There was something magical about The X-Files cinematography. It didn't just look like television. It felt like stepping into a dream you never wanted to wake up from. ✨

“It’s not just about doing something different, but doing something that confuses you and excites you and terrifies you. That’s the shit that we commit to in order to create something so wild.” Amanda Seyfried joins directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim to discuss (for the first time!) how she was brought into the mind-bending world of You Can See Everything for @RollingStone. 📸: @sachalecca

"The Passion of Anna" (1969) is a unique film in Ingmar Bergman's oeuvre. The themes explored in the movie are the same as his other movies, but Bergman experiments a little bit more [Leaving 'Persona' aside] than he normally did. If you look closely, even the performances of everyone, especially Liv Ullmann & Max von Sydow are very different from other movies of his. It is more overtly expressive than usual. Maybe Bergman gave the more freedom than in his other works. This movie, along with "Hour of the Wolf" (1968) & "Shame (1968) can be perceived as an unofficial trilogy for the subjects they explore and the way they are expressed.

THE X-FILES (1993) introduced Mulder and Scully with one of television’s most iconic first encounters. “Nobody down here but the FBI’s most unwanted.” The atmosphere, the chemistry, the mystery. And Gillian Anderson was an instant lifelong crush.
Which TV show has a genuinely perfect pilot episode? One that introduces its world, hooks you immediately and makes you want to binge the entire series right then and there. What’s your 10/10 first episode?

My series on Oasis (1997-2008) continues w/ 2000’s STANDING ON THE SHOULDER OF GIANTS, often dismissed (by Noel Gallagher even) as weak but it’s actually Oasis at their most confessional, with songs like the self-explanatory “Where Did it All Go Wrong.” tinyurl.com/hzmdn5e

Armies that win have the general at the front lines. Nobody wants to bleed for the prince in the palace.
Ron Baron asked Elon Musk how many CEOs live on site in an Airstream and work hands-on with everyone. MUSK: “Airstreams are actually pretty nice... It’s parked right next to the power plant.” “We built this power plant that’s producing over a gigawatt... in about a year, as opposed to normally about five years.” “There is no upstairs.” He walks the entire site up to five times a day. He’s pulled power cables “the size of an anaconda,” run fiber, wired switches, and worked on the power plant software. “I try to do at least a little bit of everything, so that I’m not numb to the pain of the people who are actually doing it.” “It’s not as though I’m sitting in an office and somebody has to come to me. I’m walking the floor, asking them questions actively.” There’s a reason SpaceX is winning the compute race.

This v. good @tompetty box set is out today.
There's a new box set out called ORIGINS: 1971-1978 chronicling Tom Petty's early years. In honor of that I wrote a column comparing & contrasting The Heartbreakers with The E Street Band. It's a "greatest American rock 'n' roll backing band" conversation! tinyurl.com/yd2dkt3t
