One of my very favorite songs the only song I know from Chris Cornell โ the opening credits theme to Casino Royale. A great song that just fits the movie so damn well.

Thank god Apple seeded Mike Allen with an iPhone X review unit. Such great insight from his fucking nephew, the emoji expert.

Season 1 of True Detective is one of my very favorite cinematic achievements of the decade, right up there with Mad Men, The Tree of Life, and Django Unchained. Iโll add Inception to make it a top 5 list.
