Yuja Wang delivers her signature performance of Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue." A highly characteristic and improvisational clarinet glissando opens up a musical space that is both elegant and free-spirited, reminiscent of 1920s New York.

@adamcarolla Fuck!! Idiots

Is there a greater example of Hollywood douchebagary. Than this

@moraltreason @unlimited_ls And u r true moron!!

@unlimited_ls It's easy to view the wife as a bad mom, murderer or even crazy. She is all that. But the husband caused this. His two children are dead due to his infidelity. He will have to live with that fact for the rest of his life. Tragic and sad all around.

🚨NEW: Arizona mom kills her two children and herself after shooting a woman in the back of the head who had been with her husband at a bar, then sent him a photo of one of the children bleeding from the head Andrea Clarice Davis, 38, drove to Tailgaters Sports Bar & Grill shortly after midnight and opened fire on her husband, Nolan Davis, and a 36-year-old woman he was with The woman was shot in the back of the head while trying to flee in her car, but survived After the shooting, Davis texted her husband saying she was going to hurt their children and sent him a photo showing one of them bleeding from the head Officers found Davis dead alongside her two children, 10-year-old Austin and 18-month-old Andolan

@fw_lennox1 U r so lucky!!

My mom just moved into her new 5bedroom house and told me to move in with her. Her exact words: “Spending $1800 on rent is ridiculous. Save your money and move in. I don’t want to be in this big house by myself. Idc what anybody says… I’M MOVING IN At 32, I’ll have my own room + bathroom, a dedicated office to work from, and my own living area upstairs. Having parents that still got your back after your 20s is a real flex.

@jeffery_haskell Ha ha ha do u think she took any exams ?

How is it possible to graduate with an MFA in Drama and NOT have read the Odyssey. The Greek's INVENTED drama. Each of my kids when they start reading have read the Iliad and the Odyssey. I would understand if she were just some random actress... but an MFA from Yale?

Orson Welles : "Théoriquement, je suis contre les gros plans de tous genres, bien que je ne possède que peu de théories étant donné que je tiens à demeurer très libre. - Pourquoi cette objection aux gros plans ? - Je trouve merveilleux le fait que le public puisse choisir des yeux ce qu’il veut voir dans un plan. Je n’aime pas le forcer, et l’usage du gros plan revient à le forcer : il ne peut voir que lui. Dans Kane par exemple, vous avez dû voir qu’il y avait très peu de gros plans, presque aucun. Il y en a peut-être six dans tout le film. Mais une histoire comme Falstaff les exige, parce qu’au moment où nous prenons du recul et que nous nous séparons des visages, nous apercevons des gens en costume d’époque et beaucoup d'acteurs au premier plan. Plus nous sommes près du visage, plus celui-ci devient universel ; Falstaff est une comédie sombre, l’histoire de la trahison de l’amitié. Je suis résolument contre les gros plans, mais je suis persuadé que cette histoire (Falstaff) les exige. Toute l’importance du film doit se trouver sur les visages ; sur ces visages, il nous faut retrouver tout cet univers dont je parle. J'imagine qu’il sera « le » film en gros plans de ma vie." (Orson Welles, Conversations avec Juan Cobos, Juan Antonio Pruneda et Miguel Rubio, Cahiers du Cinéma n°165, avril 1965) "Mon cher Peter, je te concède tous les gros plans que tu veux. Personnellement, je n'y tiens pas beaucoup, comme tu sais. Je dis toujours à mes acteurs : "Sors de toi-même, si tu n'es pas assez bon, il faudra qu'on rapproche la caméra pour un gros plan."" - Tu viens de faire un film presque exclusivement composé de gros plans. "The Deep. Qu'est-ce que je pouvais faire d'autre ? L'action se passe sur deux petits bateaux. Je te concède autre chose, Peter, il y a des acteurs de gros plan. C'est ceux qui ne donnent rien tant que tu ne leur mets pas la caméra sous le nez. Rintintin et Lassie en sont de merveilleux exemples." (Moi Orson Welles, Orson Welles & Peter Bogdanovich, Belfond, page 48)

Novak Djokovic: “My kids don't have cell phones and won’t until they are mature enough. They complain that everyone at school has one except them. When everyone follows the herd, conformity is expected. But it doesn’t have to be that way. That's where we differ.”

When Spielberg and blocking reenter the Twitter chat, I gotta reshare some of my blocking breakdowns for your enjoyment. A thread:

Another great bit of blocking, staging, and subtle camera movement in Steven Spielberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence to continually reshape this moving master shot. Arguably six unique compositions in one. What I always love about these shots is the way in which they are intentionally telling an evolving story. This film often uses perpendicularly connected room layouts to enable a number of these kinds of evolving shots. Love it. A.I. Artificial Intelligence - 2001 Dir Steven Spielberg - Credit due also to Janusz Kaminski, the actors, and the talented dolly grips and camera team #FilmTwitter #directing #spielberg

@jticoharrison Ha ha oh man, I hope u r joking! That iPad looks like it’s going to fall off any time soon

Little bit of time mucking around on the Luce configurator last night. Say what you like about the exterior - as many people have done - but that interior is phenomenal

@hippyygoat Next step is DO NOT WATCH IT ON TV AS WELL

World Cup hotel cancellations are soaring as global fans avoid the US. A report, produced by the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA), has found that bookings are well below expectations in almost every host city. WONDERFUL BOYCOTT FIFA FOTBALL‼️

@pavyg Mr idiot

Mr Charisma is in the building....

@AmyMek That’s what happened in Kosovo! Serbia lost it in less than 35 years

🚨ISLAMIZED BRITAIN’S POINT OF NO RETURN: Muslim Population Hits 4.4 MILLION – Over 6% of the Country This is Demographic conquest.... Here’s what happens when the Muslim population grows (historical pattern repeating across Europe – and now Britain): 1% or less: Peaceful minority image. 2–3%: Recruitment ramps up (prisons, gangs, disaffected youth). 5%: Sharia pressure begins – demands for halal food in schools/supermarkets, prayer rooms, Islamic dress codes, special accommodations, and harassment of politicians. We are now at 6%… and the acceleration is unstoppable without immediate action. At 10%: Increased lawlessness explodes. Complaints turn into riots and threats. Non-Muslim “offenses” (cartoons, free speech, criticism of Islam) trigger violence, car burnings, and street chaos. No-go zones multiply. Politicians start pandering to the Muslim voting bloc. (See France and parts of Sweden today.) At 15%: The tipping point hits hard. Major riots become routine. Jihad militias begin forming. Sporadic attacks on non-Muslims, churches, and institutions spike. Demands for Sharia patrols and parallel societies intensify. Political power shifts – they start winning local councils and influencing national policy. (This is where India’s trouble zones and Lebanon’s collapse began.) At 20%: Frequent riots, organized jihad militias, and direct attacks on non-Muslim institutions. Ethnic tensions erupt into open conflict. Non-Muslims flee areas. Sharia enforcement in Muslim zones becomes de facto law. (Lebanon went from Christian majority to civil war hell at this level.) At 40%: Widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and full militia warfare. Entire regions fall under Islamic control. Non-Muslims face daily persecution. At 60%: Persecution of non-believers, ethnic cleansing, Sharia law fully enforced, and jizya taxes imposed on remaining infidels. At 80%+: State-run ethnic cleansing and genocide. The drive to 100% Muslim is relentless. At 100%: The “peace” of Dar al-Islam – everyone submits or dies. There is NO coming back from these numbers. High birth rates, chain migration, refusal to assimilate, and parallel societies mean Britain is sleepwalking into irreversible Islamization. No-go zones, grooming gangs, riots, and Sharia creep are already here – and it only gets worse at 10%, 15%, 20%, and beyond. The Muslim Council of Britain celebrates this as “cultural and religious diversity” and “significant” contributions while calling for “strengthened peaceful coexistence.” But what does “peaceful coexistence” REALLY mean when THEY say it? In Islamic doctrine, “peace” (salaam) is NOT equality or mutual respect. It means total submission to Islam. Quran 8:39 commands fighting until “the religion, all of it, is for Allah.” Treaties with non-Muslims are temporary hudna (truces), breakable whenever it benefits Muslims, as Muhammad did with the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah. True “peace” only arrives when non-Muslims convert, pay the jizya tax as subjugated dhimmis, or are eliminated. No reciprocal coexistence. Just dominance. Britain – Stop the invasion, enforce assimilation or deportation, or watch your country disappear.

@MAVERIC68078049 Yep, even more than with make up

This is Sydney Sweeney without makeup. How do people find her attractive?

@FerrariJPN To many words to describe something that looks like shit!!
