This is insane. This 2006 Coca Cola Ad directed by Nagi Noda, with music by Jack White, aired just once. This is all shot on film in a single take with no CGI, all the snapshots are all real similar actors standing still.

@TheStingisBack I just want to draw attention to his performance in Oliver Stone's "The Hand" His shouting pain in that road accident is burned into me as a core memory

The Swarm is one of the greatest MICHAEL CAINE SHOUTY MOVIES EVER MADE!!! I WILL NOT HEAR A BAD WORD SAID ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!! IT PROBABLY BOUGHT A HOUSE AND A CAR FOR HIS MUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW, EXCUSE ME!!!!!!!!!!! (Thanks, Steve, for the reminder 😉)

@SethAbramson Your framing is a decision. But your claim that no-one wants to hurt him is utter hogwash

Actually, they call him a Nazi because he repeatedly gave a Nazi salute on national TV, is trying to start a race war in Europe, and is partially responsible for 14 million deaths due to his interference in the U.S. government. For all that, no one wants him hurt, just indicted.

@sfliberty Minor detail but Geldof organised musicians in the UK and recorded, "Do They Know it's Christmas." USA for Africa followed after that with "We Are The World"

Bob Geldof started calling musicians. On January 28, 1985, forty-six artists recorded "We Are the World" in a single night in Hollywood. The single sold over 20 million copies. On July 13, Live Aid filled Wembley Stadium in London and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia and raised more than 100 million US dollars for famine relief. It was the largest humanitarian mobilization in history up to that point.

In July 1985, over a billion people watched Live Aid. Months earlier, Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie had written "We Are the World." All of it was a response to a famine in Ethiopia. Almost nobody remembers who actually caused the famine. 🧵

This may be the greatest 2 minutes and 44 seconds of television I’ve ever seen

@rzdchxrry Elastica was my impulsive reply

does anyone know any good female fronted alt bands that isnt paramore or pmb

@PopcornPost_ John Cazale

An actor/actress who has NEVER made a single bad movie ever.

@GyllKing Like what, in particular? Is there a specific quotation that spurred you to write this?

Rupert Lowe’s rhetoric is increasingly unhinged. He is making increasingly extraordinary & violent statements based on disinformation and lies. There must be a red line here for inciting racial hatred?

@Dearme2_ Ice bath and breath work.

Please be HONEST, During your darkest period, what was the best thing you ever did for your mental health?

A break from the politics. The audio changes depending on which line you're reading.

I hate it when that happens

I saw The Bear at a film festival and wasn’t ready for how jaw-dropping it is. It became a phenomenon in France, topping 88's box office. The story of an orphaned cub that bonds with a huge Kodiak as hunters close in sounds like Disney, but it's unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

A guy was ready to drop $1,500 on a new OLED TV because his 3-year-old Smart TV was freezing up and took 5 seconds just to respond to the remote. He unplugged it. Deleted old apps. Cleared the cache. The lag kept coming back. He went to Best Buy to get a replacement. The home theater installer in the blue shirt stopped him: "Before you spend a grand, let me show you something." He grabbed a remote and shook his head. "There are 8 hidden tracking settings throttling your TV's processor right now. Manufacturers turn them all on by default. Nobody tells you they exist. Let's fix this." Here's what he showed him in the next 8 minutes. 🧵

Some of the best shots from 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968)

@groks1friend @gildednotsure No. It was a British satirist called Chris Morris. Quite the rabbit hole to investigate. Try Brass Eye, The Day Today and Four Lions. It's satire that envelopes your face like a junked up spaz on heat. (Chris Morris fans will know what I'm trying to accomplish there)

@gildednotsure Is this real?

Rare 9/11 skit with Peter O'Hanraha-hanrahan.

@equinepaparazzi @GangsterCinema There goes the next chief of police....

@GangsterCinema A tremendously crappy movie. Lousy script and worse acting because they knew this script was crappy andthat great acting wasn’t going to salvage it, everybody phoned it in, everybody, the actors writers directors producers, they’re all responsible for this gigantic piece of shit.

Brian De Palma originally wanted Andy Garcia to play Capone's enforcer Frank Nitti in The Untouchables, but Garcia turned it down and lobbied for the role of George Stone instead - partly because he wanted to work alongside Sean Connery. Garcia explains... "Obviously I wanted to work with Connery. He was one of my childhood heroes, so I lobbied immediately to play the other part. I had to be firm about it —I wanted to roll the dice. Eventually I met with Brian, and I auditioned for George Stone, and they gave me the part…. The dynamics in the film were basically the dynamics on set. We all became very close, but the hierarchy stayed the same — he (Connery) was the older, wise guy, always jabbing at us, and it was my job, as my character, to push back. Respectfully, but to keep the exchanges going. I love Sean Connery. I’ll tell you a quick story — I’ve told it before, but it’s funny.... (1/2)

@pisspope Hook and 1941 were films of his that I just could not get through. Disclosure Day has the benefit of feeling like one of his movies if not entirely landing like a classic. Colin Firth and Emily Blunt were both terrific and completely understood the task

Spielberg's filmography is so vast and varied but somehow Hook is still his most inexplicable. Just a really bizarre movie to make

@ATLCWorker @scribe_ezra Which book? Mien Kampf? Lol. The socialist moniker in the name is the smoking gun

@scribe_ezra Nothing socialist at all about the national socialist worker party. Read a book.

@jetskitosway2 I worked on a YouTube channel recently and they'd bought a wider angle lens, enthusing that I wasn't limited by framing correctly because they can fix that in post. It was disheartening because it took all the creative joy out of shot composition

question for people who know about cinematography, is there a reason why seemingly every new movie is shot with shallow depth of field? is it just easier/more practical? I know deep focus cinematography requires significantly more light so I assume that makes it more difficult
