In the latest POKER FACE, Sam Richardson plays a character who hates motion smoothing so much that he brings a universal remote everywhere to change the settings of TVs he encounters out in the wild.

I’m ecstatic: we finally get Motion Smoothing Hater representation out there at last.

The greatest David Lynch thing I’ve ever seen was a 1 minute short in an anthology called Lumière and Company. A bunch of filmmakers had 1 shot for 1 minute; everyone else produced various fairly static scenes, little movement, no possibility of cuts. Then Lynch does this: youtu.be/p7EJwCr5Yew?...

Bruce McGill goes so hard in this immaculate scene from The Insider that he busted his stitches from a surgery six weeks prior to shooting
McGill as Ron Motley in The Insider wearing a dark suit, blue collared shirt, and a dark patterned tie. his hair is salt and pepper, though mostly pepper at this point. his face is bright red and contorted in anger. the courtroom is a bit bleak but the ceiling, which occupies almost half of the frame, has a nice geometric pattern happening between square panels and flat square lights. everything has a slight blue-green tint to it. a very small, out-of-focus Russell Crowe is on the stand behind him, there is also a fan and an American flag visible. caption reads "Wipe that smirk off your face!" a closeup on McGill's still-red, still-angry face, looking down at his off-screen antagonist (you can't see him, but it's Wings Hauser). he takes up a little over half of the right side of the frame, on the left behind him is a very blurry/out-of-focus Crowe. caption reads "Dr. Wigand's deposition will be part of this record!" a closeup on McGill's face - same as prior screenshot. caption reads "And I'm gonna take my witness's testimony..." a closeup on McGill's face - mostly the same as prior 2 screenshots, though he takes up almost the entire frame now. caption reads "...whether the hell you like it or not!"
