When Adam Stjärnljus and Klas Eriksson met in middle school, little did they know they'd become close friends and decades letter decide to chase a wild dream of making a video game together. They were not video game developers, but for years, they toiled away at what would eventually become the cinematic platformer Planet of Lana. A few years later, the sequel is here, and Patrick recently spoke with Stjärnljus and Eriksson about their journey to this moment.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
"Sinners" is an American horror film produced, written, and directed by Ryan Coogler. Set in 1932 in the Mississippi Delta, the film stars Michael B. Jordan in dual roles as identical twin criminal brothers who return to their hometown in the Jim Crow South, where they are confronted by a supernatural evil. It co-stars Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton (in his film debut), Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Benson Miller, and Delroy Lindo. The film has received critical acclaim and was a commercial success, grossing $369 million worldwide on a $90–100 million budget. In addition, the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute listed it among the top 10 films of 2025. The film garnered several awards and nominations, including a record 16 nominations at the 98th Academy Awards and 13 at the 79th British Academy Film Awards, with Coogler winning the award for Best Original Screenplay at the latter.

Some stories, no matter the timeline, destination, or space, just shine a spotlight so powerful that one reflects on the many struggles and triumphs it has taken to get there. In this month's Act Two: Women in Cinematic Transition, The Color Purple takes center stage in all of its splendid richness and depth, and a soundtrack that expands more than 4 decades. From book, to screen, to stage, and back to screen the tale of Miss Celie's blues is unforgettable and so very much encouraging it has become required viewing at least once in a lifetime...or more.#queitrebellion#liviscorner#ActTwoSeries

Facebook: / lagravecrc Instagram: / lagravecrc Website: https://www.lagrave.org #LaGrave #LaGraveCRC This worship service at LaGrave Avenue Christian Reformed Church explores the intersection of God's eternal providence and the human struggle to follow His timing. Through the lens of Psalm 90 and the early life of Moses, the message challenges believers to move from self-driven ambition to a life of surrendered servanthood. Foundations of Providence and Human Fragility The service opened with a prayer based on the Belgic Confession, Article 13, acknowledging that God governs all things according to His holy will and that nothing happens by chance. This theme of divine sovereignty was further explored through a responsive reading of Psalm 90, often considered the oldest psalm in the Psalter. The congregation reflected on God's eternal nature—existing before the mountains were born—contrasted with the brevity of human life, which is described as grass that withers by evening. These reflections served as a call to recognize human limitations and the necessity of finding a "dwelling place" in God throughout all generations. The Contrast of the "Cinematic" vs. Biblical Moses The sermon addressed the popular cultural depictions of Moses, such as those in The Ten Commandments or The Prince of Egypt, which often portray him as a consistently confident, "debonair" hero. However, the biblical narrative reveals a much harsher reality. Moses was born into a period of intense persecution and infanticide under a threatened Pharaoh. His survival was not a matter of cinematic luck but the result of his mother Jochebed's clever planning and the direct providence of God, who placed him in the heart of the Egyptian palace to be nurtured in the wisdom of the empire. The Danger of Running Ahead of God A pivotal moment in Moses' life occurred when he attempted to take justice into his own hands by killing an Egyptian taskmaster. While his intentions to help his people were sincere, he acted "deliberately and according to a plan he concocted" without consulting God. This "self-driven life" led to a sinking heart and forced exile. The sermon illustrated this through a modern example of a pastor who attempted to force a neighborhood evangelism program too quickly, resulting in an empty event because he had not earned the congregation's trust or waited for God's timing. The School of Servanthood in Midian Moses' 40-year exile in Midian is portrayed as a period of divine reorientation. At a well in a barren land, God began to mold Moses' character through small, seemingly insignificant tasks, such as protecting seven women from shepherds. This stage of life taught Moses that a servant's duty is simply to do the "next task" available. This principle was echoed in the story of a modern-day church member who served as a helper to her husband with MS for 46 years, illustrating that true servanthood is found in daily faithfulness rather than personal glory. The Ultimate Example: Christ's Surrender The sermon concluded by pointing to Jesus Christ as the "far greater example" of servanthood. Unlike Moses' early impulsive actions, Jesus demonstrated complete surrender in the Garden of Gethsemane, praying, "Yet not my will, but yours be done." While Moses served faithfully in God's house, Jesus is the faithful Son whose journey to the cross provides the ultimate model for believers to follow God's ways and timing through the power of the Holy Spirit. The life of Moses serves as a profound reminder that God's servants are not born in palaces but molded in the wilderness. By surrendering personal agendas and waiting on divine timing, believers can move from the "disrepair and turmoil" of self-driven lives into the "holy rest" of God's eternal purposes.

It's a bonus episode, so I don't have to work too hard on the description.
HBO's Six Feet Under pretty much always comes up in discussions of the best tv shows of all time, but also somehow doesn't seem to have been able to stake its spot in the larger cultural memory in the same way as hits of the same era like The Sopranos or The Wire. So today we're taking a deeper look at this insightful, darkly hilarious show and what made it work so well – but also why some of those same traits that made it a critical darling and fan favorite might have been the reason it was almost left behind (and why it's now, nearly 20 years after it that perfect finale, starting to find a whole new audience!) This is the Total Take, where we break down the most analyzable films and TV shows of all time through visual storytelling, writing, symbolism, world, and impact.

There was a time when Hollywood could trip over its own ego and still land on a pile of cash.Now, despite the Botox and the bravado, it resembles a once-grand casino where the chandeliers still sparkle but the slot machines are unplugged. The velvet rope remains, though no one is waiting behind it. And while the industry keeps insisting it's merely “evolving,” the rest of us can hear the hospice nurse adjusting the morphine drip.Hollywood did not die suddenly. It was struck years ago by a Mack truck named Reality. Instead of admitting it needed trauma care, it opted for cosmetic surgery. Endless remakes. Sequels of sequels. Cinematic universes bloated like a Thanksgiving parade balloon that nobody remembered to anchor. Meanwhile, audiences wandered off, muttering something about originality and refunds.The creative stagnation would have been survivable if paired with fiscal sanity.We are talking Hollywood and the death walk it's currently on.I'm proud to say that God willing, we will make a serious dent in this area of pop culture, reclaiming some of it.How this correction hasn't already occurred is beyond me. For decades, Hollywood has run like a crackhead trust-fund recipient.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What really makes great storytelling work in the modern thriller genre? In episode 169, I sit down with two powerhouse thriller authors — Brad Thor and Ward Larsen in a conversation about COLD ZERO, their latest thriller. Centered on shared experience, military service, discipline, and a relentless respect for the craft, our conversation explores why authenticity matters in thrillers and how deep genre knowledge — from tradecraft to aviation — creates books that feel cinematic without losing emotional weight. What really stood out to me is how aggressively Brad and Ward lean into collaboration as a competitive advantage. These are two seasoned writers who didn't just co-author a novel, they merged similar work ethics, complementary skills, and a shared belief that the best stories come from trust, humility, and putting in the work.

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from filmmaker Margarita Jimeno speaking on gentrification and cities as cinematic characters. Margarita speaks particularly about experiences working on films in Berlin, but also reflects on time in NYC. In this exchange we develop a sense of Margarita's understanding of the city landscape and character of the city as a character in a film that plays a key role in depicting the ideas and storyline of a film. Margarita also speaks about the ways that gentrification today is impacting artists and many communities today. In this interview Margarita speaks specifically about two film projects, Atalanta and Grind Reset Shine.

Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton are now often universally viewed as the two great silent film movie comedians. And their personal biographies, even their physical characteristics (they were both 5'5), rhyme in a fascinating way. They both made some of the towering comedies-The Kid, The Gold Rush, The Great Dictator, Seven Chances, Sherlock Jr., The General. Most intriguingly, Chaplin can be viewed as the grandfather of the art film tradition and Keaton the grandpappy of the action film. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill offers an initial overview of these two movie giants' biographies, body of work, and legacies.

What happens when Tolkien's world, Enya's music, and cutting-edge virtual performance collide?In this episode, we explore a breathtaking Second Life film that reimagines “May It Be” as a haunting, hopeful journey through shadow and light. From gothic landscapes and cinematic lighting to an unexpectedly intimate motion-capture reveal, this episode showcases how virtual worlds can deliver not just spectacle, but genuine emotional resonance.If you love:· Lord of the Rings and its timeless theme of hope against darkness· Machinima and virtual cinematography at its most poetic· Innovative uses of facial mocap and performance in online worlds· Discovering undiscovered creative voices with serious talent…then you won't want to miss this. We dive into a strikingly beautiful piece of Second Life machinima: Anna Kurka's cinematic cover of Enya's “May It Be” from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Tracy brings the pick, introducing Anna as a Belgium-based virtual performer who blends singing, storytelling, and atmospheric world-building into emotionally rich visual journeys.Set in the hauntingly gothic Second Life region “Infinite Darkness,” the film pairs slow, ethereal fly-throughs of ancient forests, ruins, mist, and light with a tender, intimate vocal performance. The hosts explore how the imagery echoes Tolkien's core themes of darkness and hope, fear and resilience, the liminal space between night and dawn, and how Anna's more human, grounded interpretation contrasts with Enya's otherworldly original.The discussion also turns technical, with a spoiler-friendly deep dive into the surprise ending: a remarkably convincing facial motion-capture performance inside Second Life, raising fascinating questions about virtual production, real-time mocap, and how far user-generated platforms have evolved.Along the way, the panel reflects on Tolkien's enduring emotional power, the courage it takes to reinterpret iconic music, and the often-hidden talent within virtual worlds that deserves a much wider audience.Timestamps –01:26 Overview of Anna Kirker's “May It Be” (Enya / Lord of the Rings cover), her background as a Second Life creator and singer, and the cinematic quality of her work. 06:31 Thematic and musical analysis10:41 Anna's background and artistic potential12:41 Connection to Tolkien's storytelling14:31 Personal Tolkien memories17:11 Spoiler alert and setup for the ending Credits –Hosts: Ricky Grove, Phil Rice, Damien Valentine, Tracy HarwoodProducer/Editor: Phil RiceMusic: Phil Rice and Suno AI

Cinematic pioneer Nina Menkes is actively addressing this problem through her groundbreaking documentary, Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power. She joins Debra Graugnard to shed light on how A-list directors have been using the film industry to perpetuate a toxic environment where women are harassed, assaulted, and discriminated against, directly attacking their selfhood. Nina also talks about the profound repercussions of being trained to see oneself as an object, as well as why glamour is not about your external appearances. Discover how you are brainwashed by the media and use your dollars to make a real difference.For more information, visit https://CommunityforConsciousLiving.com

A cinematic analysis of sci-fi film Arrival | Go to http://factormeals.com/thetake50off and use code thetake50off to get 50% off your first Factor box PLUS free breakfast for 1 year! Arrival, Denis Villeneuve's 2016 first contact drama uses its fantastical premise to tell a very human story. Rather than whisking us away to a far off galaxy, the film instead stays close to home and unpacks one of our oldest ‘technologies': written communication. Arrival analyzes what it really means to understand one another – and how figuring that out could be the only thing that could save us all. This is the Total Take, where we break down the most analyzable films and TV shows of all time through visual storytelling, writing, symbolism, world, and impact. Let's take a deeper look at Arrival, a film whose messages are more relevant now than ever! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Her, Spike Jonze's sci-fi romantic drama, seems to feel even more relevant today than when it was released in 2013. The film follows Joaquin Phoenix's Theodore as he forms a deep connection with his computer's new AI, played by Scarlett Johansson. Since the film's release, we as a society have become ever more intertwined with our own technology and AI has started working its way into all facets of our life, making much of Theodore and Samantha's journey feel almost prescient. So what is it, specifically, about this film that has kept it bouncing around in our memory banks for the last decade? This is the Total Take, where we break down the most analyzable films and TV shows of all time through visual storytelling, writing, symbolism, world, and impact. So here's our Total Take on Her!

In this episode of QSJ Radio's MadLuh: Digging Up the Underground, we sit down with UK-based artist Jasmine Catherine for an honest, human conversation that goes beyond the music. Together, we talk about navigating creativity in a digital-first world, staying grounded during uncertain times, and what it really means to build a sustainable life as an artist today. Jasmine shares thoughtful perspectives on resilience, identity, community, and the balance between authenticity and survival in an always-on culture. This is a reflective, real-time discussion about art, life, and finding purpose when the world feels loud — the kind of conversation that reminds you why independent voices matter.
We begin with a heartfelt tribute to the late Frank Fox — filmmaker, musician, and beloved member of the machinima community. From his classic MovieStorm film Morning Run Amok to his live music performances as “Frank Leonatra,” we reflect on his creativity, generosity, and the lasting impact he had on virtual filmmaking and the people who loved him. Then we dive deep into one of the most visually unique and emotionally powerful machinima ever made:

In memory of Joni Linn Elmore (October 20, 1955 – January 15, 2026), big sister to Stanley James Elmore, my lifelong best friend (April 11, 1957 – May 12, 2013) The John & Mildred Cooper Nature Preserve isn’t some pristine area. It’s more wilderness, as any nature preserve should be. Our first visit was a few years ago during the summer. A successful chigger attack stopped us from completing much of the hike. That’s why we figured we’d give it another go during the dead of winter. Let’s take a walk through the top portion of this trail. Not to worry, we’ll revisit during the Spring. The Middle Fork Saline River is currently quite low, and the trees are bare. Today’s conversation is going to be different because of loss. A loss I experienced this week. Thanks for joining me. me (dark suit), my sister, Joni, my best friend’s sister and my best friend, Stanley –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Music: Run Free by Alex-Productions / alexproductionsmusic License: Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://www.audiolibrary.com.co/alex-… Music promoted by Audio Library: • Orchestral, Cinematic, Trap No Copyright M… –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– • Join Our Free Email Newsletter • Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel (click that bell icon, too) • Join Our Facebook Group • Support Our Sponsors (Click on the images below to visit their websites.) __________________________________________ __________________________________________ __________________________________________
The Cinematography Podcast Episode 341: Caleb Heymann Cinematographer Caleb Heymann has been a key architect of the Stranger Things aesthetic since the tail end of Season 3. After starting as a second unit DP, Heymann was promoted to lead cinematographer for the blockbuster Season 4, and now its fifth and final season. The crew dedicated a full year to filming Season 5, spanning from January through December 2024. While the desert dreamscape was captured on location in New Mexico, the bulk of production remained in Atlanta. Seasons 4 and 5 traverse a variety of locations, each requiring vastly different palettes. Heymann views each environment within the Stranger Things universe as a "cinematic playground." To ground the show's supernatural elements, the production leans heavily on location shooting and in-camera effects. “There are definitely certain anachronistic visual elements that we wanted to pay homage to,” says Heymann. “The lightning can be a little over the top. It intentionally rides that line between expressive and theatrical. But I think we try to not overdo it, because everything in front of the camera is already taking you there.” The production constantly balanced both digital and physical effects. “We always try to push it and see what we can get in camera. The art department does an incredible job and builds us huge sets,” says Heymann. Creating the Upside Down was a monumental task for the art department, who must redress nearly every location for night shoots. The iconic vines, for instance, are physically constructed by "nether technicians." To make the dimension's signature hellish glow, the crew often used practical red lighting on set rather than relying solely on post-production color grading. Heymann and the Duffer brothers selected a different camera system for each season, choosing cameras that best fit the story's needs. For Season 5, Heymann needed a distinct visual motif to represent Will's "trance state" and the POV of the demogorgons and demo dogs. He stacked two center-spot diopters, which blended the image while losing focus at the edges. To heighten the disorientation, the team shook the camera manually and with a camera shaker on a Technocrane. “It was absolutely a dream experience already being a fan of the show to be able to come in and join this group of awesome people who work on it and to ultimately get to work with the Duffers,” says Heymann. “I learned a lot from them, just in their attention to detail and sensitivity to camera movement. And they're always about pushing everybody to do their best work.” See Stranger Things Season 5 streaming on Netflix.

The Bald and the Beautiful with Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamo
Observational Cinematic Compulsion Disorder, or OCCD, is a common behavioral condition characterized by involuntary ocular fixation on a neighbor's in-flight audiovisual LCD display, even in the absence of accompanying auditory stimuli. Patients with OCCD exhibit vastly impaired concentration filtration, resulting in reflexive visual tracking of narrative cinematic sequences presented on adjacent personal screens during commercial air travel. The disorder is frequently associated with heightened situational distractibility, transient dissociative drift, and a paradoxical increase in attentional salience toward media not voluntarily selected by the patient. Management of OCCD involves admission to a 19th-century gothic asylum in upstate New York, with current clinical guidelines emphasizing electroconvulsive therapy administered on a daily basis, leading to a positive outcome of preemptive engagement with self-selected entertainment to mitigate cross-screen visual intrusion.
