The use of ‘nudify’ apps is becoming more and more prevalent, with hundreds of teachers having seen images created by pupils, often of their peers. The fallout is huge – and growing fast

"Surely it doesn't need to be said that Paul Dano is one of our greatest actors. Anyone who doesn't get that doesn't know what acting is. He's also a brilliant director and writer, a very snappy dresser, and a gigantic mensch." --Tony Kushner

About to watch Kathryn Bigelow's A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE. I'm honestly a bit confused why this movie was made in the first place considering Sidney Lumet already made a literally perfect movie about an accidental nuclear launch ending the world in 1964 with FAIL SAFE.

Rest in Peace, Tammie!
Tammie Rose has passed. She was the head of communications at Tribeca & Sundance she was a lovely person. The fact I got to work with her at times kept me from giving up doing Unseen because I she was nice in dark world.
She will be missed.

Watching BUGONIA. I like how this entire film's color palette and color grading seem to focus primarily on giving Jesse Plemons' facial hair that right, perfect color of autumn wheat yellow.

Rewatching ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA. I think my favorite micro subplots in this very serious, very patriotic wuxia film is when it becomes very important—very important, indeed—that Jet Li's disciples band together to put on a Chinese opera performance like they're Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney.

Quentin Tarantino Blasts Paul Dano As The “Giant Flaw & Weak Sauce” Of ‘There Will Be Blood’
Most filmmakers know better than to publicly torch another director’s film or an actor’s performance, but Quentin Tarantino has never really played by those rules.
