If you love someone remove them from the pedestal which imprisons them and denies the fullness of their humanity. Allow them to be imperfect and assure them that their so called imperfection is also a reflection of the divine.

The reason comedians are some of the most intelligent people to ever exist is because they have the pattern recognition of scientists, they can delve into philosophical rants but what’s truly amazing is their ability to explain this into the simplest terms

Here is another wonderful account I enjoy.

One that reminds people that Western civilization was built through books and the kind of education that teaches children to see the world with wonder.

The real reason you can’t remake Possession is that it’s an allegory for the Cold War and needs a geopolitically hostile Western locale to work

And you absolutely must have at least some exposure to Hitchcock, Lang, Ford, Hawks, Carol Reed, Kubrick, Billy Wilder, Lubitsch, Fellini etc. You must have seen at least a handful of pre-code movies, classic 40s noirs, 50s westerns, screwball comedies.

Can - Vitamin C

A relentless warning about losing your spark, powered by the octopoid brilliance of Jaki. Slightly unhinged, utterly unstoppable; Eurofunkadelia for the mind and body alike.

Brian De Palma on why Al Pacino is one of the "Unusual" actors of the generation & how to direct him:

"Al Pacino is one of the unusual actors of this generation. He keeps going back to the stage; that is what actors should do. Movie acting is a form of acting, but to really hone your skills, you really should go back on the stage where you have a certain amount of time to mould and create your character, and that’s what makes him the great actor that he is.

He’s always going back to the stage, he’s always testing himself and expanding what he can do, he’s very curious, he likes to work with different people to get different input, and plus he’s got a great sense of humour.

Al worked with all kinds of directors in all kinds of different forms, he’s kind of self-contained, he’s one of those great actors that you sort of let them do what they do and try to get the cables out of their way and watch what they do, and figure out a way to maximise what they’re doing with the placement of the camera."

Jon Hamm on "Man Bites Dog" (1992):

"'Man Bites Dog' (1992) is a very, very, weird movie that I saw in the cinema in the ’90s. It is… I hate to keep using this word prescient, but this is about media and manipulation.

If a dog bites a man, then that’s not a story, but if a man bites a dog, that’s a story. That’s what this is. It predates our fascination with reality TV and all those things."

Do you have any idea the absolute hellscape we are entering?

[North Texas Weather Center @ntexasweather]

This is INSANE- The storm heading for North Texas and DFW is so massive and powerful it is producing lightning up to 50 MILES away from the actual storm, clear skies but still not safe!

It is also producing 3in hail and a tornado!

Be prepared!!!
