@steel8883 @realDonaldTrump Course he is still the president! Just because he lost the election doesn't mean he walks out of the office within 10 minutes of the final ballots being counted!

[Nick Sambides Jr. @NickSam2BDN]

@markcousinsfilm I'm not sure Donald Trump would ever be worth your efforts. You could aim higher. :-)

[Nick Sambides Jr. @NickSam2BDN]

@TheMarkSchipper @inkydec @markcousinsfilm Gore had a case. Trump just whines.

[Nick Sambides Jr. @NickSam2BDN]

@realDonaldTrump So pathetic.

“Nothing that I’ve seen regarding the election raises a legal issue that could succeed. There is just is nothing there,” Barry Richard, who represented Bush in the 2000 Florida recount, told @AP. https://t.co/R3h8Dy1KOk

@shaneflynn007 @BemusedSpartan @AdamInHTownTX @JoeBiden Nothing like a useless conspiracy theory. Thanks, bot.

An outbreak at the state prison in Windham has grown to 72 inmates. Story coming shortly.

@JZBleiberg God, that looks good. Here's what I made today

[Nick Sambides Jr. @NickSam2BDN]

@mikeshepherdME @PatCallaghan6 Pierce Brosnan was very good indeed. He kept that franchise alive. He deserves a lot more respect than he gets.

[Nick Sambides Jr. @NickSam2BDN]

@AlanShore51 @BradleyWhitford @Richard_Schiff No way. Respect, but no way.

Breaking now: Maine reinstates 14 day quarantine for some out-of-state visitors and delays reopening of bars and tasting rooms due to recent massive spike in coronavirus cases. Story coming soon.

@TheOldHollywood @markcousinsfilm I think this was taken before Brando broke his nose.

[Nick Sambides Jr. @NickSam2BDN]

@markcousinsfilm @criterionchannl Your eye is exceptional, though. I don't know if amateur is truly the word for your work except perhaps in the most limited sense of the term. The stills in EOOW were arresting, very good indeed.

[Nick Sambides Jr. @NickSam2BDN]

@markcousinsfilm I'm moving from Maine to a job in Connecticut. I am completing a circle that began 20 years ago. A woman's love, family, friends and the potential for better work are all motivations. I have to get myself to pack. Haven't yet today, but I'll do some before I sleep. Baby steps.

[Nick Sambides Jr. @NickSam2BDN]

@markcousinsfilm @criterionchannl I love photography and videography but I especially like seeing how Kubrick's training as a photographer served him so well again and again and again. Your use of landscapes in EOOW was lovely. How much still photography have you practiced? I gather you've definitely done some.

[Nick Sambides Jr. @NickSam2BDN]

@markcousinsfilm @criterionchannl I'm not at all a sketch artist or painter so I love that you made this connection. These Arts were vital to Welles and I love anything that leads people into the world of Film Production. My only regret, if you could call it that, is that more people didn't follow Kubrick's path.

[Nick Sambides Jr. @NickSam2BDN]

@markcousinsfilm @criterionchannl It's more than a fine personal essay film. It is first-rate Wellesian scholarship vital to keeping alive Welles' work. I hope to God you see this. There's a certain ecstasy in appreciating the work of an artist. I want you to be as happy and satisfied as you just made me. :-)

[Nick Sambides Jr. @NickSam2BDN]

@markcousinsfilm @criterionchannl I just saw this for the 2nd time. Magnificent! What a beautiful gift to and of Orson Welles that you have given us all! Thank you so much. I subscribed to Criterion just to watch this. I've read everything about him that I can get my hands on. This is totally unique and original.

[Nick Sambides Jr. @NickSam2BDN]

@wendymfontaine I would only be alarmed if you couldn't fit in them any more. :-)
