STOOD IN A CIRCLE WITH HARRIS DICKINSON

i was at the bfi to see dahomey as part of the lineup the london film festival and there was a q&a after the screening but there wasn’t enough time so i sort of hovered outside waiting to speak to the director mati diop and so did harris dickinson. i wasn’t sure it was him but he looked kinda familiar and i asked him if he was harris dickinson by any chance and he said no then he was like ah i’m just playing. i blanked trying to remember which movie of his i‘d seen recently while i was trying to praise him (it was scrappers and he had to tell me 😭😭). then we sort of awkwardly turned from each other and stood in a circle with other ppl waiting to talk to mati.

DEVON BOSTICK

I used to live in nyc, and one day as I was making my way to my train home from work, I spotted a familiar face walking in front of me. instead of, I don’t know, being a normal person and leaving him the fuck alone, my intrusive thoughts won and I went straight up to him and asked “are you rodrick?” He just went “uh… yeah.” I then realized that he was in Oppenheimer which had just received a bunch of Oscar nominations at the time, so I just went “congrats on Oppenheimer!” And he said thanks and I walked away quickly. Sorry to bro but ur still a legend

today’s adventure

i heard some filming was taking place for something called ‘&sons’ in worcester college, so my bf and i headed over there. we expected that it’d be a cordoned off area or something but no - they were just filming in the entryway. we got ushered aside and made to stand with the actual film crew, and seconds later the actor Bill Nighy in full old man makeup ran right past, followed by the cameras and boom mics and shouting ’ANDY!! ANDY!!’ so guys, think of me when that scene airs. i was right there. nighy had a nice suit.

Pi.FYI Style Guide

Alright y'all, standards have gotten a little lax around here and rec quality has taken a dip (I'm including myself in this). Here are some pointers for High Rec Standards. ANATOMY OF A REC: TITLE—This is the rec or recommendations. This is NOT a lead in. Type exactly what you're recommending here. What appears in the Title should finish this sentence, "I recommend _____." BODY—This supports the rec and anything goes. Supporting statements, supporting essays, additional recs, you can get silly, you can pontificate. You can do anything you want. Except putting the main rec down here. Where does it go? That's right. In the Title 👆 IMAGE—No rules. Add one to preference. It can be relevant or a non sequitur. LINK—I highly recommend links but it's not as important as the Title or Body. If you are recommending something that has an online presence (music, movies, websites, products, etc.), Piffies want to click on it immediately. Don't make us google. Be kind a leave a link. EMOJI—No rules. Express yourself. ANTI-RECS: They exist and they are valid recs. "Anti-Rec: _____" clearly communicates this is something best avoided. But a better way format this type of Rec is to use a modifier or verb that flows with "I recommend _____." Ex. I recommend... Not Eating Tacks, Avoiding Area X, Leaving Off the Anchovies, etc.—(Formatting Anti-Recs this way first recommended by tyler the Creator) ANATOMY OF AN ASK: TITLE—This is the question or topic of the Ask. Asks can solicit advice or start a discussion. You have some flexibility here because the Ask is expected to be expounded upon in the body if it needs more context. Just be clear. Again, this is not a lead in. Be direct and ask the question or state the topic. BODY—Provide more context. Narrow the recommendation field. Add relevant links. Remember, the Ask goes in the Title 👆 EMOJI—No rules. Express yourself. ANSWERING AN ASK—Recs on Asks can break style as dictated by the Ask. If the Ask is looking for Recs, give Recs following style. If it's asking for opinions, give your opinion. Asking for links? Give links! Respond however you would respond some someone IRL. Asks start a conversation so you can be more conversational. But keep in mind that these Recs will appear in the main feed. So where you can maintain Rec style, do so. Example: WHAT’S YOUR CURRENT LETTERBOXD TOP 4? A response to this with High Rec Standards would look something like this: TITLE—Lists your current Letterboxd top 4. You are recommending these four movies. BODY—Free reign here. Drop your Letterboxd @. Talk about the movies. Make a quip. Emoji. Relevant links. Nothing. IMAGE—Optional. Screenshot of your top four. Frame from a movie. Dealer's choice. LINK—Add your Letterboxd profile only if you want to be found. EMOJI—Whatever. But it'd be nice if it was relevant. DISCLAIMER: This is a living community document! These are only my recommendations for a foundation. Debate and Discussion of proper style are Encouraged. Any editions and changes to the PI.FYI STYLE GUIDE will be notated with attribution. Changelog: 07.26.2024—Clarified a Rec is not limited to one recommendation. Recs can recommend multiple things. Thanks to shegoestoanotherschool for identifying the issue. / Added guidance for Anti-Rec format. 02.11.2025—Moved SpongeBob Bubble Blowing Technique video link from the top level into the body ("some pointers") so the embed wouldn't override the High Quality instructional graphic.
