If you work at Lockheed, Raytheon, BAE, Honeywell etc just know we fucked US hegemony, fucked the global economy, fucked the climate and fucked the entire international proletariat so your stupid asses could make $120k to hold a meter up to a weapon subsystem fuck you.
Donald Trump just took a billion dollars from the treasury, charged it to your kids, and made the IRS say it would never make him pay taxes again.
And Democrats are gonna run on “kitchen table issues” instead of “kill all of these marauding parasites”
Hot Rod was shot on 35mm with a $25M budget shot by a DP who had been making features for 25 years. I get the feeling of not wanting to be a cranky old man about young talent, but the thing holding kids back is that we gutted the infrastructure chasing tentpoles.
When Werner Herzog said the best film school is to learn how to do carpentry or pick a lock, art school brained cinephiles thought it was a sphinxian riddle. When he clarified that you can learn how to work a camera in one day but need to learn about life they all felt wounded.

Orson Welles with the highly unusual move of having it written into his contract that Citizen Kane be a B&W film, thus preventing Ted Turner from releasing a colorized version 45 years later; just outfoxing people decades in advance, no one ever at his level
as a ~2020 essential worker~ the way ppl talk about this “quarantine” has always cracked me up. y'all were not held captive, you were at my job harassing me!
This is true about a lot of IRA stuff. "Come out ye Black and Tans" has a verse accusing the Brits of only fighting helpless natives, followed by a chorus w/ the line "show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders." Did you guys not read up on what they did in Flanders?
I blame the parents. A part of childhood should be spent watching your dad's favorite violent movies & suffering through your mom's favorite songs in the car. That's how a living cultural memory is transmitted -- not via a perpetual bubble of age-appropriate content.
