"Just read Ellison's review of the original Star Wars, and it's fun to think how on-the-nose he was about most of his observations. It being a western, dressed up in the guise of science fiction, about its influences in Flash Gordon; the works. What was most entertaining about his review was "the dispensers of mass information" all proclaiming in unison that "entertainment is back", like it's year of our lord 2025." Sep 23, 2025 03:26AM

Antonin Artaud
“All writing is garbage. People who come out of nowhere to try and put into words any part of what goes on in their minds are pigs. ”
Antonin Artaud

Werner Herzog
“Taking a close look at - at what's around us there - there is some sort of a harmony. It is the harmony of... overwhelming and collective murder. And we in comparison to the articulate vileness and baseness and obscenity of all this jungle - Uh, we in comparison to that enormous articulation - we only sound and look like badly pronounced and half-finished sentences out of a stupid suburban... novel... a cheap novel. We have to become humble in front of this overwhelming misery and overwhelming fornication... overwhelming growth and overwhelming lack of order. Even the - the stars up here in the - in the sky look like a mess. There is no harmony in the universe. We have to get acquainted to this idea that there is no real harmony as we have conceived it. But when I say this, I say this all full of admiration for the jungle. It is not that I hate it, I love it. I love it very much. But I love it against my better judgment.”
Werner Herzog, Burden of Dreams

Alfred Hitchcock
“In many of the films now being made, there is very little cinema: they are mostly what I call 'photographs of people talking.' When we tell a story in cinema we should resort to dialogue only when it's impossible to do otherwise. I always try to tell a story in the cinematic way, through a succession of shots and bits of film in between.”
Alfred Hitchcock, Hitchcock/Truffaut

Werner Herzog
“The two men see pornographic pictures. Strangely coiled naked bodies, performing unchaste acts in groups, in hopeless configurations.”
Werner Herzog, The Twilight World

Werner Herzog
“Most details are factually correct; some are not. What was important to the author was something other than accuracy, some essence he thought he glimpsed when he encountered the protagonist of this story.”
Werner Herzog, The Twilight World
