Calibri - Wikipedia

Yeah so the thing is, Calibri is a new font, which means assholes get caught more easily when they try to forge older documents.

It's brought down governments. There's even a "in crime and politics" Wikipedia section.

That's probably what this whole thing is about. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibri...

One of the things that irritates me about defunding the Post Office is that the Post Office is just a great place to go to. People getting presents, sending off Christmas letters, the hustle and bustle of American Capitalism, people meeting people, babes and hunks, get laid at the Post Office folks

Nah, it's because Calibri has been used to root out fraudulent documents. This is to allow for more crimining.

Traffic was SO BAD today, what in Carmageddon is going on? It took more than 90 minutes to go 9 miles this afternoon, and that was hours before rush hour. And it's a Tuesday!

I needed to nap before an all night shoot and traffic ate any chance of that happening. Think unsleepy thoughts for me fam.

And if you happen to have a few LAPD uniforms we could borrow, or know anyone looking to EP a horror short (or who wants to donate to a nonprofit before the end of the year!) please be in touch!

Okay rain, you've made your point. You've already taken the last warm week of the year. What more do you want?!

Bach, you have to stop. Your clavier is too well-tempered. Your concertos too Brandenburg. They’ll kill you

YouTube video by Bananas About Movies The World Is Not Enough - Elektra King death scene

Pierce Brosnan doesn't get enough kudos for great work in THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH. When Bond stares down Elektra King it is a MOMENT.

We hear about Dalton being more of the ruthless, Fleming-esque Bond, but when Brosnan brings menace to the table it means something.

Bond as a conferred identity is dumb.

Bond as a character whose story resets with every new actor is dumb (as much as I hate the Madeleine Swann character with every fiber of my being.)

If you think these things you don't like the Bond series.

And that's okay!

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

What insufferable handwringing. There are a thousand ways Bond could have escaped No Time to Die. If there even is an issue figuring out how, which I doubt, it's probably because they hired writers who don't really like the property and character. Happy to take over for them!

As someone born on the UES who has been riding those buses for 40 years... these are either transplants who don't do public transit or bots. UES buses are usually crowded and not with the terrifying poor. There can be safety issues in towns with low or class-based ridership, but NYC is not that.

Thank you for sharing Marc! It's never too late to shovel your way out of the shit and into the truth.

Accidentally slept til 3PM, woke up for some food, fell asleep again accidentally at 5PM, woke up at 8PM. Daylight Savings is going great so far.

I love HORROR EXPRESS because it's shot mostly in mediums and mostly overly lit with head on key lighting with zero care for continuity and it does not matter AT ALL.

Picture of Lee Grant's book i said yes to everything

Happy possibly 100th birthday to the incomparable Lee Grant!

If employers blindly accept what folks post online without checking up on anything, that's on them. As much as it sucks, people have been faking their cred forever. I know a company devastated by hiring a buzzy SM account who misrepresented their entire past. I've seen filmmakers do it themselves.

The original Goosebumps books were MASSIVELY popular; according to the internet, they were selling over 1 million copies per month and are the 2nd best selling series of all time. So if anyone is being inspired, that's likely the source. But I'm also pretty sure there is TV and literature precedent.

Goosebumps #10 The Ghost Next Door came out in 1993, before either, where the protagonist realizes she's a ghost after suspecting others of being ghosts.

worst landlord special i've ever seen

Deep thoughts brought to you by the windswept fall foliage tumbling throughout SEE NO EVIL, which Richard Fleischer gives us time to feel in our bones but most films today wouldn't.

I think about how social media has destroyed us as artists. While peacocking to the community and comparing ourself to others has always existed, social media makes it pathological. It drives how we hire, who we invest in. We spend our lives as publicists hyping a voice that might not get to exist.

Characters in older movies live in the moment, not in the endless, tumultuous, distracting noise of digital life. It makes me wonder if characters in present movies are inherently less relatable because we have to suspend disbelief to pretend they are living in the moment. Because none of us get to.

In the 1970s of SEE NO EVIL it feels like social interaction is more meaningful and intimate. You could write a letter, sure, but phone calls with a cord wrapped around your finger or time in person was how you communicated. Did that make it less superficial? More connected by being less connected?

The idea that there was a past not devoid of expectation, but devoid of constant, immediate expectation outside a setting like a busy office, seems almost fantasy today. There's Mia Farrow enjoying a horse ride; she has to get job training soon, but she doesn't have emails to answer, notifications.

So I was contemplating while watching SEE NO EVIL (because this film's pace and straightforwardness gives you time to think—not necessarily a bad thing) about what truth we can find in cinema as a historic time capsule, despite the inherent movie-magic fakery of sets, lighting, hair and makeup, etc.

Thanks Howard!
