Speaking of serial killers - #DevilInDisguise on Peacock is a really well done series. One of the best I can recall based on a true crime serial killer. Solid cinematography. Strong acting. Emphasis on the lives of the victims and their families. youtu.be/0GN0aALClVA

Hilarious. I love this line, ”That financial strain has coincided with a more intangible challenge: a loss of connection with the company’s core customers.”

#Apex on Netflix with Charlize Theron was directed by Baltasar Kormákur, who did both #Trapped and #Katla. Two Icelandic series I really enjoyed. Highly rec.

Switchback (1997).

Just finished Tommy Orange's "There There". Already bought his "Wandering Stars". It was the kind of book that makes one feel that they need to write and tell their story. Powerful eloquent and painful quick read. I'd love a series focused on the "Urban Native American" community. Or feature film

Working on my next Substack about my recent trip to Panama. I always ignore Google’s AI answers and usually click on Wikipedia. But this was the AI’s answer to Geisha Coffee. Why does this give me so much joy? FYI Geisha beans are named after Gesha Forest in Ethiopia & are a specialty in Panama

I spoke to the DP about the show last a couple years ago if you're interested! www.frameandrefpod.com/133-criminal...

Season One of #CriminalRecord was deeply satisfying. Not quite as good but still fed my #RedRiding addiction. Excited there is a Season Two. On Apple TV

I'm almost finished with the "Someone's Hurting Us" podcast. I hope someone turns it into a doc or film. These stories live longer and hit harder with visuals. Black women were the victims. But they were also the ones who took down the serial killer. (You know you want that movie)

"With the rise of AI performers such as Tilly Norwood and recent news of Doug Limon’s upcoming AI-generated feature “Bitcoin: Killing Satoshi,” an initiative aimed at giving filmmakers a way of celebrating human artistry behind and in front of the camera has now launched."

This evening I am watching #MaigretVoitRouge (1963) by Gilles Grangier on @kanopy.com. French Gangster / Detective film. More procedural than action. I'm a sucker for French crime films with a jazzy score. #nfotd www.youtube.com/watch?v=uB6R...

Currently watching #FridayFoster (1975) by Arthur Marks. With Pam Grier, Yaphet Kotto, Carl Weathers, Eartha Kitt "While investigating a plot to assassinate politicians, magazine photographer Friday Foster becomes a target herself." #nfotd youtu.be/8aLgp1798RA?...

Alegria #CascoViejo #PanamaCity. Taken during my recent trip to Panama. Alas I didn’t buy a hat. But I did feel the joy.

I was out of the country for a week, away from English speaking TV with only a handful of hours on BS. I highly recommend the break. This morning I am catching up on all of my HBO viewing. Next up is #TheComeback whose AI subplot gives me hope. Of all of the LA shows, this one resonates the most.

Watching #Euphoria, I had my best idea all year. Alexa Demie (aka Maddy) should play Cher in a biopic. Not just how she looks, but her performance in S3E2 felt very feisty & brilliant “Cher-ish.“ Someone needs to make this happen. Kthx.

God bless the limited series. I know lots of folks are championing a return to 21 episodes per season, multi seasons etc etc. But Im finally finishing #DTFStLouis. What a gem of a show. Only possible as a limited series.

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

"Nearly the entire department has been let go." I can't imagine how devastating this is for those who worked at Disney and Marvel. It should be mentioned in this article that Marvel Studios moved from Georgia to the UK in 2025. .

So cool!

This evening I am watching #WhoKilledTeddyBear (1965) by Joseph Cates. TCM called it a “noir”. Sure. It’s an overtly sexual psychological thriller. Cast: Sal Mineo, Juliet Prowse, Jan Murray And Elaine Stritch. Watched on @tcmtv.bsky.social #nfotd youtu.be/sRPcgUiR6U0?...

I thought I deleted my IG in April 2025. Was actually January. I was gonna celebrate the anniversary. Alas. The big questions are (asked by friends still on IG & myself) have I lost out on work or "important" networking since leaving? Has it hurt me not to promote my work on that platform? No idea.

Send him in.

Last night I was sharing my experiences of visiting Shanghai. Unless people have been to China, I think these moments are hard to visualize. My fav is the man walking his Llama. I'm not sure who the two on the left are cosplaying as. The two on the right remind me of being in S Korea.

If you have never, or not in a while, seen the film #TheConformist, please do so asap. I think (?) its streaming for free on @kanopy.com. Its also available to rent on Apple. Director Bertolucci, DP Storaro, Prod Designer Scarfiotti www.youtube.com/watch?v=04kM...

I wanted to learn more about AI, beyond how it affects the film industry. This was a good start. It's from Sam Harris' "Making Sense" podcast. The episode is "Escaping an Anti Human Future". Its informative. Kinda grim. wakingup.libsyn.com/469-escaping...

Now watching #TheRooster. Was curious because I heard its shot on the Black Magic. And um, all of the music is pure Gen X Playlist.
