This is the game changer for Leeds. Should have happened in the early 2000. Instead we got Bates, decline, relegation, no ambition or investment, boycotts, and the GFH/Cellino era. After a few ups and downs, we're now at the start of journey to compete at our level again #lufc

Quentin Taratino said Lawrence Fishburne’s performance in King of New York was so incredible he thought - “he could be the greatest actor of his generation”. He explains:

"As great as Christopher Walken is in this movie. To me, it's Larry Fishburne's movie - it was the rock that becomes a diamond aspect of the movie. It's why I could defend this movie against all comers, because to me, Fish's performance in this movie was comparable to a young Brando.

It was the most exciting performance by an actor of his generation that I'd seen in a movie of that time. And I thought, well, that's it. There is a new Marlon Brando, and his name is Larry Fishburne - it was amazing, it was mesmerizing…

He is the first hip hop gangster in movie history. That character had never been done before this. He invented that character. And he invented it as something to do. It wasn't in the original script. He came up with that himself…

The three big Fishburne moments to me, is his opening sequence with…Tito. That's it, with Tito - black glove dude. And his reunion with Frank. And then it's the chicken scene (see below). Those are his three big arias.

Not only that though - expressions that I would later hear for the rest of the decade, I actually heard for the first time in that scene.

I'd never heard the expression; “I'll slap the black off you” before. That was the first time I heard it when Fish says it to Snipes. I've since heard it many times…

And that was actually the first time I ever heard, “fuck you very much”. And I would proceed to hear that for the rest of the 90s. But those were the first times I'd ever heard those expressions…

As terrific as he has been in other things - the level of excitement that I had over him when this movie was over, I have never had that excitement again. I thought, with this, he could be the greatest actor of his generation. That was an actual, real fucking thing. He could be the greatest actor of his generation after seeing this."

@RohanFernande16 @KubrickPoint It's not. You're correct.

[Matthew Cooper - Director @Matcooper]

@Laoconte_ @KubrickPoint Yeah - no breaks to 180 rule at all here. He cuts right over to the other side - directly opposite the original set up - maintains visual spatial consistency - but the reasons outlined thematically and dramatically are legit I think.

The precious bit of film shows of Stan Laurel visiting his father, Arthur Jefferson, during the 1932 visit to England by Laurel and Hardy. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

Tribeca co-founder Jane Rosenthal defends the festival's decision to screen a fully AI-generated film about the Iranian civilian resistance:

"I think people need to read the director's statement. The director is Iranian, his family, relatives and friends are there and it's the only way in a two month period he could tell his story, his way. So if somebody wrote a song about it, you wouldn't say anything, if somebody wrote a poem about it, you wouldn't say anything, if somebody wanted to dance about it, you wouldn't say anything. So he did it his way, so I think you have to look at it in that context. If it were about WWII, if it were about the Civil War, about any other story, you wouldn't do it. These stories have not gotten out. Is it perfect? No. But it's something that should be seen right now at this time."

In 1967, Martin Scorsese made a six-minute body-horror short called The Big Shave. He was 24 years old.

Today, at 83, he serves as an advisor to Black Forest Labs.

Between those ages, film tech has undergone a massive revolution, moving from photochemical to digital, Moviola (mechanical editing) to non-linear digital editing, and restricted camera mobility to affordable, dynamic camera tools you can use at home.

Today, we're witnessing the beginnings of AI-assisted production. Love it or hate it. It's not going anywhere.

In another 60 years, things will look different again.

The medium of cinema is less than 130ish years old.

@SarahSenobari @bfl_ai Huge honor for you guys - well done.

@AVARY Old guard trying to help. Like a last gift in a way - saying I would use it, should be a signal to some kid somewhere to try the tools and become the next Marty. It's a brave forward thinking move from the old master.
