Guy next to me on this flight spent 45 minutes watching a video podcast interview with Doug Ellin, then immediately opened the HBO app and started season 1 episode 1 of Entourage.

(posting from my alt, Cig Ads That Go Hard) "oooooooh shit, shots fired!" *four days later* "Cigarette Ads That Go Hard never intended to to create controversy or imply in any way that the attacks of September 11th were justified OR the result of cigarettes. Please accept our deepest apologies."
A cigarette ad from 1988 in a print magazine that features a NY skyline predominately featuring the twin towers. In the foreground, with a bit of Hobbit-esque forced perspective photography, a pack of "SUPERKINGS" cigs are standing proud. Bot the cigs and the towers are cast in a golden sunset glow.
The ad text reads:
"There are kings. And there are SUPERKINGS.

The ABC copter team covers the tragic crash and death of the NBC copter team. There's probably some specific Latin or German philosophy term for this kind of situation where the tool that caused the tragedy is also the best tool for learning about the tragedy, but I'm just gonna call it "fucked up."

I am begging video podcasts to find any other background aesthetic. There are so many talented designers and art directors you can hire instead of doing this.

lol at this guy who has spent years starting every letterboxd review of a billy crystal movie lamenting his death
The death of Billy Crystal made this film a hard watch today, but according to his character Buddy Young Jnr, his career had been dead for years. 

Mr. Saturday Night was Crystal's directorial debut back inThe death of Billy Crystal had all of us Western fans lamenting the fact that the New York City born actor had only made two films in our beloved genre, but what an impact he left. City Slickers from 1991 was the shot in the arm the genre needed The death of Billy Crystal didn't come as much of a shock to most people, he's been dead inside for years, ever since he stopped presenting The Oscars in fact, but can anyone tell me the last good movie he starred in?

Latest sewing project: I ordered a sick Ben Davis workwesr crewneck off eBay (I grew up in the Bay Area) but turns out the "XL" was sized for a different market and thus far too small for me. So... I turned it into a crop for my wife. Happy with the results and jealous it was never gonna fit me.

I'm sorry to say that David Zaslav and other studio execs are not going to learn the proper lesson that withholding a film for a write-off is bad. They will attribute the film's success to the genius idea of creating false scarcity that generated free marketing.

Film tax credits are a band-aid solution that will fail without a follow-up plan. Just ask Michigan, Louisiana and Georgia how the one-step plan worked out for them. Producing studios will always seek the cheaper market while you race to the bottom with subsidies. Also, this is embarrassing.

Cosign a lot of this, especially the lighting compromises made from adding 2nd and 3rd cameras before lighting the shot. Traditionally, block the scene, set the lens, light the shot, THEN add additional cameras AS NEEDED. Now the common expectation is to add a 2nd and 3rd lens from the jump.

I rewatched Reno 911! on Prime Video and it's really wild how random episodes will be unnecessarily cropped into 16x9 ratio from the original 4:3. All of season 1 = Cropped. Then season 2 is like one in every 3 is cropped while the others are in native 4:3. Who made this decision?

Unfortunate to discover that the California MyFirstEV program is fully dependant on manufacturers and dealerships opting in. Abolish dealerships. Forget making this a dealer rebate. Make it a tax deduction or independent rebate. It's paid for by CA tax dollars so why are we beholden to dealers?

"KEEP EMAILING MY WIFE!"
An Acapulco restaurant cantina I drive by sometimes that has up two vinyl banners that read "WE ARE VERY OPEN" one of them even has an exclamation point. These signs went up once in-person dining came back five years ago and somehow management decided keeping the "pick me" desperation was their entire vibe.
