If you told me Martin Scorsese made Marty Supreme I'd believe it. And just in case it's not clear, I mean that as a massive compliment to Josh Safdie.

@jtmollner Man I haven't watched any Safdy movie and Marty Supreme blew me away. What an incredible Director From now on I'm gonna watch everything he makes.

@RnR_Shelley @SemiCognoscente BDT is magic in the movie. His character is one of my favorites in cinema history. But as a performance Leo's level of difficulty (he is nothing like that in interviews) seemed off the charts for me. I was just really really impressed with his performance.

@Rickloven11 @QTarantino_ I'm not saying those things don't exist... they just aren't "everywhere". And there are very few problems they we have in California that aren't issues in pretty much every other state. Except fires. Those are no joke.

@jtmollner @QTarantino_ All due respect JT, I work out here a lot myself. Driving in from the freeway and all that graffiti along the walls and then entering the city… it’s bad. The city couldn’t even keep the Kobe mural from vandalism. To say I’m inaccurate is wild. To each their own I guess.

I asked LinkedIn if I should just move to Los Angeles now or make a feature film (I can only do 1 right now), and everyone responded with, “Don’t move to LA.” 🥴 That tells me all I need to know about the film and tv industry.

@jtmollner @TimothyDowling Los Angeles is the second largest city in the U.S. Not to be unfair or vilifying, but I like to think it has more to offer than the Hollywood subculture.

@RnR_Shelley My profession doesn't make by opinion any more valid then yours! I just thought they were both excellent for different reasons.

@jtmollner I hate to disagree with an actually trained filmmaker, but… Was he? I watch Ethan and I see the culmination of a partnership with Richard Linklater that is reaching its fruition since the first scene in Before Sunrise. Apex. Hawke’s to lose.

@Rickloven11 @QTarantino_ Everyone has their own experience with LA. Mine has been really great. Even during my years of struggle. And saying there's "homeless and trash everywhere" indicates you don't live or visit here and are getting your info from a very specific kind of news. It's not accurate.

@jtmollner @QTarantino_ Nah. Paying 3x rent for a 1 bedroom just to say you live in “LA” is absurd. Living cost there is a joke. Homeless and trash everywhere. It ain’t what it once was. It’s not the 90s anymore. You can find your success in the industry living elsewhere. It ain’t worth it.

I watched “The Long Walk” on the plane. It was great. I was imagining something like “The Running Man,” another King adaptation—a “reality show” esque sci-fi story of the 1980s era of TV broadcast dominance (a critique on media)—but it was completely different. It’s about young lonely people, burdened with trauma and worries, who just keep walking through life (the long walk). The perspective and background of the organizers or the spectators aren’t shown; the film maintains a strict distance from the roadside. The camera simply stays close to the boys and walks by their side until the very end. The direction is very different from The Hunger Games. Director Francis Lawrence is clever. Within the absurdity of this game, the youths help each other, understand one another, reflect on their past, and come to realize the “path” that stretches toward tomorrow. Dropping out isn’t just the end of one person—it’s passing the baton and entrusting their “will” to the winners. It’s a meta, philosophical film about friendship and growth and also a declaration of war against the adults. In a way, it’s close to “Stand by Me.” David Jonsson, a big favorite of mine, gave an amazing performance too. Cooper Hoffman was also great. And of course, Mark Hamill, too. I’ll watch it again in theaters. Highly recommend.
