BFI screening for House of Dynamite. Great to see Kathryn Bigelow in person.

It’s amazing how Fallout improves upon the weaknesses of Westworld. (Lack of narrative momentum, humor, character depth, overly complicated back story/twists)

Fallout just blows away other blockbuster shows like House of the Dragon or The Last of Us in its craft.
It’s so tactile. CGI compositing blends so well with the location shoots and sets. It doesn’t have the weird flat lighting that plagues other shows.

SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING #24, script by Alan Moore, my pencils.
Note that I'd so 'nailed' letterer John Costanza's sizing that I not only placed all balloons and captions, but I also roughed in Alan's script text. This guaranteed no lettering issues before John Totleben got the page for inking.

The Agency is incredible. The best spy show I’ve ever watched? Refreshing to watch a show about spycraft after so many shows with everyone fighting like John Wick.

Hoping that global audience gets more familiar with Lee Byung Hyun with Squid Games 2.
Lee is both the biggest movie star and actor in Korea.

Guy Ritchie has been on a special run. He has been making great genre films after another. Ritchie is making films with craft and personality that people miss.
I can’t emphasize enough how good these films look because colors really pop.
Wish the studios weren’t burying them.

Harrison Ford is really underrated as an actor because he is the greatest movie star ever.
His range is really under appreciated. Don’t think Hanks, Denzel, Cruise, or Leo can pull off what Ford did in BR, Frantic, or Presumed Innocent during the peak movie star run.

Fede is a really good interviewer in the Ridley DGA podcast.
Fede asks Ridley if he had to keep only one of his films, which one he would keep. As usual, Ridley says all of them.
But he eventually answers… and it is heartbreaking.

Very good DGA podcast with Ridley Scott and Fede Alvarez. Ridley gives a breakdown of his process, which is interesting given Mathieson’s baffling interview.

This is a great analysis of Gladiator 2 in the context of Ridley’s late films
From recreation through the destruction, the desire to own and control life, and makeup caked madmen who fancy themselves great emperors, I discuss Gladiator II in the context of Alien: Covenant and the rest of Ridley Scott’s post- 2016 filmography. #GladiadorII
In ‘Gladiator II,’ Ridley Scott Sifts Through the Past to See Our Future
"The filmmaker stares down the world as it rolls forward, a chariot holding all we could be," writes Richard Newby in an essay on the epic sequel.
