also, if you haven’t seen this Basquiat movie, you definitely should, despite the mixed critical response and slightly skewed portrayal of the artist. It’s still good.
Must See
Fantastic Mr. Fox
I don’t know how I haven’t seen Fantastic Mr. Fox, but seeing this book and video about the making of it reconfirms for me the urgency with which I need to see it. The set work seems amazing!
Seriously, a world created by the minds of Roald Dahl and Wes Anderson?? It’s like a dream come true. I’m feeling lamer by the minute for not having seen it yet.
Must See
Crazy Heart
I can’t get over how much I loved Crazy Heart. It’s understated, subtle, touching, and poignant. I actually rewatched the trailer AFTER I saw the movie, just to sort of, relive it for a minute.
And now I’m in love with the soundtrack. The song in the background, The Weary Kind, by Ryan Bingham, is SO GOOD– even if you don’t care about watching the trailer, just listen to this song.
Must See
Two For the Road
I recently watched Two For the Road and couldn’t get enough of the styling and visuals– the colors, the outfits, the scenery, the cars, it’s all pretty much perfect. It’s the kind of movie that makes you want to live IN it. Interestingly, Design*Sponge featured the movie on their “Living In” column, which shows you how to give your home the same style of the movie, as though you were… living in it. I absolutely love the feature. Below, the blog equivalent of a “retweet,” with images from their post, as well as more stills I grabbed off the netflix.
I love a good old document. And I love that there used to be passports for couples!
An awesome British racing green car and belted trench never hurt anyone’s look. Also notice plaid suitcase with leather trim.
Love the sneakers, they’re like my fave Bensimons! The preppy classic button-up + sweater doesn’t look so staid with cute sneaks + sexy hair.
A very pretty picnic.
Red, white, and blue = a classic combo. Those American flag makers knew what they were doing. Although, they probably just copied the French and British. Also, why can’t cars still be painted with these one-tone pure lacquer colors? Rather than like, pearlescent glittery colors?
I even like the canvas bag in the foreground with the leather straps.
