Here's a montage of my work.

Wow.

@JosephKahn 黒澤明の映画は録音状態が悪くて日本語のセリフが聞き取れない事が多い。日本語の字幕もないので内容が分からない事も多い。椿三十郎という映画を見たがセリフが聞き取れず、イライラした。字幕、吹き替えのある外国の方で評価が高いのは当然。

18 of the last 20 Mark Ruffalo movies were not shot in Los Angeles. Not the guy to talk about California film industry jobs. Undeniably great actor though.

Mexico City is cosmopolitizing. Are there poor areas? Sure. Plenty of slums in American cities too. But the difference is Mexico City is expanding its gentrification into the slums, while in America the slums move into the once gentrified areas.

[Joseph Kahn @JosephKahn]

Been in Mexico City for a week. There is less homeless here than Los Angeles. Cleaner too.

[Joseph Kahn @JosephKahn]

@SolovinoE Frankly that is the story of every giant industrializing city in the world. Historical injustices in racial zoning and development is a big topic on the left here.

[Joseph Kahn @JosephKahn]

@Godard_ofwar You can see Kubrick's influence in many American filmmakers from Fincher to Spielberg to Nolan (he has a British accent but that dude is American). You don't really see Kurosawa in many popular Japanese filmmakers (unless through Star Wars).

[Joseph Kahn @JosephKahn]

Akira Kurosawa is one of the best filmmakers in history. Distinctive style. Yet why don't any other Japanese filmmakers take his mantle? Why don't they embrace his aesthetics and techniques? Western filmmakers do. Is he not loved in Japan? Where is the new Japanese Kurosawa?

@ldiociesLeftism Mexico City is huge but the cosmopolitan parts of it are impressive.

[Joseph Kahn @JosephKahn]

@Drakho76 We slums in the USA too. Visit Appalachia or Detroit. If the point is Mexico City keeps its tourist areas clean, then it is doing a better job than Hollywood.

[Joseph Kahn @JosephKahn]

@Bxn3332 Why?

[Joseph Kahn @JosephKahn]

@NolteNC What kind of black magic is this?

[Joseph Kahn @JosephKahn]

@ScottBalkum Chicago is more dangerous.

[Joseph Kahn @JosephKahn]

@JonathanGuito Because you're looking at comedy as a formula. Adam West's performance is funny as fuck.

[Joseph Kahn @JosephKahn]

The irony about the SNL comedy of the late 70s is that I don't think many of those skits are funny anymore. They feel like affected cool kids. However the stuff they felt was dated like Batman and Brady Bunch are still genuinely funny.

[Joseph Kahn @JosephKahn]

@MuseZack @TerwillikerInst Comedy in the 60s was pretty great.

[Joseph Kahn @JosephKahn]

Yes. Very yes.

[Matt Reeves @mattreevesLA]

Because the level of precision and control over the image you have shooting digitally is indispensable. You know exactly what you are getting. The film out process and choice of lenses allows you to bring a more organic, analog quality back to what you’ve shot. A beautiful, and carefully developed imperfection.

[Joseph Kahn @JosephKahn]

I wonder how studio executives give Martin Scorsese notes.

[Joseph Kahn @JosephKahn]

Accusation that Asians just study all the time doesn't apply to me. I stopped reading books senior year high school. Not just English books but chemistry and physics. Just winged it, because I wanted to read Michael Crichton novels and study movies. In retrospect probably a mistake because I'm of the age I could have invented Google and been a billionaire.
