Please don’t let this guy touch Batman 😞

Scenes nowadays don’t breathe like they used to. You can hold moments longer but you must ensure a story is being told in the frame. It can be gradual or simply leading the eye to an imminent action - think of a longer take as a micro story within a larger whole 🤔

Good thing England and Norway have never had any historical beefs

Thanks dad ❤️

It might’ve just been another day as usual - but they set up a camera and filmed Stallone as Rocky jogging through like a champion and created an iconic cinematic moment 👑

I miss Harvey

@AVARY It’s liberating to run the camera. However performance fatigue is real. Actors that worked with Kubrick and Fincher have spoken about this. IMO do what you need to do to get your vision on screen and avoid comparisons with others that aren’t making your movie.

@srin_writer That’s a good argument.

With three minutes in the mag on IMAX versus no artificial time limits in digital cinema -- which is better for performance? Another downside to IMAX for dramatic cinema.

@AVARY No IMO but this is common with a lot of series that have great early seasons but not the scope to continue past it premise

I just finished Season One of 2018’s Barry, Bill Hader & Alec Berg’s excellent dramatic comedy about an ex-Marine turned contract killer who becomes entangled with the Azerbaijanian mob in Los Angeles while stumbling into an acting class run by Henry Winkler. Thoughtful and well-written, with hilarious performances all around, Barry manages to balance the comedy by finding absurd truth in the situations. Hader & Winkler won Emmys for their performances (and Hader won a well-deserved DGA award) but Anthony Carrigan’s NoHo Hank is a revelation, and Stephen Root is brilliant as Barry’s handler. There are so many insights into humanity and personal identity, and the struggle for success in the Los Angeles dream factory, that I found myself emotionally engaged well beyond expectation. The series is something of a cousin to John Cusack’s terrific Grosse Pointe Blank, and if you like that film you’ll love Barry. The question is, does it maintain its excellence through its two year Covid-19 shutdown and subsequent culture collapse for seasons 2-4?

@JLisaJay It was the top living room feature circa 80s-90s

I miss the days when people had aquariums. People cant afford to keep fish tanks anymore.

@GareRick Literally never has a wild hippo ever been playing games with humans in the history of mother nature 😱

@jayson_smiley Not “one day” instead “day one”

Very few will get this: If you stop being desperate and entitled, if you take the lead in your own life, things will begin to fall in place. The industry favors leaders with a plan. “Asks” aren’t a plan. A goal without a plan is just a dream. Number 1 saying among writers: My DREAM is… that’s an ASK. You’re welcome. 😘

@GiganticCranium @hwoodminotaur The rhythm of that lever action shotgun 🤯

T2 absolutely inspired me to be a filmmaker. I experienced it opening weekend in Los Angeles & it blew my mind. I was 17 & attending the USC summer production workshop for a crash course on filmmaking. I saw it again the following day

@benjaminluk Technology has gradually turned an artistic dictatorship into a democracy and everyone’s slowly adjusting to it 🤔

Screenwriters will spend 10 years writing and writing to get read by a producer. M’dude, in 10 years, you can 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 the producer.

@robertpatrickT2 I still have nightmares about you chasing me 😱

Almost caught ‘em ;) 👍🏼 #T2 35 Years!

Most of what he “pioneered” when bringing IMAX to multiplex exhibition got clipped out. Honestly, the only filmmaker’s vision that commands true IMAX is arguably David Lean 🤔
