Paul Thomas Anderson makes first foray into docu with 'Junun'

The reviews of Paul Thomas Anderson's Junun have been respectful but not enthusiastic. This did not stop me from watching it. Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood stars in it, so I know that even if it turns out to be terrible, I still have Greenwood to listen to. But the film is not about him, and he barely says a word.

Junun, an alternate spelling of "junoon," which means "mania," or "the madness of love" is a decent, stylishly packaged music-themed doc, but it's not that great. It had its worldwide debut at the New York Film Festival, last week, and is currently streaming on MUBI, which charges $4.99 a month (or $39.99 a year) for access to a library of hand-selected flicks. Check out the trailer below.

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
