People rightly talk about the film's groundbreaking digital effects, but the heart of Jurassic Park is the scientist overwhelmed with awe at seeing the creatures he's studied his whole life alive and in the flesh. And it doesn't work unless Sam Neill sells the hell out it.

Rest in peace, Sam Neill. Thank you for bringing Dr. Grant to life.

I met him once boarding a plane. We were stuck in line and i was like "ok..say something..fk do it.. do it...do it" in my head..

He turns once glances at me... smiles and nods... like "yeah i know you know who i am.." and i just go quiet...then he glances back and just says "ask away..."

I did the usual "omfg love your work blah blah" and then he asked what I did and then just went into this rathole of how tech and creativity fascinate him and how people do things with computers and then we ended up talking about sheep properties and my life living in the outback... then he splintered off to his seat and mine..

Then we get to our destination, I get off and my wife is waiting for me with the kids and he gets off after me as he was ambushed with people wanting selfies... anyway I tell my wife "guess who's on the plane" and so she now wants to wait around, he then walks past us, nods at me and says "nice meeting you Scott" and continues..

The look my wife gave me at that point in time was like "WTF DID YOU DO.."

Anyway. All i remember was here's one guy who could have just waived me off took the time to chat about nothing and still somehow gave me the "you matter too" vibe.

Legend. Genuinely sad he's passed.

Just give Argentina the WC already if you’re gonna do blatant biased refereeing

Turns out Olivia Wilde is a hell of a director. I can’t imagine a single apartment being shot more creatively than she managed in The Invite.

Cannot believe the France vs Spain semifinal is 3pm on a Tuesday. A weekday afternoon. North America is hosting this World Cup. Put the final at 3pm Saturday... fine... it's the weekend. But scheduling a semi at 3pm on a workday to cater to Europe while North Americans get shafted is a joke.

And before anyone says a lot of the tournament games have been in the afternoon, that is not the point. This is a HUGE semifinal. When you host, the marquee games go in your prime time. That is how the Olympics work, that is how past World Cups have worked. The host market gets the showcase window. North America is hosting and got skipped for a weekday matinee. What is even the point of hosting?

Christopher Nolan on AI:

“I’ve never seen a more rapid wholesale dismissal of a supposedly foundational jump in technology in my lifetime. So much energy has been expended on bringing in AI, but if you look at that generation’s reaction, they’re utterly rejecting it. [My children’s] judgment of AI slop has been immediate and harsh. They see it for what it is very quickly – and it’s much easier for them to identify it, because it grew out of an online world they know really well. And while that doesn’t mean that every aspect of the technology is useless or meaningless, in film-making it’s hitting at exactly the wrong time. After years of driving towards heavily virtual environments, we’re seeing a renewed interest in more tactile, more real forms of storytelling.”

hot take: disney villans are no longer villans, we are misleading children into thinking everyone is "misunderstood"

If you’re going to charge $10 for Wi-Fi on a flight, why can’t you just bury it into the original ticket price and call the Wi-Fi “free” so I don’t have to get pissed off at 35,000 feet?

This ref needs to be investigated. Paraguay are getting away with straight up violence

Cape Verde 👑 that was the most impressive game i have ever seen from a big time underdog, my biggest respect 🫂

[B @utdbrxy]

Cape Verde went to war with Spain, Uruguay and Argentina in their first World Cup. We will make sure history remembers this run

Not even a first Premier League title in 22 years can fix a fan base that is intentional about being miserable.
