@JosephKahn Is it shooting handheld anamorphic in scope with a Kodak Vision3 LUT on top?

@thejoshl Idk about this take. The handheld pov style heightens the tension. It’s a survival film. Would filming it any other way make it any better? That’s like saying Slawomir Idziak should’ve shot Black Hawk Down like he shot Three Colours Blue. Different genres and sensibilities.

the last of us pilot is really good if you’re measuring it by how silly it feels to watch a russian arthouse cinematographer forced to recreate the exact compositions and camera movements of the opening cutscene of the game

@JosephKahn @Noahpinion I think you mean big studio movies. None of the directors of Passing, Last Black Man in SF and Blindspotting were black (Rebecca Hall, Joe Talbot, Carlos López Estrada).

@JosephKahn Y’all really turned Brad Pitt into Klaus Kinski

BACK TO THE FUTURE Harry Styles as Marty Mcfly Miley Cyrus as Jennifer Parker Brad Pitt as Biff Tannen Anthony Hopkins as Doc Brown

@JosephKahn Can't tell if this is a compliment or insult...

@vulture @jenniferzhann Correction it states: in April 2003 that Jude Law was going to star in Memento which came out in 2000…

Here’s a timeline of all the allegations made against #Amsterdam director David O. Russell throughout the course of his career. @jenniferzhann: vult.re/3y0JV40

@JosephKahn I agree! It has everything to do with the prez and nothing to do with the war, chip shortage, and inherently cyclical nature of the market.

@mattzollerseitz Transit, Undine, Memoria, Nitram, Petite Maman, Call Me By Your Name. Basically most films which go to Cannes, TIFF, Berlin etc.

What are some good, recent — within the last 5 years – examples of low budget movies with excellent, lifelike color correction? Kind of a documentary vibe but lush looking, with light that looks like what the eye might actually see?

@EugenePerel Play the last round life as if it weren’t the last! I think it’s as much about mindset since that informs the physical.

My student keeps on blundering in last rounds likely due to fatigue. Any advice?

@natesolon The Amateur’s Mind by Jeremy Silman, also Silman’s Endgame Course!

Which chess book had the biggest impact on your game?

@JosephKahn How about on a volume

@Reuters Chilling!

The wreckage of polar explorer Ernest Shackleton's ship ‘Endurance,’ which was crushed by Antarctic ice and sank some 10,000 feet to the ocean floor more than a century ago, has been found reut.rs/3tIhfd3

@kylebuchanan Great, his films are very naturalistic and contain an essence that is unique to Japan, moving to Hollywood would kill that IMO. Directors like Bong and Park Chan-wook could do it bc their films always fit into the Hollywood mold.

I asked DRIVE MY CAR director Ryusuke Hamaguchi if Hollywood has come calling now that he’s been nominated for several Oscars. Here’s what he said.

@SergeyKaryakin Sergey: My reality is completely confined to a couple pictures, stories, and my personal experience. I think pictures of a couple Ukranians is representative of a country of 44 million people. I am not very smart :(.

These are not new photos, but they are well known. Would you like to walk down the street with guys like that? This is Ukraine!

@thestrongchess @chesscom I'm at a similar rating, I feel chess com players are a lot stronger than lichess for the same rating (even over 2300 imo), what do you think?

Four years of blitz progress on @chesscom

@mattgreencomedy You need to play Mark Zuckerberg

David Davis rehearses for #PMQs

@JosephKahn Probably bc of lunch no? All the above becomes ineffective if crew are eating meals together.

And they were all masked, vaccinated, and social distanced due to union rules. We're all catching Covid, period.

@archillect looks like a Fincher film.

@chess24com Maybe he’s trying to enact a self-fulfilling prophecy, de-motivate all the other players since they know they won’t get to play him and motivate Firouzja even more.

Carlsen announces that his match against Nepomniachtchi likely was his last, unless Firouzja wins the Candidates: "It’s been clear to me for most of the year that this World Championship should be the last. It doesn’t mean as much anymore as it once did." chess24.com/en/read/news/c…

Beginning of the match: 😑 Middle: 🤩 End: 😔 #CarlsenNepo #FIDEMatch
