Saddened to hear of Val Kilmer Val Kilmer passing today. It was an amazing experience to be a small part of this legacy ~ we adapted from his poems four cinematic poetry projects in collaboration w/ some of my favorite artists. When we spoke about poetry & he quoted Voltaire to me “Poetry is the music of the soul”. He expressed his love for the pieces and to see his poems in this way. Few might know how instrumental poetry was to Val’s journey as an artist from his audition for Juliard when he was 19 performing a poem he wrote himself, up until the “My Number” piece we collaborated on in 2022. The world will remember him for his transformations and for setting the screen ablaze with iconic characters. I’ll remember him for that too. For inspiring me as a young actor. But I’ll also remember him as a rebel poet & artist, that had the courage to collaborate with me, to take risks in this new age and to see the value of art beyond his own celebrity. RIP to a true legend, good luck on your next voyage my friend 🥀🔥

Many on social media have asked how I became a part of Team Dhurandhar as a Research Consultant. Aditya Dhar has been a friend for many years even before the earth-shattering Uri project had begun. To cut the long story short, here we go. In March 2022, a highly placed source tipped me off about the mysterious killing of a man named Zahid Akhund in Karachi. I was told it was a major development, but given no further details. It took me two days to establish that Zahid Akhund was, in fact, Zahoor Mistry also known as Bhola one of the hijackers of the IC-814 aircraft. Nearly twenty-three years after the hijacking, he had been killed at point-blank range. The Pakistani ISI had instructed the local media not to report the incident. The killing itself was carried out by two bike-borne men from a local Karachi gang. I broke this story in Indian Media and entire national media followed my reporting. Later I investigated this further and made a documentary on this killing. The rest, as they say, is history. Around this time, Aditya Dhar was already working on his film’s storyboard. When he approached me, one conversation led to another and that’s how I came on board. As did my highly-placed source. Rest is classified information. Enjoy Dhurandhar. And trust me you are just not ready for the second part in March 2026. Watch my documentary “Hunting the Hijackers” about killing of Zahoor Mistry where I interview India’s Former R&AW Chief Mr. Vikram Sood and India’s Former Envoy to Pakistan Amb. G. Parthasarthy. Mr. Sood Vikram Sood in this interview gave me this iconic line, “Intelligence agencies and governments who want to be assertive must have long memories.” Dhurandhar is all about India’s Intelligence agencies having long memories.

I was in the South with a friend when he told me about a memorial for an IDF soldier who had been killed in the war. So, on the way home from a desert trip, we stopped by. There was a plaque with his photo overlooking nature. When you pressed a button there, you could hear people speaking about him. You could hear music recordings his family had shared. You could feel him. And his name was Uri Bar-Or. Music wasn't just something he liked, it was central to who he was. He composed complex classical works, mixing it up with rock influences and other beats. And at 18, one of the pieces he wrote was even performed by the Israeli Chamber Orchestra on his birthday. I learned that his mentor believed he would become one of Israel's most important composers. That his talent wasn't ordinary, it was rare. I learned that beyond music, he taught children chess, math, and physics. He shared everything he knew—guitars, drums, even magic tricks and Rubik's Cube strategies—with anyone simply because he wanted to give. I learned that he was born in Midreshet Ben Gurion, in the desert itself. That he was described as an old soul in a young body, that the same inner voice that led him to compose also led him to enlist in the Nachal Brigade and serve as an IDF combat soldier defending our country. After we left, we happened to drive past a house with the name Bar-Or on a sign outside with a small guitar on it. I don't fully know why, but I felt the need to knock. Noah, his mother, who I didn't know, opened the door. I introduced myself, told her we'd just been at the memorial, that we'd heard his story and music, and she let me in. Standing there speaking to a mother whose door I'd knocked on—a mother who waited years for her firstborn son, whom she named Uri (light) and then lost in Rafah on May 28, 2024—it's impossible to put into words. It's hard to say anything to her. But I promised her I'd make a tribute to her son and share it with the world - and this is it. I didn't know Uri, but I stood in the desert and heard what he created. I stood in his family's home and felt what he left behind. Uri left light. Uri left music. And somehow, out there in the desert, it's still playing. #imthatjew

🔥🚨EXCLUSIVE: I have recovered footage of Diddy praising Jay-Z as his brother deeper than blood and even admitting that Jay-Z is ‘the one he calls when he gets in trouble’ after he brought him out on the Bad Boy reunion tour in Brooklyn. This comes after Jay-Z attempted to distance himself from Diddy by dissing his Roc Nation brunches last night in addition to claiming Diddy was just an ‘associate.’ Diddy: “And this is extended family. He's been there with me through my ups and downs.” Jay-Z: “Straight up.” Diddy: “Whenever I get in trouble, this is the one I call. This is my strategist right here. This is my brother.”

Director's commentary bit - After Rocky recovers from his injuries: "As Rocky returns to the movie, the lights turn on. The warmth returns. It's like the day breaking." THE WARMTH RETURNS IT'S LIKE THE DAY BREAKING FOR GRACE 😭 2. Rocky leaning in as HARD into the hug as possible because he gets it now, he's missed Grace too 3. Grace's world inside the Hail Mary looking dim and dull as he waited for his Rocky to heal and come back to him 4. the way the music changes into a more hopeful and sweet sound when Rocky starts to make his way to Grace and goes "Grace?" 5. Rocky following Grace's sleepy hand movement with his entire body he's so fucking cute 😭 6. "no...is yes?" and Grace's sofy smile and this scene ends with an old joke between gracerocky bc of course it does

🤔 The rifle drop location of the leftist who assassinated Charlie Kirk has been revealed. From the video which cuts off…we can see him waiting at the intersection. So not to be semantical but the diagram showing him cut across the parking lot isn’t accurate because he walks along the pathway. So it appears Tyler Robinson walked across the street and “HID” the Mauser in that vicinity and then walked to his car. My only question is if he knew in his own words that his father would notice the gun missing and have to come back to collect it WHY NOT JUST TAKE IT WITH YOU TO YOUR VEHICLE AND REMOVE THAT FROM THE EQUATION? He seemed to smuggle the weapon in there with NO PROBLEM hidden well enough and with all the commotion getting back to your car with the weapon would be a priority. We have heard routinely that he is NOT a stupid person so he would know that after committing the most high profile ASSASSINATION in the 21st century w/ cameras everywhere of a personal friend of The President that no stone would be unturned. So DID HE REALLY THINK HE WOULD BE ABLE TO RETURN TO A CAMPUS THAT WOULD BE ON LOCKDOWN HOURS LATER TO RETRIEVE IT? That doesn’t sound like a MENSA move to me. I’ll leave my post here also from 9/12 when his father turned him in where I said AT BARE MINIMUM HE WOULD HAVE KNOWN HIS DAD WOULD KNOW ITS MISSING. Why use the terminology “DROP POINT” as if it’s an OP as opposed to saying “I hid or stashed it”? Just little details like that stand out to me. Take it with you at this point don’t drop it a hundred feet away from a crime of the century.

Khloé Kardashian reveals why she didn’t speak to her ex husband Lamar Odom for 10 years after their divorce before reuniting with him. She says that after he overdosed and suffered a stroke, she helped him through his rehabilitation, but once he was in a decent place, he started using again. She says she couldn’t understand why he’d do that after she had put so much of her life on hold for him. She adds that seeing him again after 10 years made her realize how much she had outgrown someone she once thought she’d never outgrow. She also expresses how heartbroken she was when one of Lamar’s friend sold his properties she had kept for him over the years. “When we divorced, Lamar was not in a good headspace. So for years i kept a storage unit of his furnitures thinking one day he would want it. He said through his friend who will go unnamed said give him the storage keys and he’ll take it for me. I did so and I found out later down the line that this friend of his sold everything that was in the unit without Lamar knowing and that broke my heart. I wanted to see him and make sure he was doing okay. I didn’t want to do it in public were it’d be a big spectacle, i didn’t want to do it at my house because of the kids. He picked the time and date, he flew in for it. I thought i was totally cool and when he came in he was so nervous. And there will be time in our conversations that i started getting this feelings, little mannerism or things that would flash me back to 10/15 years ago. And i didn’t realize how triggered i was getting from Lamar. We didn’t talk for 10 years because after his overdose Lamar couldn’t walk or talk, he had a significant amount seizures and stroke, and needed to be rehabilitated, i helped him through that journey. And then when he was at a decent place he started using again, from that moment i said i can never see you again. I love Lamar with all my heart, even today. He was like one of the greatest love of my life. When he started using again after such a horrific accident, I couldn’t understand how someone will go do that again. It felt like you punched me in my stomach, I put so much of my life on hold to take care of this person”

A few months before Oliver Mtukudzi died, he called me to his base at Pakare Paye in Norton. He had just composed music for my documentary film State of Mind, which was about to be released. The film explored issues of mental health, and many times we would sit and talk, he would tell me secrets about the music industry. Often, he would ask me to switch off the camera, but on this particular day, he said I could record whatever he was saying on my phone. Oliver Mtukudzi created the music in all of my documentary films. Every piece of soundtrack in my productions was done by him. He always refused to take any payment from me after discovering that my paternal grandmother, vaDhiriza, was of the Nzou totem — the elephant — just like him. As you all know, Oliver Mtukudzi was Nzou Samanyanga, while my grandmother was Nzou Mukotomi. That connection brought us even closer. On this day, we were simply having one of our usual chats, but I did not realise it would be the last time I would ever see him. Sadly, he passed away two months after that conversation. I asked him why he had agreed to do the music for State of Mind at a time when he was extremely busy attending to his health. He looked at me, smiled gently, and said something that stayed with me forever. He told me that he did it because the film spoke to something deeply human — the struggles people face silently in their minds and families. He said music has the power to heal, to reach where words cannot, and that if his music could touch even one soul, then it was worth the effort. That was the kind of man Oliver Mtukudzi was; selfless, compassionate, and always using his art to give meaning and comfort to others. 👇🏿

On the 13th of Sept, someone transferred 180k for an iPhone Xs 256GB. After acknowledging his receipt, he called, and I told him we don't have it but will ask colleagues and let him know. I asked my friend, and he told me 190k. I begged him to leave it at 180k because that is what the guy deposited (check frame 2 for reference). When he sent the phone from Kano to Jos, then I noticed it was an Xs Max. Seeing that the guy was in a hurry and didn't want to disappoint, I called him and told him what happened and said if he wants the Max, he can take it at no additional cost. I was willing to settle the difference because it was his first time buying from us. I packaged it with a new premium charger because all our used phones are sent packaged in our branded box with a charger, and I sent it to him in Abuja. He later messaged that he has received the phone and truly appreciates it. After months of not receiving any complaints from him, it clearly indicates that he has received a fully functioning phone. It is in our policy that if you find anything faulty within one week, you can return it to us and either ask for a replacement or refund. What this means is that the cost of bringing it from Kano to Jos, the packaging and charger, and the delivery to Abuja are all a loss to me. But I didn't mind because at least I have satisfied him. Nine weeks later, while I was in Kano, I saw a call from an unknown number. When I picked up, he said it was him. He told me that the camera has started giving him problems. I told him it has been months since you bought it, but you can take it to any repair store and tell me how much you spent, and I will pay. He asked if I know anyone, and I sent him someone's number. The guy didn't pick; he texted and informed me and later called me. I told him to go to anyone he trusts and let me know the amount he spent. A few days later, I was stranded between Kaduna and Abuja on my trip from Kano to Abuja because my car engine failed. He called, and I didn't pick; I don't even know his number. Later in the night, I received his messages on WhatsApp with a threat that he will make a video to tarnish the image of my business. Someone I was willing to help after months of buying a USED device from me is threatening me. I said he should go ahead because I can't entertain him anymore. In conclusion, a trade that I incurred a loss from is what some people are trying to justify as a scam. The beautiful part is I have made trades with hundreds of people here, and I would love two more people to come out and present a case in which they are still using a device I sold to them that is faulty and they contacted me for a replacement or refund, and I didn't do it instantly. "The hypocrite will always look for faults" - Ghazali. Those that are looking for a fault in me can justify something as woke as this; it doesn't matter. This is my own side and will no longer entertain him anymore. For those that believe in me without hearing from me, thank you so much.

Do you think that by the folly of man, the glory of God can be diminished? . I tell you, no kingdom of this earth, no rebellion of heart, no blasphemy of tongue can ever tarnish the majesty of the Almighty. His glory is not made by the hands of men, nor is it undone by their defiance. . Consider the arrogance of those who refuse to kneel, who claim that their disbelief can unmake the Creator. They are like madmen in a darkened cell, scratching the word ‘darkness’ upon the walls as though, by their crude mark, they could blot out the sun. But tell me, does the sun diminish because it is unseen by the blind? Does its light falter because a lunatic curses its name? No, my friend. The sun remains, burning with relentless brilliance, giving life to all who dwell beneath it, whether they acknowledge it or not. . So it is with God. His glory is eternal, unshaken by the denial of men. He is the architect of the heavens, the One who breathed life into dust and set the stars upon their courses. His majesty does not depend on our worship, yet it is we who are diminished when we turn away. For in refusing to see His light, we do not extinguish it—we only cast ourselves into the shadow of our own making. . Know that to deny God is not an act of power but of despair. It is the rejection of hope, the refusal to see the beauty written into the very fabric of existence. A man who scribbles darkness upon the walls of his soul does not conquer the light, he only blinds himself to it. Yet even in his rebellion, God’s glory shines undimmed. For the sun does not cease to rise because a man refuses to look upon it. And God does not cease to reign because His children wander from His embrace. . If you ever find yourself in doubt, remember this: the defiance of man is but a whisper against the roar of eternity. The glory of God is as unyielding as the mountains and as boundless as the sea. It is woven into the sunrise, the turning of the seasons, the song of creation itself. You cannot destroy it. You cannot unmake it. You can only choose whether to bask in its light or to linger in the shadows. . Take heart, then and do not be swayed by the noise of those who mock the divine. For their words are as fleeting as the wind but the glory of God is eternal. Acknowledge Him not because He needs your praise but because your soul needs His light. Worship Him not as a favor to the Almighty but as a declaration that you see, that you understand, that you are humbled by the grandeur of the One who crafted all that is and all that ever will be. . God’s glory is not diminished by denial, nor is it amplified by praise. But you, my friend—you are elevated when you bow before the Eternal. You are strengthened when you trust in the One who holds the stars in place. And you are transformed when you abandon the shadows of pride and step into the radiance of His truth. . Remember this always: the lunatic may scrawl his defiance but he cannot extinguish the light. The doubter may deny the sun but he cannot halt its rise. And the world may rage against the King of Kings but it cannot dethrone Him. Stand firm, therefore, as one who walks in the light of God. Let your life be a testimony that His glory endures forever, unshaken, unyielding and undeniable. . For in the end, my friend, it is not God who is diminished by our defiance. It is we. And it is not the sun that falters when we turn away—it is the world that grows colder in its absence. #ChristIsKing #WeAreTheStorm

Do you think that by the folly of man, the glory of God can be diminished? . I tell you, no kingdom of this earth, no rebellion of heart, no blasphemy of tongue can ever tarnish the majesty of the Almighty. His glory is not made by the hands of men, nor is it undone by their defiance. . Consider the arrogance of those who refuse to kneel, who claim that their disbelief can unmake the Creator. They are like madmen in a darkened cell, scratching the word ‘darkness’ upon the walls as though, by their crude mark, they could blot out the sun. But tell me, does the sun diminish because it is unseen by the blind? Does its light falter because a lunatic curses its name? No, my friend. The sun remains, burning with relentless brilliance, giving life to all who dwell beneath it, whether they acknowledge it or not. . So it is with God. His glory is eternal, unshaken by the denial of men. He is the architect of the heavens, the One who breathed life into dust and set the stars upon their courses. His majesty does not depend on our worship, yet it is we who are diminished when we turn away. For in refusing to see His light, we do not extinguish it—we only cast ourselves into the shadow of our own making. . Know that to deny God is not an act of power but of despair. It is the rejection of hope, the refusal to see the beauty written into the very fabric of existence. A man who scribbles darkness upon the walls of his soul does not conquer the light, he only blinds himself to it. Yet even in his rebellion, God’s glory shines undimmed. For the sun does not cease to rise because a man refuses to look upon it. And God does not cease to reign because His children wander from His embrace. . If you ever find yourself in doubt, remember this: the defiance of man is but a whisper against the roar of eternity. The glory of God is as unyielding as the mountains and as boundless as the sea. It is woven into the sunrise, the turning of the seasons, the song of creation itself. You cannot destroy it. You cannot unmake it. You can only choose whether to bask in its light or to linger in the shadows. . Take heart, then and do not be swayed by the noise of those who mock the divine.

The most mysterious chapter in the Sonam Wangchuk files is his ex-wife- Rebecca Norman. Sonam Wangchuk, son of a powerful Congress leader from Ladakh, graduated in 1987. Instead of taking up a regular job, he founded SECMOL, a Ladakh-based NGO. In 1991, Rebecca Norman, an American who graduated from SIT (School for International Training, known for producing intelligence operatives) didn’t pursue opportunities in the US. Instead, she travelled to India and joined SECMOL in remote Ladakh. Isn’t this timeline a little too convenient? She lived in Ladakh for nearly 10 years, worked closely with Wangchuk, married him, and later left him to return to the United States. It almost feels like she was sent on a mission, finished her assignment and vanished like a ghost (Hamza of Dhurandhar). Every trace of this chapter of Wangchuk’s life has been carefully erased from public records. Interestingly, as soon as she joined him, funding from the Ford Foundation (often described as a CIA offshoot) started pouring in. The bigger questions: Why has this entire phase of Wangchuk’s life been wiped clean from official narratives? Why has he received massive, consistent funding from Western NGOs throughout his career? And most important Why was Rebecca Norman specifically sent to Ladakh? I don't have answer of it but after doing some research I got some pieces of information. I don't know its relevant or not, I leave it on you On 21st May and 2nd November 1992, China conducted underground nuclear tests at the Lop Nor site, dangerously close to Ladakh. China also carried out ballistic missile tests in the same region later in the 1990s. The history of CIA-IB joint operations in these hills goes back to the 1960s. I don’t claim to have all the answers, but the pattern is too striking to ignore. GenZ of India deserves to know the full, unfiltered story.

Johnny Cash’s “Hurt” is considered one of the greatest cover songs ever. Its back story is incredible. Released in 2002, Cash worked with Rick Rubin to adapt the 1994 Nine Inch Nails song. The pair met in 1992 after Rubin saw a then 60-year old Cash perform at a Bob Dylan concert in NY. Cash was decades removed from his country peak and recently dropped by his record label. Rubin felt Cash still had more music to make and told him, “What I would do is let you sit down before a microphone with your guitar and sing any song you want to record.” When Rubin first pitched “Hurt” to Cash, the music legend balked. “I can’t do that song,” said Cash. “It’s not my style.” By 2002, though, Rubin and Cash had made 3 critically-acclaimed “American Recordings” albums and were working on a 4th. On the music annotation website Genius, Rubin explained their process: ➡️ “There were a lot of songs that he needed to be convincing about. Eventually, he trusted me enough that if I felt strongly about something, he’d do it. I would send him compilations of CDs of songs to listen to, and I remember that on several compilations in a row, “Hurt” was the first song. There’s just something about it. I imagined him saying those words being very powerful.” ⬅️ When Rubin told Trent Reznor — his friend and Nine Inch Nails lead singer — about the cover idea, Reznor was “flattered” but felt it was “a bit gimmicky”. Everything changed after Reznor saw Cash’s iconic “Hurt” music video (clip below). ➡️ “A CD shows up with the track…the song in particular is straight from the soul…it was a good version and surely wasn’t cringey or anything. But it felt like I was watching my girlfriend kiss somebody else. […] A few weeks later, a video tape shows up with Mark Romanek’s [music] video on it…I pop the video in and wow…tears welling, silence, goosebumps. Wow, I just lost my girlfriend because that’s not my song anymore. Then it all made sense to me. It made me really think about how powerful music is as a medium and an art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane…Some-f**king-how that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a wildly different era/genre but still retains sincerity and…every bit as pure. Things felt even stranger when he passed away [in 2003]. The song’s purpose shifted again. It’s extremely flattering as a writer to have your song chosen by someone whose a great writer and a great artist.” ⬅️

taehyun wrote 'bird of night' to give us comfort. a gentle hand reaching out in the quiet hours, when the world feels too heavy to carry on our shoulders. he crafted it for our sleepless nights, the ones where anxiety whispers the loudest, and peace feels the furthest from reach. he wrote it for the lonely parts of us; the parts we often hide from the world, the ones that ache to be seen and long to be understood. in every note and lyric, there's a quiet reassurance: you are not alone. his voice becomes a lullaby for the soul, wrapping around us like a soft blanket in the darkness. 'bird of night' is more than just a song. it’s a sanctuary, a refuge we run to when everything else feels like it’s falling apart. in the stillness of the night, when tears fall without warning and our hearts feel unbearably heavy, taehyun's warm voice finds us. it holds us. the song doesn’t try to fix the pain, but it stays with us in it, like a quiet friend who simply sits beside you and says, i see you. i'm here. there's something so achingly beautiful about how 'bird of night' touches the most rawest parts of us. it doesn’t shy away from the darkness, instead it walks into it with us, hand in hand, and lights a little candle of hope. and sometimes, that little light is all we need to make it through. it heals from the inside out with tenderness. like a soft breeze after a storm, reminding us that we’ve survived this far, and we’re not alone in our fight to keep going. taehyun gave us this song not just as an artist, but as a human being who understands the quiet battles we fight. and in doing so, he gave us more than music. he gave us a piece of his heart, and a reason to hold on and keep going every single day.

Mark Cuban had a refreshingly grounded take on extreme wealth when Theo Von asked him about it. Theo wondered what happens when someone gets so rich they can “have anything and get away with it.” Cuban basically said: nah, that’s not my world. He still hangs with his high school buddies and old rugby teammates. He lived with six guys in a three-bedroom apartment when he first moved to Dallas. No butlers, no chauffeur, no “look at me” lifestyle. He admitted the paranoid “rich game” has crossed his mind (especially after seeing what happened with Diddy), but he hates living that way. He’d rather stay normal than become the guy who thinks money makes him smarter or untouchable. “I love having a lot of money… but I was happy when I was poor. I was just happier when I was rich.” Simple, honest, and rare coming from a billionaire. Have you noticed wealth changing people around you — or changing how you see yourself? What’s one thing you’d never want money to change about you?

Man… outside of memorizing The Eminem Show (clean version), the FIRST tape that ever got me into music was J. Cole’s The Come Up. From that moment on I was locked in. I went to every show I could — my first being when he opened for Estelle at UCR and I drove from the Bay just to be front row. I still remember coming home, downloading Friday Night Lights, closing my eyes and listening front to back trying to absorb it. His music wasn’t just music to me. It was a cheat code to life. It taught me how to think, how to move, how to chase a dream. Every drive was Cole. Every girl I dated got sick of it and after every breakup I’d get the same text: “A Cole song came on today, thought of you.” Funny enough, every YouTube video I ever posted ended with the instrumental to Return of Simba. That song meant everything to me. I’ll admit there were times I crossed into full STAN territory. In 2018, after everything fell apart in my life, I convinced myself and the world that I had to walk out and introduce Cole at one of his shows. Why? God knows. I bought tickets to 5 shows across the country, met security, had the strangest spiritual conversations with people who somehow knew him. I got close. Years later I told Ibrahim H. who happened to be at the hookah lounge I was at the whole story, secretly hoping he’d say “Cole needs to hear this.” He didn’t. He said, “Sounds like God was with you. Keep fighting.” That was enough. The last show I ever thought I’d attend was the day after I left my first rehab stint. In rehab all we had were MP3 players and I had his entire discography on mine. That night felt like closure. I silently thanked him for everything his music did for my life and let the chapter close. Since then I’ve been a quiet supporter. Every drop at midnight. Every release an instant buy. But this last Dreamville Fest pulled me back in and for the first time ever I didn’t record, didn’t pull my phone out, didn’t perform for the moment. I just experienced it. And it was the greatest show I’ve ever been to. So yeah, the hype for The Fall Off is real. This Friday I’ll do what I’ve always done by cleaning the house, setying the lights, sitying down, and really listening. I don’t know where I’d be, or if I’d even be here, without this man’s music. I used to want to gatekeep him. Now I just feel gratitude watching how big he’s become. Thank you, J. Cole Always appreciated. Truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan.. haha just playing.

Jim Jarmusch on how he got the idea to make "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" (1999): "It really came about from wanting to work with Forest Whitaker, who I met when I was going to the Super-8 lab when I was working on 'Year of the Horse' (1997), or maybe on the video. I ran into him a couple of times and we would just start talking and he said to me the first time, "Hey, if you ever think of anything for me, let me know, I'd love to work with you." I couldn't get him out of my head, certain qualities that he has and it was more from talking to him as a person than his work. I was very, very moved by his portrayal of Charlie Parker in 'Bird' (1988). I thought it was a beautiful performance, although I'm a big be-bop fan and I did not like the movie in terms of its slant on depicting the life of Bird - how can you make a film about Bird in which Miles Davis is never even mentioned? There were a lot of things really odd to me about it. Miles' estate probably refused to let him use his name. With good reason. They usually use this very soft, gentle, poignant side of Forest and he gets cast as the loveable soft guy. And I'm really attracted to that quality, but there is a whole other side to him, just physically, his presence, there's more there than that and I wanted to get both of those things in a character. So I started thinking how can I do that? He should be a warrior and I thought he should be a hitman, that sort of cliché and then the samurai thing came to me because in eastern-culture warriors, there is a whole spiritual side to their training. If you look at the Shaolin monks in China, they're martial arts experts, but they are priests; they are enlightened religious teachers, but the physical side is also completely intertwined. So that gave me the idea to give him some depth. Then the book 'Hugga Kurai', because it's a text from the 1750s written by an old samurai as a guide to samurai life and philosophy. It contains so many things, minor, mundane details about the food you eat, or how your house is built, how often you clean your armour, to incredibly deep Zen philosophy, and it's all in this book and it jumps from one to the next. Then I just started collecting disparate ideas; I was interested in the decline of organised crime families in New York because I used to live right across from the Gambino family social club in Little Italy, and in the late 70s and early 80s when they were unravelling, and I would always see them on the street - John Gotti and Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano and Neil Belacroche and all those wise guys. So I collected some ideas about them, and the idea of pigeons came from the fact that on the roof behind me, there was an old Italian guy who had a pigeon coop for years. He died just before we started filming actually, and his birds were moved away, but I used to watch him fly his birds a lot and there was something very beautiful in that movement. Sometimes I'd just look out the window on a Saturday morning and see them moving, and the light would shift and they would go from black to white to black to white to black to white, and that was a detail. I would just collect and collect, and then I sat down and tried to weave all these disparate things into something." ("Jim Jarmusch - part three", The Guardian, 2000) P.S: On this day, 27 years ago, "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" (1999) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

#TuJulietJattDi #Heewab #SyedRazaAhmed #JasmeetKaur What a fab episode 🔥 What a serve 🔥 Nawab totally slayed it today & finally #Heewab's official grihapravesh done in Brar Mansion 🥳.. Nawab will never let anyone touch Heer's dignity at all ..He went completely feral today while beating the shit out of that security for daring to touch his wife 🥶..He does not even see the surroundings around him when it comes to his wife's self respect & honor 🔥.. Any other ML would hv started questioning Heer only that what was she doing outside with the car as its embarrassing in front of all but when it comes to Nawab , he simply reads Heer's eyes & body language and then automatically guesses that why is she making excuses to stay out from the party --so no questions asked & direct action 🤪😍..This is called Trust & Mutual Understanding 👍..He knows why she wanted to stay out to maintain peace inside the party since Gulaab still dint fully accept her from heart & she knows that he understood her reasons.. Somewhere Nawab sensed that his mom only must hv reprimanded Heer from entering the house & thats why he deliberately lifted Heer in his arms in front of everyone & entered the Brar Mansion while telling everyone that "This is my wife Mrs.Heer Brar & today is our official Grihapravesh in this house " ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Loved the way Nawab enters with Heer in his arms & then swings her in happiness in the middle of the hall with rose petals falling on her & he doing that cute nose touch with her while telling her "Welcome Home Mrs.Brar" 😍..This was such a fairytale welcome for his wife just like he promised before leap that after marriage I will carry u in my arms & bring u to my house 🤩.. The best Faaaahh moment for Gulaab comes when Nawab tells Gulaab that "Mom finally we can have the family photo as my family is now complete with my wife" while holding Heer's hand & everyone clapping for them ❤️..Gulaab's sulking face was worth watching here 🤣.. #Heewab finally have a family photo with Brars 🔥 .. Nawab Brar is indeed Husband Goals & the best ITV ML husband in recent times 😌..The standards he set is difficult to surpass now in my eyes for any other show & I actually watch lots of shows 😅.. PS : Dheeme dheeme song from Dhurandhar 2 during #Heewab's entry in Brar House was so apt ..Gave the Power couple feel 🔥
