This book was so damn good. Great reminder of what made cinema of the 70’s so incredible. Authenticity was everything. Character actors as leads. Interesting over beautiful. Hollywood taking risks. It’s coming back. I see it in all the great indies and original horror. I’m ready.

Brutal short film by @lukebarnett.bsky.social

"It was inspired by watching Joaquin Phoenix during ‘Eddington’s’ ovation at Cannes. You can tell it affected him and meant a lot… for about 45 seconds. After that, I’m guessing his soul slowly and uncomfortably died."

Oh I know, I was just doing the jokes because I like carbs.

Texted my agent the second I heard the news.

This is what I want the star of your movie to look like.

This is what I want the star of your movie to look like.

Yes, I’m biased, but I promise when you cast me as the haggard 1970’s detective on your cop drama, audiences will thank you.

I know this is a joke but it really does go to show why movies were better back in the day. People looking relatable, even if very attractive, is way more interesting than everyone looking perfect. Bring back the leading actors who look like they’ve been through some shit.

Thank you so much!
