The death penalty is one of the few issues where we see true radical centrism: one side is pro-execution, the other is anti-execution, so we compromise by waiting two decades and then doing half of an execution. Somehow everybody loses

Oh no this didn’t play out

I think the fact that Daemon and Aemond have both encountered Helaena in their dreams while at Harrenhal means all three of them are going to die at the same time

The Wailing is a masterpiece. And it holds a special place in my heart as one of my favorite films I’ve ever deconstructed.

Good Time is the film that convinced me to take Robert Pattinson seriously. This was the point of no return. This was the performance that changed everything for Pattinson. I don’t know where this came from or how Pattinson pulled this off, but this film started what has turned out to be a generational run from Pattinson. Moreover, the Safdie Brothers had a creative vision with this film & Uncut Gems. You feel that vision every time you visit either film. If you haven’t seen Good Time yet, this could be the weekend.

Mitch McConnell remaining technically alive for an extra three weeks because of a manipulative procedural maneuver is exactly how he would have wanted to go out.

The russian 1964 adaptation of Hamlet has such a beautiful cinematography, it's insane

I’m not sure this is understood in the West, so I want to emphasize:

Al Risala are Lebanese *Boy Scouts.*

They belong to the Lebanese Scouting Federation, the local affiliate of the World Organization of the Scout Movement.

The US affiliate is the Boy Scouts of America.

After Al Risala Scouts turn 18, they often become Scout leaders who serve as EMTs, firefighters, and search-and-rescue teams.

In the past 2 months, Israel has killed 27 Al Risala Scouts, Troop leaders, and associated young adult rescue workers.

Here are some of young Scouts killed by Israel. Neither the Boy Scouts of America nor the World Organization of the Scout Movement have condemned their murders.

Pretentious film bros will tell you that Barry Lyndon is Stanley Kubrick’s real greatest film, being an unparalleled achievement in visual design, cinematography, and natural lighting.

They are 100% correct.

Tom Ford’s Nocturnal Animals (🌟🌟🌟🌟) is stunning. Ford, who is more famous for his fashion than his films, should make more movies. It’s not just that the direction of this film really struck me (this is a visual work of art, in which Ford acknowledges how critical “the shot” is to Cinema), it’s also the story itself, which Ford adapted. Ford utilizes a number of classic literary devices- like a story within a story- to toss a multiple emotional haymakers. Mix in an A-List cast, and you have a near perfect movie. 

We meet Amy Adams’ Susan Morrow as she manages a lucrative art gallery in Los Angeles. Draped in crisp, dark shots to open, Ford introduces us to this story through Susan. Upon arriving home one night from the gallery, Susan receives a manuscript for a book written by her ex husband Edward (Jake Gyllenhaal). Susan receives the manuscript in total shock because she hasn’t been in touch with Edward for years. But the moment Susan cracks open the scrip & engages with the story, she’s totally transfixed. 

Within said manuscript is a story about a man named Tony (Tony is played by Jake as is Edward) who is driving late at night in West Texas with his daughter and wife, only to be harassed, attacked and driven off the road by a handful of Texas hooligans, lead by Ray (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). While dealing with said Texas hooligans, Tony meets Detective Andes (Michael Shannon) who takes matters into his own hands. The actual story written by Edward is goes from bad to worse- from dark to darker. 

The ultimate power of the story within a story that Ford uses here is that everything that happens to Tony in the novel is a metaphor for all the pain & suffering Susan caused Edward during their marriage. It’s the exact reason why the manuscript has such a powerful hold over Susan- she starts to recognize or realize the symbolism Tony represents. In the actual script, Tony’s entire livelihood and family is taken from him, representing exactly what Susan took from Edward. All of which creates such a fascinating framework & a beautiful final act in which Edward gets his final “revenge” over Susan for all the hardship she caused him. The story- mixed with Ford’s sleek, stoic filmmaking- leads you off an emotional cliff. 

Then there’s the acting. Every last actor I just named puts in an outstanding performance. Michael Shannon earned himself an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor here, but that could’ve honestly gone to ATJ. Not only that, this film finds Amy Adams in the middle of an all-time run throughout the ‘10s. The fact she also has this performance under her belt in 2016 just makes that run even more unfathomable. 

I hope Tom Ford makes more films.

I edited the sound fx in this scene in Tron: Legacy. The sounds from Sam’s motorcycle were from a Ducati recorded at Skywalker Ranch specifically for the film. We also recorded a police motorcycle & siren sounds. Working on this was a dream come true https://t.co/0a5OD0kJ1h
