Bored with violence against women as a plot device in film? Here's my interview with @agnesfilms "creating a female-centric thriller without portraying women as victims." #indiefilm#Womeninfilm https://t.co/nYp4LT6uku
MOULIN ROUGE! was released 25 years ago today.
Nicole Kidman wore a diamond necklace in the film that was reportedly worth around $1 million at the time, making it one of the most expensive pieces of jewelry ever created for a movie production.
We are thrilled to announce our acquisition of Georgia Bernstein's debut feature, fresh off a buzzy Sundance premiere - NIGHT NURSE.
The psychosexual thriller will hit theaters July 10.
Yesterday was a very special day at The Strand, as we unveiled Fred Bass Way, named in honor of our second generation owner. Thank you to everyone celebrated with us and especially those who made this day possible!
DAILY GUT HEALTH PROTOCOL 🔥
As a physician, I’ve seen how small consistent habits create the biggest changes in gut health and energy.
Here’s a simple 5-step routine I recommend:
☀️ Morning – Reset Your Rhythm
Step outside for 10+ minutes of direct sunlight. The natural light sets your circadian clock and helps synchronize sleep–wake cycles and hormonal patterns. Aim for outdoor light exposure within 1 hour of awakening.
🥗 Midday – Nourish Your Microbiome
Add a serving of fermented foods (kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir) to lunch for gut microbiome support. Kimchi and sauerkraut also contain prebiotics that nurture gut health.
🥣 Afternoon – Feed the Good Bacteria
Enjoy cooled resistant starch, like cold potato or rice. Bacteria convert resistant starch to short-chain fatty acids that have anti-inflammatory benefits for your colon.
🍽️ Evening – Give Your Gut Rest
Finish eating at least 3 hours before bed to shift the focus of your cells away from processing food and toward cellular reopair.
🏃♀️ After Dinner – Gentle Movement
Take a 10-minute slow walk. Excellent for blood sugar and gut motility.
Small daily actions. Powerful results over time.
Which one are you already doing? 👇

Squats = brainpower! 🏋️♂️🧠
Sitting for 20 minutes straight is a silent drain on your executive function. But here's the good news:
A 2023 study in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that one minute of half-squats every 20 minutes rescues cerebral blood flow from the "sedentary slump." It re-oxygenates the prefrontal cortex, the seat of your focus and decision-making.
The Result of a 60-second "Interrupt":
🧠 Preserved blood flow to the brain.
⚡️ Sharpened executive function.
📈 Spiked concentration levels.
📉 Reduced mid-day mental fatigue.
Action plan:
The 20/1 Protocol: Set a timer for 20 minutes of focused work. When it pings, drop into 10-12 controlled half-squats. It’s the cheapest 'nootropic you'll find.
