This is one of the best stories I've ever heard in my life 😂

[I found this on Youtube… @doule_tom]

Beautiful clip of Brian Wilson and George Martin discussing ‘God Only Knows’. I love Brian’s enthusiasm when he thinks George is making the song better. ‘I can’t believe this is happening!’

“What a Life” by Scarlet Pleasure in Another Round is the perfect closing burst of joy, freedom, and release. That final scene? Pure cinema.

This might be one of the best descriptions of the film writing process I’ve ever come across, and it was written by James Cameron.

RIP David Lynch (1946-2025)

I am in utter disbelief right now... Can't accept that he is no more... I don't have the words to describe how I feel.

We will never ever see anyone like him ever again..

Here is his advice to youngsters.

Let’s remember David Lynch, explaining on why he told stories the way he did.

Today SE7EN re-releases in IMAX - in my opinion it's one of the greatest looking films ever made, so I dug up my copy of American Cinematographer to share some cool facts about how they shot it, and some behind the scenes.
For the film’s “color noir” aesthetic, DP Darius Khondji relied heavily on a lighting setup that combined Kino Flo banks and Chinese lanterns, along with many practicals on set. Khondji also frequently used flashlights as the primary light source - they were boosted in wattage with their beams bouncing off strategically placed cards to subtly illuminate key areas.
SE7EN was shot on film (S35) with Panavision Primo Lenses, a set that Darius positively referred to as "very modern lenses" - but Khondji also used a silver retention process to achieve the insanely rich contrast. By running the film stock through both color and black-and-white baths, he restored silver to the negative, resulting in deep blacks and desaturated colors. To further push it, Khondji often underexposed scenes, then used this processing technique to bring out contrast and texture, ensuring that shadows were inky and the remaining light popped off the screen.

“Seven is set in an unknown city, all wet, gritty, crumbling and dirty, with the only warmth in places of security—a police station, a home. I wanted to use the silver process and push the stock to get a feeling of grittiness…to go into the darkness.” - Darius Khondji, ASC, AFC

“I love to see the origins of light within a shot, so source lighting is one of the main techniques we used. I had the best experience I have ever had with a production designer on this film; the designer was Arthur Max. Most don’t think about lighting at all, but for me, the trio of the director, cinematographer, and production designer must collaborate fully.” - Darius Khondji, ASC, AFC
Few (if any) films have ever matched the rich timeless look of SE7EN. Many cite THE BATMAN as a modern-day comparison (I've done it), and while I absolutely love that film and how it looks - it's still just a respectful homage to SE7EN’s brilliance. Capturing this kind of image again feels almost impossible today, which is exactly why you should experience it in @IMAX.
