Both directed by James Gray, both starring Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg, taking place in nyc, early 00s, crime, cops. Im still thinking about where they are influencing / influenced by the sopranos, the wire, the departed, both of the main actors careers, etc. I didn’t know they existed until a few weeks ago and def worth watching if you like that sort of thing.

On the surface, it’s pretty routine as far as heist movies go, but I fall in love with the characters every time I watch it. The cast is amazing all the way through and the action is well-choreographed. The chemistry of the four leads is so palpable, it reminds me of Thelma and Louise in the best way.

two ex cons looking to rebuild their lives ~ always been a fan of both pacino & hackman, somehow this film slipped under my radar until now. both actors are amazing and have crazy energy in it, theres these really long takes throughout of the film and you really feel the energy of their weird friendship, really funny, intense, tragic

I’m a project manager for a prepared food company, and the majority of the projects I work on are soup. We’re mostly private label, so we make the store brand soups in the deli section for most of the big grocery stores.
One time at a big meeting our boss got a cameo from the “no soup for you!” Guy from Seinfeld to pump us up (?)

These puzzles are wild! All the pieces are different shapes, and even at the end it was so hard! Totally twisted my brain, please let me know if other puzzle companies do this I’m hooked!

for a while, I thought that to be anyone of substance, value, recognition, etc. you had to have a distinct personal brand. What a load of hooey. It definitely had a lot to do with Instagram, and like admiring people for having that persona that people know who you are without actually having to know you. it’s really depressing and sincerely unattainable for me. I now am very happy being off Instagram and doing whatever, without wondering how it looks.
