Mocking up the cover. Thoughts? Looking to keep it simple. Clean.

@CultureCrave Not English enough/too independent.

@AVARY Very tragic loss.

@TomCruise TC, you're a credit to your industry. That honorary Oscar is deserved many times over.

[Gregg Toland: Life Behind the Camera @TolandBook]

@spclsmthin MM certainly did not need anything additional to catch the eye.

@AVARY A far better flex would be having a room with that wallpaper.

@Criterion Painful to watch even a brief clip of this beautiful widescreen film savagely cropped like this.

"At least most critics agree that one of the chief inspirations for the look of noir is Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane (1941), with its use of dark shadows, odd camera angles and point-of-view shots."

@fillerinsideme @Uchimamalul Directors don't block because actors won't hit marks.

@Uchimamalul Maybe when actors re-learn how to hit marks.

@x_raoul_x @JosephKahn If you want inexpensive, go to Subway. If you want excellence, go to Canters or Langers (or dip into Philippe’s).

@WilliCaroline @JosephKahn @brentsdeli @artsdeli Stopped in at Art’s last time in LA. Expensive, but solid.

@BradRTorgersen Cinema began as an offshoot of photography.
It was image-based.
Television is an offshoot of radio.
It was audio-based.
Today’s “cinema” is mostly controlled by TV people.
