BREAKING: Ridley Scott is releasing a new film this August. The trailer for that film just dropped. It’s called The Dog Stars, featuring Josh Brolin, Jacob Elordi, and Margaret Qualley. This is the story of a pilot surviving in a post-pandemic, abandoned Colorado. I’m seated.
BEAT THE DEVIL (2002)
Two seconds into it...you know this was directed by Tony Scott. So many filmmaking techniques explored in the cokey, chaotic, adrenaline rush fever dream short film. Based on an original concept created by David Fincher. Kodak Ektachrome + EXR + Vision film.

Leslie Nielsen was born OTD in 1926.
Leslie began his career as a serious actor, but a phone call from the producers of Airplane! (1980) changed all that and transformed him into 'the Laurence Olivier of spoofs'. Frank Drebin from The Naked Gun and Police Squad was a gift.
