“Good and evil both increase at compound interest. ... The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of.”

Drew Struzan was such an amazingly talented and warm hearted guy. Greg Nicotero told me Drew was selling his originals back in 2011, so I went to Drew’s studio with the intention of buying the Spykids art he made back in 2000. Drew was so generous, he refused to have me pay for it, and instead he handed me the originals. (Including a drawing he had made of me in his trademark style!)
Such a gift!
His studio was amazing, and getting to see his process and art space made me decide to buy one of his masterworks. I had him bring out two of my favorites, The THING and FIRST BLOOD.
We took pictures posing like the characters as I mulled them both over, they were both truly stunning. Art books cannot even come close to capturing the detail and magic of his original art.
Since I had worked with Stallone, I went with First Blood, which I feel is one of his very best paintings and portraits.
I will cherish the memories of that magical day spent with him and his wonderful wife, so proudly displaying his incredible art and sharing the stories that went with them.
Here’s to the great Drew Struzan.

Diane Keaton was in so many great films. She was an amazing ensemble player who held her ground and always made a role memorable. Some, she made immortal.
The volume of seething resentment, envy and rampant bias crammed into this article is staggering.

Kier Starmer's masterplan to save Labour: tell everyone how bad Reform are. Exactly the same stupid tactic employed by the Democrats in the US. Look how that went.
100% reactive, 0% visionary and GUARANTEED to deliver a victory for Farage & co.

Craig Mod on Tim Ferriss is why long form exists. And you have to stay to the end of part 2 - incredibly moving.

Heat is (probably) the greatest heist movie ever made. And one of its core ingredients is Val Kilmer. I feel sad he's gone.
Paddy Hemingway was shot down four times in his 20s. He lived till 105. I guess it's not your time, till it's your time.

Nice one. This was the first Nic Roeg film I ever saw. I think I was about 13. It had a density to it that really knocked me… I felt like I’d been invited into a secret adult world of corruption and danger.

I rarely read a review I agree with but this one nailed it for me.

Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist has actual great acting in it. Adrien Brody is everything we aspire to witness as filmmakers. Guy Pearce’s ballast is absolutely perfect. Had a few questions and frustrations by the end, but that first half especially is unequivocally magnificent. 🔥
