As much as I think this is entirely unnecessary and probably a bad idea, I am taking a certain perverse joy in trying to figure out how you would even attempt to fill Duvall and Jones' tremendous boots. Maybe Ethan Hawke for Gus and Michael Shannon for Call? deadline.com/2026/09/lone...

LA, come see one of the great seduction scenes in all of cinema, on the big screen. Cut by one of the best to ever do it; the lady who gave us the Lawrence of Arabia Match Cut; Anne V. Coates. Rarely have two actors smouldered like Clooney and J.Lo do here. www.academymuseum.org/programs/det...

Started S5 of For All Mankind last night, and so glad to be back in that world. The slow boil of each season progressively becoming more sci-fi has brought us to a proto-The Expanse world by the 2010s. Really excellent storytelling, scratching that DS9-era Trek itch that modern Trek has left behind.

@iamlazarusjones.bsky.social and I went to House of Kong last night, and it was so cool. Even I, a casual Gorillaz enjoyer, thought it was brilliant. Definitely some traces of Punchdrunk flavors in there, that made me miss Burnt City and Sleep No More all over again.

Do we think that final freeze and push-in from the S2 finale of Severance last night was done optically when they printed the 35mm film-out, or created digitally and then filmed out from the online edit with freeze and zoom baked in?

My feature film editorial hot take: No one who knows anything about Post should think that The Brutalist Respeecher "controversy" is awards disqualifying. We steal consonants & vowels from different reads all the time. 2 mins of augmented Hungarian does not invalidate the rest of the performance.

Anyone played with Resolve's Speed Editor peripheral? I'm gonna buy a Studio license before the end of the year, and I'm wondering if it's worth the extra $75 for the speed editor as well, or if it's another piece of gear that will sit in my closet, until I inevitably give it away a decade from now.
