What year was it that it seemed *every* film had a donkey in it? Well, honeybees are this year's donkey.

Genius

Whenever someone mentions #TheOutsiders I have to share this. If you love the film or book, pls listen. Randy Shanofsky was one of my ACs on #AllRise. His story is magical. Enjoy. "A young movie nerd from LA finds himself in Tulsa, OK, on the set of Coppola’s redemption film, “The Outsiders.."

Jafar Panahi is a genius. If you're a lover of film, I don't have to convince you. No one does big impact with so little props, (expensive, elaborate) locations etc. His writing, casting etc is inspiring. Just wow. #ItWasJustAnAccident #nfotd www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF04...

Good article. Do you best not to say "I told you so" after each sentence. Try. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/i...

I'm continuing my Korean language studies. Adding to French, Spanish & Portuguese. One of the biggest reasons why I enjoy learning Korean is, of the 4 languages, Koreans are SO enthusiastic when I say anything. They compliment my pronunciation. They may be lying? I don't care. Its encouraging.

How I feel about the whole Olivia Nuzzi story is that there are a lot of talented, ethical, underemployed or unemployed black and brown journalists right now who are ready to work.

For S&G I watched #JurassicWorldRebirth by Gareth Edwards. Dinosaurs VFX/Art etc is very beautiful. #nfotd

#TheConjuringLastRites was a good horror romp. The first of the series will always be my fav + most gratifying. But this was enjoyable. Cohesive story. And I think the best cinematography of the bunch. Strong compositions. Stronger approach to lighting. Shot by Eli Born. youtu.be/FSAz556s0fM

Speaking of French New Wave, this is the film I was named after. I've never seen this Oscar clip before. Pretty dry. The film is beautiful and depressing AF because hashtag French. youtu.be/uu8xwYcr8RE?...

#NouvelleVague was super fun, especially if you are familiar with all of these characters. And I assume everyone is. By Richard Linklater. #nfotd www.youtube.com/watch?v=UufR...

Yay! #TheConjuringLastRites is now on HBO. Perfect thing to watch on this rainy Friday morning.

You can turn it off in the app too!

"They are outside, and we are outside, and we are on bikes. So, what can we do?” Said Cyclingxsolidarity co-founder Rick Rosales. “So, let's raise some money and buy them out so they can go home for the rest of the day and be safe with their families.”

I went into #ILoveLA kicking and screaming (maybe not that dramatic, but close) ... and I love it.

Absolutely cannot wait to bust down the doors for a drink made by a company whose unionized workers are on strike in a store that doesn’t want to hire minorities anymore.

“There are More of Us”.#Hollywood.#35mm Shooting street photography on film is consistently humbling. I just got three rolls of film back from processing. I always think every image is a waste the first time I review my scans. Days later suddenly some are worth sharing.

This evening's film was #Belen out of Argentina. Based on a true story. Dir by Dolores Fonzi. #nfotd youtu.be/gQQdv9k6t0w

Black people everywhere:

#MartySupreme blimp has been circling our neighborhood all day. Once that would be fun. But now I expect surveillance. (Not really. Well). Its orange. And also makes me think of #ChildrenOfMen. I wish it were a flying pig.

Women would Erivo-Yeo this sitch. Men just Goldblum it.

I did something fun today. I was guest lecturer at Emerson's Film School Today's class focused on my work on #ALeagueOfTheirOwn episode "Stealing Home" (e106). We talked technical approach & working with a Showrunner/Director. Q&A about set politics & collab with Prod Designer. Students were lovely

Not sure how many episodes I need to watch of this doc series, but interesting that theres a doc about HBO's Bunny Ranch. I completely forgot about it. It used to be - or so I heard - that DPs "had" to work on that show to break into HBO. I never did til much later so I dont know if thats true.

Watched doc " #BadActor- A Hollywood Ponzi Scheme" last night. An actor, with no talent, starts a ponzi scheme to pay for roles in films. What a tragic mess. By Joslyn Jensen. On Hulu youtu.be/2esBIipWUvE?...

A controlled color palette is my love language. Clearly #TheSecretAgent was hitting on me. LOVED. Story, cast, score and visuals. Not shot like a typical crime thriller. Lots of unexpected moments. Dir by Kleber Mendonça Filho. Stars Wagner Moura whom we love. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nNA...

Is it just me or does it seem like there are a lot less films to see theatrically bc of their cinematography than last year? (Talking specifically about FYC season).

"All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain." (not a random quote, more a cinematic scripture)

Repost this everywhere you’re active on social media. Send to your friends and family who aren’t.

If I was still teaching film, I’d want to have a convo w my students abt #Eddington #OneBattleAfterAnother + #HellOrHighWater. Throw in #NoCountryForOldMen & #Sicario. And whatever else they’d find relevant. Have 20m left of Eddington & have thoughts Too many + not interesting enough for a BS thread

This LA weather calls for - DEMANDS - Challah bread French toast, with a drop of Tahitian vanilla in the batter topped with bourbon maple syrup, Irish butter and sliced strawberries. And lightest dusting of confectioners sugar. Cooked in coconut oil until the edges are crispy. Of course.
