Scorsese fans

Hey guys,

Some new things:

1. How can I be sure any photographed face is real?
   

2. Read and listen: Using Sound And Music To Change Your Brain Waves.
   
   I once met filmmaker Ben Nabors, who told me about a project he had written, based on a short of his. That project turned into The Sound of Silence, which is a pretty neat concept, following a "house tuner" that calibrates the sound in people's homes to help improve their emotional states.
   
   There's also this, demonstrating cymatics.
    

3. Richard Brody’s 62 films that shaped the art of documentary film-making
   

4. While Matthew McConaughey's Greenlights was a funny and enlightening read that molds him into The Most Interesting Man In The World, the real treat may actually be him reading the full thing to us. Here's an excerpt.
   

5. Martin Scorsese's birthday was last week. Here are the Safdie Brothers and Ari Aster -- contemporary filmmakers in awe of him -- nerd-chatting about some of his early short films and documentaries. Scorsese was an Exec. Producer on Uncut Gems, and he frequently brings up the brilliance of Ari Asters' Hereditary. Gems is definitely an experience, at times so aurally tense you kinda wanna press pause for a few minutes. But genuinely amazingly constructed. Hereditary is moody, artful, disturbing horror, super well done elevated genre. Too bad Aster's follow-up Midsommar is a little thin in story and character and disturbing for the sake of it.
   

6. Get a new phone case. And a new mug.
   

7. Happy Thanksgiving!
