ART OF THE CUT with Evan Schiff, editor of John Wick 3

The other interesting thing that we do is that when we’re in the middle of the director’s cut, we give Chad an Avid with access to all the fight dailies... Being the incredibly knowledgeable martial artist that he is, he’ll go through and he’ll do his own cuts of the fights and then we’ll compare. He’ll see that somebody didn’t get an elbow in the right position in the take that I chose and he’ll find a take where they did.

A great interview about editing one of the best action films in recent year.

the Debt We Owe to the Truth #ChernobylHBO

The lesson of Chernobyl is that lying and ignoring facts comes with a deadly cost and we can do it and we can keep doing it. We can keep electing reality television stars to office and we can keep believing what we want to believe and reading things on Facebook and deciding that they’re true, but we are accruing a debt to the truth and that debt comes due one way or the other.

This interview with the creator Craig Mazin is fascinating on many levels, not just the show itself. First episode alone made Chernobyl my favorite TV show of 2019.
