@JackPosobiec America needs to commit to a High Trust Society again. It will solve most of our imported & homegrown problems within months. Of course all female whining should be ignored & they should be removed from power to "save them from themselves".
Bulldoze a high trust society. 🇺🇸
On this note, the reason I’ll never really like “conservative first” content or art slop is bc I came from someone and was myself someone who grew up “craft first” w politics as the undercurrent. While most of these ppl were doing their assigned social studies classes or reading the Federalist Papers for the 800th time, and have never taken a visual arts class in their life, my Dad forced himself to perfect the craft of writing in a high school for maladjusted students who got thrown out of prep school and then went to the best film school in the world. And I spent my formative years in art school, working at an art house video store, and then also went to the best film school in the world. That actually is worth something.
The problem w the right is there’s a lot of people in charge of $ and media who haven’t spent a min working on an artistic craft and CANNOT tell good from bad at even the most basic level.
The “Intro to Lighting” class for example would be really beneficial to every RW movie I’ve ever seen.
Competing w the best films students alive (and winning) and working for a premiere photographer for ten years and building my own pro book was fairly useful when it came time to tell a political story that didn’t look like absolute trash. You can tell a political story that is visually unique and beautiful it’s not illegal.
Anyway this is why my Dad deserves all the praise he gets bc he’s not just “one of the conservatives in Hollywood” but because he’s an artist and the best writer alive and a great *distinctive* director.
Guys on here will literally wake up and be like huh I think we should make movies that are good about US history but I’m going to dismiss the best movies made about US history bc it’s been a while and I want it to sort of be like Game of Thrones bc I have the film background of a 12 yr old.
Twenty years ago today, David Gilmour played the first of three shows at London's Royal Albert Hall, with a very special guest appearance for Comfortably Numb from David Bowie, in what sadly turned out to be Bowie's final ever appearance on a UK stage.
On Sunday at 5pm BST / 12noon ET / 6pm CET, the entire show, released as Remember That Night, will premiere on David's YouTube (where you can watch the full performance of Comfortably Numb now).
Rest in Peace Dick Parry. I saw you perform for the first time at 16 years old with @pinkfloyd later on with @davidgilmour multiple times and you have always been my personal favorite saxophonist. You were also a Fucking Legend.
My dear friend Dick Parry died this morning.
Since I was seventeen, I have played in bands with Dick on saxophone, including Pink Floyd.
His feel and tone make his saxophone playing unmistakable, a signature of enormous beauty that is known to millions and is such a big part of songs such as Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here, Us and Them and Money.
He played in the last band I had that included Rick Wright for the On An Island Tour and at Live 8 with Pink Floyd.
Here are some pictures of him, including one of him and me playing for the ABC Minors at the Victoria Cinema in Cambridge in 1963.
It's easy to talk about making art and fantasize about revolution. It's nearly impossible to do it.
Art can change the world, but it's a bloody, sweaty, painful thing to try. It seems like most people want the ego trip and to LARP as creators than to actually suffer to create.
La notizia più potente di questa tragedia non è soltanto il recupero dei cinque italiani morti alle Maldive.
È un’altra.
Gli speleo-sub finlandesi che hanno affrontato il buio della grotta… hanno chiesto di non essere pagati.
Fermatevi un attimo a pensare a questo.
Sono entrati in uno dei luoghi più pericolosi al mondo.
Hanno rischiato la vita tra correnti, profondità e oscurità assoluta.
Hanno visto da vicino ciò che nessuno vorrebbe mai vedere.
E quando tutto è finito, non hanno chiesto soldi.
Niente.
In un’epoca dove molti farebbero qualsiasi cosa per guadagnare visibilità, loro hanno scelto il silenzio.
In un mondo dove quasi tutto ha un prezzo, loro hanno dimostrato che esistono ancora persone che agiscono solo per umanità.
Sami Paakkarinen.
Jenni Westerlund.
Patrik Grönqvist.
Tre persone che ci stanno ricordando cosa significa avere una coscienza, un cuore, un’anima.
Perché riportare a casa quei cinque italiani non era un lavoro qualsiasi.
Era una missione umana.
Era permettere a delle famiglie distrutte di poter dire addio.
Era dare pace a chi era rimasto sospeso tra speranza e disperazione.
Era trasformare un vuoto infinito in un ultimo saluto possibile.
E certe cose non si fanno per denaro.
Si fanno perché dentro di te senti che è la cosa giusta.
Oggi viviamo circondati da gente che urla, ostenta, pretende applausi per qualsiasi cosa.
Poi arrivano persone così.
Persone che rischiano tutto… e non vogliono nulla.
E allora forse l’unica reazione giusta è questa:
stare in silenzio.
E dire grazie.
Grazie Sami.
Grazie Jenni.
Grazie Patrik.
Perché avete ricordato a tutti noi che l’umanità vera esiste ancora. 🌊❤️

Force the original Milius script “Conan The King, Crown of Iron”.
Burn the phone lines down.
My Dad nor I benefit from them using the original script, they already own it, aside from my Dad seeing his vision finally be attempted.
IMO Arnold would be supportive of this.
Silver Swan Automaton… no motors, built in 1773 and still working perfectly.
The Silver Swan is powered entirely by mainsprings and brass clockwork gears.
Why did we stop creating such elegant engineering and beautiful pieces of art… timeless and built to last?
