Kyle Rankin

Él es K9 Valor, salvó la vida de 47 soldados, sobrevivió a un primer terrorista suicida y mató a 3 más, diente contra cuchillo, luego se posicionó entre una explosión y su controlador. La mitad de su cara quedó destrozada, perdió su ojo y oreja izquierda. Lo llevaron a Alemania donde parcialmente le reconstruyeron la mandíbula. El Pentágono le otorgó La medalla de honor del congreso y un aplauso y ovación de más de 8 minutos. Un verdadero héroe.

🚨 50 YEARS AGO TODAY: Dodgers legend Rick Monday became an American hero. Two protesters ran onto the field at Dodger Stadium trying to burn the American flag… and Rick Monday sprinted in like a damn boss and SNATCHED it right out of their hands. No hesitation. No apologies. Pure patriotism @TheVinScully with the call!

Director Robert Altman breaks down how he crafted an 8-minute "oner" with no cuts to start THE PLAYER (1992). They filmed 15 takes using 11 microphones to nail the choreography and blocking in this shot. The dialog was completely improvised.

A Dostoyevsky line has never hit me so hard

Salieri seeing Mozart's handwritten originals for the first time - superb use of music in a cinematic way.

@JonErlichman I would add book reading, sleep, mental health, and childhood

In 1988, at 3:00 AM, a recording engineer in Honolulu named Milan Bertosa received a call from a client who said, "I have this guy here who really wants to record something." That "guy" was Israel Kamakawiwoʻole (known as "IZ"), a 500-pound Hawaiian musician who arrived at the studio in a taxi shortly after. Bertosa quickly set up a single microphone, and in just one take, Israel performed a medley of "Over the Rainbow" and "What a Wonderful World" accompanied only by his ukulele. The recording was so raw and beautiful that it eventually became a global phenomenon, appearing in countless movies and commercials.

Me and my buddies fought in a 20-year war because Bush and Obama couldn’t get done in four terms what Trump just got done in four hours. I voted for this!

When filming wrapped on THE GOONIES (1985), director Richard Donner was desperate to get away from the noise on set and went home to Hawaii. Steven Spielberg sent the cast to Hawaii to surprise Donner on his birthday. Here's the amazing footage.

53 years ago this month, Sesame Street debuted the iconic "I Can Remember. " You ready? "A loaf of bread, a container of milk and a stick of butter.” "A loaf of bread, a container of milk and a stick of butter.”

How a 1937 film pulled off one of cinema’s creepiest transformations. It’s hard to believe this effect was created nearly 90 years ago. x.com/fluxfolio_/sta…

Sean Penn introduced a screening of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest this weekend at Lyon’s Lumière Festival. Penn called Nicholson an “angel on my shoulder” and spoke about the immeasurable impact this film & Nicholson had on his life. Two absolute legends. Real recognize real.

really enjoyed my cast and crew on this one:

Jeff Dye: "Liberals make better espresso… I tell Republicans… Listen, you keep your… patriotic… lifestyle out of this coffee shop.' My coffee is made by some pill-addled, vegan witch. Some grumpy Queer lady… fresh from an abortion, ready to go!"

Actor Not Sure His Charlie Kirk Post Has Enough Qualifiers

Charlie Kirk changed my life. I attended Turning Point USA's Young Black Leadership Summit in October 2018. I was 14 at the time but Charlie told me it didn't matter how young I was, I could fight alongside him in this movement. From then on, I attended every Turning Point Conference every year. From 2018 to 2025. I grew up in this movement. I became the person I am today because of the inspiration from Charlie Kirk and his organization. I will never be the same without him, and this country will never be the same either. He was a husband, a father, a man of God, and a visionary for our nation.
