My new favourite thing is finding pictures of characters in suits (or something like suits) so they can be the Bugs Bunny meme

wow tbh if i were quentin tarantino and i watched the sting 1973 at a formative age i would also get stuck on the fakeout tragic ending with the betrayal of trust by the younger criminal of his teacher and the shootout and the double death. and then make ‘reservoir dogs’ about it. with the homosocial loyalty and stuff and things

Old scene studies from 2019 I think. I learned so much from doing these, and they have gotten me work over the years.

Just finished
watching “The Sting” on Netflix. It was a wonderful movie when I’ve seen it in 1973, during a film festival in Warsaw (tickets were so hard to get!), and it’s a wonderful movie now. And young Paul Newman and Robert Redford… they don’t make them like this anymore 💓
Do yourself a favour and watch it!
