NYC, we gotta keep outside summer going. Use all our new Knicks projectors to play World Cup matches on a random Tuesday. Have Spike Lee movie marathons on the side of your building.

A trillionair, yet his name does not appear on a single school, university, library, museum wing, hospital, stadium, arena, airport, or endowed chairs. What a colossal waste of a human lifetime.
@TheTartanScarf The best!! Try Rick’s 11A for the best pancakes while you’re here. Total hole in the wall (it’s the size of a closet) but Rick is great
James Dolan needs to release this statement today:
“We are moving the 5 Seconds of Summer concert Saturday to accommodate a Game 5 Knicks watch party inside MSG.”
Get it done. 5 Seconds of Summer nowhere near sold out. MSG will be pandemonium for the Knicks. Make the call.

Kane Parsons breaks down the inspiration behind the outdoor shots in #Backrooms and explains how they were just as eerie as the film’s liminal spaces:
"The outside world stuff, some of the inspirations we talked about were 'One Hour Photo,' 'Better Call Saul,' 'Breaking Bad' — that look. When we were doing sky replacements, we used some 'Pluribus' references, a little more California, a little more South. We are actually shooting up in Vancouver, so slightly different clouds and whatnot. We did a lot of sky replacements, and it was very deliberate to get that — I won’t outright say that feeling of unreality, because I don’t want to imply anything narrative — it’s more of an artistic choice of tone."
"Those rolling green hills were a crucial part of the feeling in my mind, and it’s that whole environment of the California suburbs surrounded by these looming green mounds, with a blue sky. It’s focusing on the filtered childlike qualities of things I remember from my own childhood growing up in that area."
