A friend of mine once worked on a show with Isiah Whitlock Jr and because he knew how much I loved The Wire, he did a foolish thing and asked Isiah to record a birthday video greeting for me - he hit me with the full “shiiiiiiit,” delivered like only he could. RIP

Sentimental Value: must be the first time I truly bought what Trier was aiming for.

I've been directing commercials for quarter of the century now and I've noticed that the older I get, the less I have the tendency to cut on the movement. It feels good ngl.

At the end of August I quit smoking AND stopped drinking Coca-Cola on the same day. Weirdly enough, I don't miss cigarettes but have cravings for the latter every day.

Criterion The Battle of Algiers disc sold-out when.

Have been playing Split Fiction with my 8yo. After beating one of the mid-game bosses she proclaimed it to be the best game ever made. That said, still trying to figure out its stance on celebrating creativity as we are being bombarded with scenarios directly lifted from famous movies, videogames.

I just asked AI to help with a certain translation and thanked it accidentally afterwards. Scoring survival points in case of AI apocalypse?

Haven't seen that many 2024 movies, but so far Furiosa, Rebel Ridge and The Beast are the best of the year. Need to rewatch Dune 2 to see if it fits there.

Having a blast playing the new Indiana Jones game. It’s kind of like Dishonored for casuals but in the best way possible.

It's been a while since I've bought any blu-rays or UHDs, but all these BF deals made me empty the wallet. The Keep 4k from VS is probably the one I'm most excited about and I don't even think it is all that great.
