screen graphics supervisor for the movies:
PROJECT HAIL MARY | BRAND NEW DAY
the kind of person who still thinks digital watches are a pretty neat idea.
@Rahll Worked on it back in ‘24 — and seeing it over the weekend I was staggered as it unfolded in directions I had no insight into while filming, fascinating movie.
At one point this scene, the horse stopped in the middle of the set, and started pissing. The entire cast/crew went bananas, Tom and co hooting and hollering, cheering. That right there is the magic of the movies.
(Don’t ask me why we had a horse… I don’t control the narrative)
Obscure Ferrara of the day: Filling in blanks on the films not in the Criterion series, Abel Ferrara's GO-GO TALES, his comic take on a night in a strip club! Willem Dafoe, Bob Hoskins, Asia Argento, Matthew Modine, Sylvia Miles, Stefania Rocca star!

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
