Some great writing from Todd Farmer. Heartbreaking, then inspirational, a call for empathy in a world that doesn't always seem capable of it. And now I'm excited to check out his novels, too!

Break a leg (x3)!

Yes please.

😂 I’m disappointed I can even SORT OF understand it. In ‘English’.

I legit LOL’d at this thread. Sorry to perpetuate the problem with the last sentence - but it had to be said.

Steven’s Selects: indie champion Steven Soderbergh on his favorite films across nine decades • Journal • A Letterboxd Magazine To celebrate his Nitehawk Cinema season, Steven Soderbergh tells Isaac Feldberg how he selected nine films to program, why Spike Lee should have beaten him for the Palme d’Or, how Ernst Lubitsch inspi...

Steven Soderbergh sat down to discuss his favorite films—from DO THE RIGHT THING to FARGO and LOST IN TRANSLATION—for @letterboxd.social and shared his theory we reached peak cinema at the end of New Hollywood, as well as his stance that Spike Lee should've won the Palme d'Or that year at Cannes.

Love seeing all the success for this film! It's a treat when Canadian films can delight and be unabashedly Canadian. #NTBTSTM

A must-watch:

‘People keep reinventing the same damn movie’: cinematographer Roger Deakins on 50 years behind the camera and his fears for film’s future This master craftsman’s work has lit up everything from Bond to Blade Runner 2049. But as he publishes his memoir, why does he believe the artform he made his name in is in such decline?

Jeez they just can't get out of their own way.

My parents died a couple years before smartphones, and the only audio I ever had of them were voicemails that they’d left on whatever landline I had when they died, deleted when I moved and changed numbers. The writer’s longing to hear his dad’s voice one more time is palpable. Great read.

my 75yo mother told me last night that she’s planning to delete Instagram and Facebook because she’s sick of not being able to tell what’s AI and what’s not, and I genuinely don’t think tech companies have reckoned with this kind of move as an actual possibility

Thank you James!! Happy New Year.

"A scene in a script should never be longer in number of pages than it has number of characters." In short, a two person scene should never be longer than 2 pages.

Scott & I include a long dialog scene in every one of our movies that we are ALWAYS told is too long and will be cut, then never is.

This is really, really good, and gets to the heart of what I love about PLURIBUS: It's a story about an author who gets everything she wants -- security, adoring fans, endless time to write -- and won't stop looking for the catch.

A director who never wanted to overshadow his movies, Rob Reiner always imbued his work with heartfelt humanity. The Letterboxd community looks back at the many great films from a giant of American cinema. boxd.it/2Tq

Extract from Rob Reiner's Wikipedia Filmography 1986 - Stand By zme 1987 - The Princess Bride 1989 - When Harry Met Sally 1990 - Misery 1992 - A Few Good Men

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Us: Across your entire career?

Reiner: In a 6 year period.

Us: That sounds-

Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.
