Been reading a lot lately, somehow more now that I'm a parent, and can't keep track of everything, so here's my attempt to do so

If you're on here arguing this isn't a Nazi salute, do it in front of your boss today and let me know how the conversation with HR goes

making this into one of those scratch off posters as my 2025 goal

Weird choice to end 2024/begin 2026, but maybe the new year is time for existential dread?

But, recency bias aside, I keep thinking about Orbital. Just a profoundly beautiful read that I think it's my favorite read of the last year

Add on Nolan's focus on stories that explore leaving your family to pursue your own dreams, and it's a fit that's too on the nose in some respects, but I'm so pumped

[Mike Milillo @MrMilillo]

If you're interested in reading it before the film releases, get this translation. Here's my pitch on why it's the best:

[Mike Milillo @MrMilillo]

In terms of modern day equivalents, Nolan's films are a pretty good comparison point: commercially successful, but seeking to offer commentary on the world. One of a few directors whose filmographies fit the bill really well

A great way to understand contrast and its impact on cinematography is to view shots you like in black and white.
I know photographers and DPs who monitor their images this way when shooting - it helps focus on light and composition without the distraction of color.
Sometimes, when I’m color grading or editing my photos, I start in black and white to get the ratios between light and shadow right before reintroducing color.
I’ve never come across a film I like aesthetically that doesn’t look just as good (or sometimes even better) in monochrome - If it works in black and white, it’s almost guaranteed to look good in color.
