The Twilight Zone episode Nick of Time is on cable now.
I never understood what the moral of the episode was. The machine predicts the future, the girlfriend pulls William Shatner away because he's letting prediction run his life .... what?

@Jacobkosh my mom and I watched The Spanish Prisoner and House of Games on the flight home earlier, and both were fantastic (despite what's-her-name's relatively atrocious acting in the latter movie). I need to watch more David Mamet stuff, he's such an interesting filmmaker. He's really great at creating a thematic atmosphere for his scenes, and the cinematography in general is really unique. And that's all aside from the screenplays themselves, with the layered reveals and whatnot. Thanks for the recommendations!
visiblehowl oh, rad! I'm glad you enjoyed them.
I love Mamet. There was a semester in college where I watched my tape of The Spanish Prisoner a couple or three times a week; for whatever reason, that movie in particular really speaks to me. His dialogue and rhythms are so unique; not "realistic," very mannered, but with a lot of attention paid to meter and cadence. Some people bounce right off it because it doesn't sound like the people they know in their real lives, but I find it hypnotic, and it takes me to a place where I completely believe it.
I don't quite put him in my absolute top tier of filmmakers because I think he's a great writer and a good director of actors but I don't really remember his movies for the edting or cinematography (and having read his books I know that as a matter of principle he disdains visual flourishes anyway), but he's absolutely in the top rank of film storytellers, if that makes sense. He cares about dialogue and incident and character and always has something to say through those things.
After those I think you should check out Spartan (his take on a Tom Clancy geopolitical thriller/action movie), Homicide (a very mysterious-feeling movie about a Jewish police detective facing a crisis in both his professional life and his faith) and Heist (Gene Hackman, Danny DeVito, and Delroy Lindo steal stuff - probably the most predictable of the three but has fantastic lines).
Hmm, I don't know what you call "setting up a shot" or whatever, I just remember he had some really awesome tableaus in House of Games, especially in the early parts of the film where you're introduced to the first few seedy locales. Dunno if that counts as cinematography.
I've seen Heist, but it was a long time ago, so I'll gladly watch it again.
oh yeah I don't think his filmmaking is bad or merely functional or anything, I think he just likes it to be invisible
he has good shot composition (at least sometimes) but I think anything that draws your conscious attention to the fact that this is an image is a no-no for him, so he doesn't do, like, lushly unreal color pallettes or showy camera moves or 10-minute single takes or whatever
but he'll do something like in The Spanish Prisoner where Campbell Scott is framed by the steps and rails of a fire escape ladder in a way that resembles prison bars
Idea for a porn site: using sex toys on sex toys. Like, get a large variety of dildos and artificial pussies, and vigorously use your hands to make them "fuck." I bet that's at a least a $1,500 a month market. I bet you could charge extra for premium videos where you add your own noises as you do it.

I've become painfully aware over the last month or so how much shitting-on-enjoyment happens on the internet. It'd be one thing if it was harmful enjoyment, like a bully getting their kicks.
But across the net there's so much "I like this thing" and people jumping out to be contrarian and fucking hell why isn't happiness allowed? I get that everyone is fucking miserable about political shit but try to direct that shit where it's deserved, don't take it out on the people surrounding you.
So yeah. That Tyson tweet pushes on all that for me and other things he's said have had the same effect. WHAT A COOL GUY I could give a shit for his other work because another part of him is invested in this crap-ass behavior.
literally every game I mention to spool17 he's like "people say that game sucks"
eventually I realized that there's just a mass of people out there trying to make money on twitch and youtube by shitting on games and reaping the rewards from people who like to hate thing.
People need to think about what subgroup they're surrounding themselves with. the alt-right is the most virulent strain, but the same problem runs from them all the way through to us.

I saw a porno once where a guy and a girl were sexing
then he took out a flashlight but just the squishy part and he put that in her ass and then fucked her with that in the butt

in the last episode they're sitting together and the shot lingers for like, too long, in silence. Like, long enough that you have this moment of - oh, suddenly feeling like you're intruding on something real and deeply personal. Excellent imo

I get to work with my best friend doing the same job writing. We mesh so well creatively that I am just constantly emitting joy noises.
We've worked together before, it's great.
He has expressed serious misgivings because he knows one of us will gchat the other and cause them to burst out laughing in the quiet office. All the time.

Extended foreplay scenes at the start of every video, where you're methodically lubing up the toys

at the party last night Roomate's boyfriend discussed his fleshlight extensively and in great detail, to everyone's genuine interest and curiosity, and then prompted an interesting discussion surrounding the social acceptability of fleshlights and fleshlights as like, sex toys that one can use with a partner, etc.
