Wow: “Mocap is a crystallization of the fundamentals of cinematography minus the inheritance of photography, perspective, resolution, and even beauty.”

Ted Hope for all creatives: “Passion does not remove the need for economics that benefit all that are involved. In some ways, it makes that need more urgent, because passion industries are particularly vulnerable to exploitation.” #indiefilm

After one hour of waiting for road service and 911 help to make it safe, a stranger, Raoul, stopped his truck with flashers. He guided me forward enough to get farther away from the traffic. Got out his jack and power tools and changed the tire for me. All for a handshake. I must pay it forward.

Last night my left front tire blew out stranding me on the entrance ramp to I40 in Raleigh. Changing the tire would mean kneeling in the right lane of the (merging) ramp. Road service said call 911. 911 understood - I could change the tire but it was unsafe without bright flashing lights.

The whole idea of writing is to organise one's thinking, and to communicate those thoughts. It's actually part of the thinking process. To present a second hand summary of everyone's past thoughts, as one's own, defeats the object.

My new PERISPHERE blog post is up! Monte Hellman’s TWO-LANE BLACKTOP reflects the way our lives move too fast, just as the lives of its stars did. Check it out! www.perisphere.org/2026/08/30/d...

Death Race on the Road to Nowhere – Perisphere

|Wil McMillen| Two-Lane Blacktop is a curious, dense race movie in which almost no racing actually happens. Instead, the film is haunted by the passage of time, by the feeling that life has passed you...

#Republicans ❤️ to take credit for legislation they voted against. #GOPHypocrisy

Tweet from Steven Havre

Trump is taking a victory lap because
prescription drug prices just fell 3.1%, the
biggest drop since 1963.

Cute.

Medicare's first negotiated drug prices
kicked in this year, cutting prices on 10
major drugs by 38% to 79%. The out of
pocket cap came from the same law.

That law?

Biden's Inflation Reduction Act.
Not. One. Republican. Voted. For. It.
Republicans love Democratic legislation
once there's a ribbon to cut.

Filmmaking is one of those careers where you never really stop learning. 🎬 Every film brings new challenges, new mistakes, new people and new lessons. The goal isn’t to know everything. It’s to take what you learned on the last film and make the next one better. Keep creating.

this sort of stuff needs to be banned outright, not mandated. that cars have any surveillance capabilities in it's self should also be taken and treated as an act of war and all that entails.

autos.yahoo.com

Surveillance cameras will be required in all new cars by 2027

Buying a new car in a few years won’t just be about horsepower or fuel economy. By 2027, every new vehicle in the U.S. is expected to come with built-in cameras and sensors that monitor your alertness...

The death penalty doesn't bring justice — it only perpetuates the cycle of violence. No one should be killed by the state. The time to end the racist, unjust, and cruel death penalty is NOW.
