No wonder this episode won an international Emmy.

This is always funny! 😂🤣

Every time I rewatch The Sopranos, which I've done many times now, it's amazing how good it is. The density of the writing is incredible, everything works on 10 levels, the drama and the humor, the intricate plotting and the psychology of the characters, but also the symbolism and thematic ideas that are always being explored, and the constant subtext, the characters are always lying, to themselves or to other people, they always have a hidden agenda and more than one thing they're trying to do, and the tension and resonance between all those different levels working together make it endlessly engaging in the way that real literature is supposed to be but that almost no TV ever is. The "prestige" dramas on TV now are the grandchildren of what they're imitating, the golden age of prestige TV dramas, but when you switch from one of the recent shows- some of which are still good- back to something like Sopranos or The Wire or Deadwood, it's night and day, it's just a whole other level

@OnThisDayReds I'm sure this was the last time a liverpool/man utd game was a "untelevised 3pm Saturday kick off"

@fourfingerpod this version gets repeated on UK television often, it annoys me!
from memory, i recall Lloyd's character being much meaner an unlikeable in the extended cut.

Fifty times more important to WWF's modern history than the "DX Jeep Invasion" stuff. X-Pac made the nWo and WCW seem less cool within a 3 minute promo. He looked so motivated and full of fire you couldnt help buying what the "Kid" was selling.

[Wrestling News @WrestlingNewsCo]

On this date in 1998, X-Pac returned to WWE and joined DX. What a promo by Pac on WCW.

At 95, I'm still smokin'! 😝

I’ve learned two things:

Never waste a good cigar.
Never trust anyone who says you should ‘act your age.’ 😉👍🏻

People have this ridiculous idea that if art offends them that's bad thing. Not only that, they think the offending art should be banned or not made at all. Their brains have been fried by Disney movies and kiddie crap, they don't know what art is

[Mike Reiss @MikeReissWriter]

At my age every trip to the toilet is a Paul Thomas Anderson movie: "One Battle After Another" and "There Will Be Blood".

[Ben Stiller @BenStiller]

100 percent disagree. One of the great film making achievements. Warren Beatty is one of the best directors of the last 50 years. This is a beautifully made film on every level with one of the great Diane Keaton performances.

Any person wanting to make a love story that is both small and epic should watch this.

In this era of shorter attention spans REDS stands out as what long form storytelling used to be.

This used to be what a big screen movie was with our IMAX or special effects - and it is breathtaking.

The witnesses alone - real people from the era telling the story interspersed with the films scenes give of a depth and authenticity we never see anymore in studio movies.

See REDS!!

@PaulSenior1 always felt the same! it cant not remind me of the 96 cup final 😭

[John Carpenter @TheHorrorMaster]

As you may have heard, “The Thing” has been added to the Library of Congress. We made the movie to push against the edges of what we could pull off, and it carries that strain in its bones. Seeing it now treated with the same care and reverence we had making it means a great deal to me and everyone who brought it to life.

I especially want to remember TK Carter, who brought heart and humor into that desolate, frozen place and should be standing here with us today sharing in this recognition. 

Thank you to everyone who continues to keep it alive.

Oh man, not Catherine O’Hara.

One of the true comedy greats, hilarious across six decades, from SCTV to the Guest mockumentaries to Schitt’s Creek.

And most recently in The Studio, firing out lines like, “You’re not as dumb as you look. Which is not saying much considering how dumb you look.”

Gone way too soon.

[Nick de Semlyen @NickdeSemlyen]

Self-care tip: listen to Catherine O’Hara saying the word “baby” on Schitt’s Creek.

[Michael McKean @MJMcKean]

Only one Catherine O'Hara, and now none. Heartbreaking.

[Vincent D'Onofrio @vincentdonofrio]

When performing a @StanleyKubrick script, the lines are written by Stanley
in his films i believe.
Alot of it rewritten daily by him in his trailer or right on set.
In his chair, his typewriter in front of him.
All the dialogue is written in a very matter of fact way.
It's common in all his films.
Stanley was a very straight forward person.
And his very specific dialogue was the same.
As an actor working for him i quickly got the sense that he wanted every syllable, every bit of punctuation used and made relevant in the performances.
Every period present, every comma etc.
And no pauses.
Very rare when he would consider that a pause could help a delivery.
Yet i'd have to do this while still performing as the character i brought forward to help tell the story.
So the different performances/characters come across as individuals but the dialogue in every film no matter what extra choices the actor brings physically and emotionally has a similar tone a similar cadence and flatness for lack of a better term.

There is an uneasiness to it.
A subtle tone of uneasiness.
And simply because of his way of writing it and the actors total commitment in performing it exactly punctually the way wrote it.

A tone that stands out different than any other performed dialogue in other directors film.
A very particular uneasiness in the sound of it.
I'm not saying it's better but it somehow perfectly told the story in a way only Stanleys films could.
That uneasy tone is so prominent in all his films.
Although never spoken about i remember realizing a month or probably more in that this is definitely different and began to enjoy his writing so much.
Stanley never discussed this.
There was so many realizations i had while making that film with him.
All of them had to do with me learning that i'm just making a film, i'm making a Kubrick film and this is how it's done.
What a thrill it was to work with him as the 24 yr old actor i was then.
