Screenshot of the beginning of the opening crawl to Star Wars - Episode IV: A New Hope “It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR…”

After everything during Andor & Rogue One, those first paragraphs of the opening crawl for Episode IV are so sad.

That medal ceremony is going to feel so incomplete at the end. I’ll just imagine that Vel, Wil & Kleya are off somewhere raising a glass to their own heroes of the Rebellion.

Andor was amazing. I was constantly surprised throughout the series by the small ways they evoked so much emotion from me. Beyond the big moments, they filled the quiet parts with all the weight of their fates to come and all the moments from their past that got them there. A+ storytelling.

Got my vote in with 10 minutes to spare!

I watched the new season of Light & Magic on Disney+ and it was a bit depressing in the end. The first season had its sadder moments as well, but this season felt kind of melancholy. Obviously ILM is still going strong, but the moment they try to hype doing Rango after passing on Avatar was rough.

@oriharakaoru.bsky.social Hi! I missed you too!

If you’re going to fight with the orchestra to not play you off, don’t give the world’s dullest speech.

I miss when the #Oscars used to show clips of the nominated performances. I’m happy Kieran Culkin won. Loved his performance.

This is the kind of silly nonsense I enjoy. Conan’s “I won’t waste time dance” with the Dune worm on piano… LOL that’s what I want from a Conan bit at the #oscars

What a lovely opening to the #Oscars. A love letter to LA & Hollywood with a beautiful performance of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

David Lynch in sunglasses saying "i hope you all are having a lot of fun working on your favorite projects"

Honor his memory by doing something strange, unraveling a riddle within yourself, and working on your favorite projects.

excerpt reads: "I hear stories about directors who scream at actors, or they trick them somehow to get a performance. And there are some people who try to run the whole business on fear. But I think this is such a joke -- it's pathetic and stupid at the same time. When people are in fear, they don't want to go to work. So many people today have that feeling. Then the fear starts turning into hate, and they begin to hate going to work. Then the hate can turn into anger and people can become angry at their boss and their work. If I ran my set with fear, I would get 1 percent, not 100 percent, of what I get. And there would be no fun in going down the road together. And it *should* be fun. In work and in life, we're all supposed to get along. We're supposed to have so much fun, like puppy dogs with our tails wagging. It's supposed to be great living; it's supposed to be fantastic."

once again thinking about this passage from David Lynch's book Catching the Big Fish

People might bring up Vincent van Gogh as an example of a painter who did great work in spite of, or because of, his suffering. I like to think that van Gogh would have been even more prolific and even greater if he wasn't so restricted by the things tormenting him. I don't think it was pain that made him so great, I think painting brought him whatever happiness he had. —David Lynch

I don't think it was pain that made him so great, I think painting brought him whatever happiness he had.

RIP David Lynch

David Lynch was a wonderfully creative artist who helped shape my appreciation of weird and imaginative film and tv. Twin Peaks was foundational for me.

Instead of an iconic quote from one of this projects, can I just say that no other filmmaker used silence as well as he did.
