A getaway driver must wait three minutes for a gang of burglars to return to his car before making their escape.

There’s just one problem...

He’s absolutely desperate for a piss.

How do you compose for a scene where a getaway driver needs to piss himself?

A little behind-the-scenes at the musical process behind the short film “Full Tank”.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

The modern world is a fun guessing game to determine whether your brain fog is the result of your phone addiction, your covid infections, or the lead you eat for breakfast.

As someone who went through a phase of having at least one scoop of protein powder a day for four or five years: wow cool.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Pure Cookie Clicker JRPG brainrot. The number must tick higher. I will not spend it but it must go higher.

@ Grokkoli is this true

Jonathan Williams @realjonwilliams.bsky.social · 2d

The melody is alternating dominant chords that promise to arrive somewhere, but instead take you to more dominant chords, so the result is that you are in a continued tension that never really resolves.

That way, it felt like even the film’s musical score would haunt the driver with the temptation to go for a piss.

Once these were decided, the music was built outwards from these sounds.

Before finding the melody or rhythm, the foundation was built with textures. Composers Guillermo and Daniel experimented with water droplets, hollow plastic thuds, sand, ticking clock elements.

Early on, we established that we wanted the music to take itself dead seriously, despite the film’s comedic premise. Much of the comedy comes from the juxtaposition of the more conventional thriller aesthetics and the silliness of the content.

Evening viewing recommendation? Watch A BETTER TOMORROW (1986) on our Hong Kong Action Classics collection! The box-office sensation that established director John Woo as the king of 1980s Hong Kong action cinema and set the standard for the heroic bloodshed genre.

Christ the River of Hills sequence in One Battle After Another was such a spectacle to behold on Vistavision I might just have to go see it on IMAX as well.

In a single content drop, @criterionchannl.bsky.social just became the best streaming service by far — for the Hong Kong / John Woo collection alone, and that’s still only scratching the surface. Look at this

The ending of Pelham 123 simply would not hit without That Face

Why's the background got like these faint lines like a computer chip or something. Why aren't they using the God Mode posters Tony Stella did, unless that's just for the Arrow Video release in the UK?

When I say freezing I mean literally freezing. Freezing as in "the rain machine froze and we had to defrost it" freezing. But they all pushed through and I can't be grateful enough.
