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.

For folks who haven't seen the writing board, this is what the Breaking Bad Writer's Room created before a writer would go off to write a script. 1st scene I wrote is at the end of Act 2. If you can see the diff in handwriting: Vince wrote cards for Teaser thru 2, I wrote 3&4.

Denzel Washington: “We’re all slaves to information now. We really are. We’re all slaves. So whatever you feel about the leaders, like this guy’s crazy or the other one is sane, you’d better realize you’re being manipulated by both sides. Period.” variety.com/2024/politics/ne…

“When God made man the devil was at his elbow. A creature that can do anything. Make a machine. And a machine to make the machine. And evil that can run itself a thousand years, no need to tend it.”—Cormac McCarthy, BLOOD MERIDIAN

Further evidence if needed that this is Dylan’s greatest tour. I know people would usually opt for ‘66 but this is my fave because:
1. ’73-’76 contains the best vocals of his entire career
2. The audience aren’t booing
3. He had more songs
4. Levon

Rest of the Quote:
"Their pettiness and egos and power-mongering are held up to be laughed at. It’s a comedy, even though it’s made up of a series of perfectly crafted unfortunate events. There’s quite a bit of trolling in it, which is a quality you always find in Kubrick’s films. Its sense of humor is very dark, which I love.
The visual world of Barry Lyndon is unbelievable. I often pause the film when I’m watching it just so I can look at it as if it were a painting in a museum. It’s my favorite Kubrick."

"'Barry Lyndon' (1975) contains what I believe is at the heart of Kubrick’s work—that people are really, really small in the face of history, time, space. All of the characters are like dust, as if they just might blow away any moment & disappear."
--- Celine Song

Wish the Coens and FX would green-light a miniseries set in the world of NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, twenty years after Sheriff Bell’s retirement. Wendell would be sheriff and @garretdillahunt could reprise his role. Could be amazing, much like FX’s FARGO.
