It's such a weird feeling when you see "1898" on the screen and you're like "Okay, I don't know why but this feels like 1898."

Well yeah, the world has been always wondering when he will do another film. Now we know not to expect one.

Harlequins second row Mark Reddish has today (Tuesday 27th June) announced that he will retire from the game due to concussion.
Kaye Odell retired from Northwest Elementary School on June 12 after 42 years of service as a bus driver and cafeteria worker.

How is this uncommon and even pretentious to you?

He's considered the best actor in the world. He probably has dozens of directors, actors, and studios who would kill to sign him up for literally anything.

You don't think he owes them an announcement?

He's also a really kind and gentle person who totally doesn't gloat about his own abilities.

This shot also makes me think again about how important the sky is in exterior shots. You lose a lot of the mood without that nice contrast in the clouds, and lose a lot more if it's broad daylight. What with how far in advance you usually have to schedule shoots, exteriors always take an element of luck to get the best out of them, even when you can see the weather report as to when its most likely you'll get some clouds or whatever.

The first segment of the There Will Be Blood is possibly my favorite bit of visual storytelling in a movie ever. You learn everything about DDL's character without him saying a single word.
