Two of the greatest TV episodes ever used the same Dire Straits song for maximum impact. Here they are played together in sync, panned left and right in perfect alignment. Music is the invisible filmmaking glue that shapes story, emotion and our memories.

@TheAlexSylvian Coming Attractions flashbacks. Can we get Crusade, too?

they should bring back the john milius script for king conan

@constans Not unrelated, for obvious reasons, but this short story structure also applies to Mad Men as I see it.
English
The reason we never replicated “The Sopranos” is bc people didn’t want what it was. People wanted an ongoing storyline. “The Sopranos” was basically a series called “Mafialand” where each episode was a short story about the goings on of people in the Mafialand universe

some people think night shift or different seasons is the move but in my experience it is literally impossible to get a casual reader to read a book of short stories

getting all these warnings about "Heat exhaustion" today as if it isn't the most rewatchable 3-hour movie of all time

@Srirachachau Also, dude just loved Dersu Uzala. Doesn’t get talked about enough in general or as an Empire Strikes Back inspiration.

I think millennials never got radicalized because we still think of the internet as a disreputable place. All of this is just the latest iteration of bullshitters on the geocities forums. But for zoomers, their favorite TikToker might as well be Walter Cronkite.

As a piece of performance art, the Paul-Tyson fight was beautiful. I've never seen a piece of art make millions of people collectively and painfully aware of mortality like that.

@metaplexmovies @TheAlexSylvian Had a hard time first time I read it. Came back to it after reading Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and it totally clicked.

@TheAlexSylvian trying to keep a straight face knowing where things go. if you remember let me know how you feel about it when you're done

Carefully saving the deleted section in a new document, just in case I need the worst paragraph ever written for future work

@TheAlexSylvian The grocery and theater scenes: Reductive read and not the only things special about Messiah, but I can’t help thinking of those as proto-Dawn of the Dead.
