A year ago tonight, I was incredibly honored to moderate the panel of the US premiere of “Nuremberg” with the impeccable gentleman @russellcrowe Rami Malek, Michael Shannon & Lydia Peckham.
My wife, Jessica Jorgensen, sure makes me shine!

📺On September 1, 1986, Dan Rather began ending the ‘CBS Evening News’ with the word, ‘courage.’ Rather said he simply liked the word and had used it for years as a greeting; however, the new closing quickly became a target of ridicule from other journalists. Rather even tried the Spanish ‘coraje.’ After just one week, the sign-off was gone
A wonderful thread from our THE NIGHT AGENT creator and legendary showrunner extraordinaire @ShawnRyanTV about the action on the show, and how to create great action sequences in general in the modern age.
Found this conversation with @mattbelloni and Basil Iwanyk about the past/future of action work in movies interesting.(xitter.cf/MattBelloni/status/208…) We have tried to advance the form in television on The Night Agent in a number of ways. Here's how we’ve been trying to do it:

This is coming from a place of warmth and acceptance…
-It’s ‘sleight of hand’
-It’s ‘bated breath’
-It’s ‘lo and behold’
-It’s ‘one fell swoop’

An excellent quote from Steven Sorderbergh in Slate:
"The hardest thing in the world is to be good and clear, because sometimes in order to be clear, you become obvious. And when you’re obvious, you’re not good. So that is a lifelong sort of process, figuring out on each project, given its intentions and its demands, how to make it good and clear. Being obscure is easy. It’s easy to make something that is elliptical and sort of difficult to grasp and sort of fob it off on being artistic, and if you don’t understand it, that’s your problem."
Anyone writing genre deals with this every day-- especially if it's trying to be more. Very well put.
Go see Jack if you can! An amazing writer and human.
