RIP Haskell Wexler

RIP #Haskell #Wexler, all-time great DP (& filmmaker). His movies moved me even back in the day when I didnt know what a cinematographer was

Panthers Lose to Falcons

Tough loss for #Panthers against annoying #Falcons. This gives his haters all the ammunition they need to deny #CamNewton his deserved #MVP.

Steelers Heart-Breaking Loss to Ravens

It had to be the bl**dy #Ravens. Horrific loss for #Steelers against a fourth-string QB. Sometimes you live by the #BigBen & sometimes...

Celeb Sighting: Walton Goggins

2nd-Greatest Celeb Sighting, Ever!: Walton Goggins, asking me where they're showing The Hateful Eight at @ArcLightCinemas!

The Danish Girl

The Danish Girl: Standard Hooper elevated by a wonderful Vikander & an extraordinary Redmayne. DP Cohen stunningly deploys the wide-angle.
