“Conversation with Smaug”, by JRR Tolkien, for 1937’s “The Hobbit”.
I’ve no idea what state of mind Tolkien was in when he painted it. But every time I’ve seen it, and I’ve seen it a lot, I get the impression that he was having a really great time. It’s so zestful, in its details & as a whole.

The "Frieren angle" thing, apart from just being delightful, also completely demolishes the pathetic "AI is democratising art" argument. Someone struggling with a difficult drawing received advice from hundreds of strangers who just wanted to help them improve their art.

My top 3 can't-miss movie cliches:
1. Sequels that have actors come back as an identical relative of their character who died in the previous movie.
2. Nudity that's absurdly obscured by the mise en scène.
3. Soundtrack in a scene is revealed to be diegetic.

The squib in Nakadai's death scene in Sanjuro was so explosively bloody that the other actors were stunned in legitimate shock. Kurosawa kept that very first take in the final film.
