“Only dullards crippled into cretinism by a fear of being thought pretentious could be so dumb as to believe that there is a distinction between design and use, between form and function, between style and substance.”
Although it might be appropriate to read it on my iPad, I prefer hardbound with a book like this.

No Futura
Stanley Kubrick was a fan of modernist, sans-serif fonts, but the notoriously fussy director chose a hand drawn, swash-serif logotype for Barry Lyndon. Here it appears on a promotional button, deftly channeling both 1750 and 1975.
So excited that this is finally coming out on blu-ray.

One-person invasion attempt
In August 1990, an unemployed french nuclear physicist named André Gardes attempted a singlehanded invasion of Sark, armed with a semi-automatic weapon. The night Gardes arrived, he put up signs declaring his intention to take over the island the following day at noon. He was arrested while sitting on a bench, changing the gun’s magazine and waiting for noon to arrive, by the island’s volunteer constable.
I want to make this film.

The Yeasayer video I helped shoot is out now. Makes me miss the desert a little bit. Also, one of the first things I shot with my 7D.
