I’ve just seen the next evolution in cinematic storytelling. Everything about this film is next level. I’ve never seen anything merge fact and filmic storytelling quite like this. It blurs reality with a cinematic style as revolutionary as Citizen Kane. This has to win Best Picture this year. I’m afraid every other contender is an also-ran. Go and see it. It will open your eyes to the human condition. @A24 #YouCanSeeEverything @nathanfielder @ElizabethHolmes @TheAcademy @BAFTA

Call me pedantic, but I think one of the skills needed to be Bond is good acting chops. O'Connor has chops and range. Of the 3 being tested he's always been my pick. Hoping this gossip is true!

Btw, no disrespect to Lowden, who I think's also an excellent actor. But imo O'Connor's a better fit; there's an unpredictability in his onscreen presence, which is a key ingredient for this role. Plus, I really don't want to see Lowden leave Slow Horses- it's as good as Bond

A recession is coming. Anecdotally, loads of redundos already happening. Economy showed remarkable resilience to the first tightening cycle. Seems v unlikely it will cope with a second. giftarticle.ft.com/giftartic…

The UK will be left with tens of billions in debt because the UK govt has bought into the American AI infrastructure buildout. The UK will be stuck with many abandoned data centre sites when the AI bubble bursts due to the trillion dollar circular financing fraud being exposed.
'We've known for a while that people are very unhappy about data centres' The midterm elections put data centres on the ballot across the nation, and Americans had a resounding answer: Not in my community. Roughly 40 cities and towns across the nation weighed measures to restrict data center development. At least 33 voted in favour of reining in the industry, supporting moratoriums, new regulations and outright bans, according to Data Centers on the Ballot, a website tracking the legislation. Only one town in North Dakota voted against restrictions. 👇 𝘐𝘯 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘜𝘚𝘈 𝘛𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺

Movie chase scenes traditionally need fast cuts to heighten the energy and excitement. Peter Hyams took the opposite approach while directing the gritty Los Angeles vice cop thriller BUSTING (1974). Elliott Gould and Robert Blake pursued the bad guys for 105 seconds with only FIVE CUTS. Two years before the Steadicam was invented, the crew had to use a doorway dolly, a camera car and a studio dolly to execute these kinetic long takes. A bold filmmaking choice that demanded precise choreography and 100% effort between the actors and camera crew.

there's plenty of prospective landlords ready and waiting to buy your property for 30% less than what you think it's worth. and then they can let it out for the lower monthly rent that people can afford

What I'm seeing all over X tonight is the same people who pumped the bubble blaming others for their bubble bursting
