"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

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

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“If one wanted to crush and destroy a man entirely, to mete out to him the most terrible punishment ... all one would have to do would be to make him do work that was completely and utterly devoid of usefulness and meaning.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky

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

Arkady Strugatsky
“intelligence is the ability of a living creature to perform pointless or unnatural acts.”
Arkady Strugatsky, Roadside Picnic

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
