Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is a searing tale of grief, rage, and justice. When a mother, played brilliantly by Frances McDormand, challenges the local police with three bold billboards, she ignites a storm of reckoning in a quiet town. With razor-sharp writing, powerhouse performances, and moral complexity at its core, the film is an unforgettable exploration of pain, resilience, and the cost of demanding answers.

Nitric oxide keeps you “alive”. Without it, erections fail, aging accelerates & heart attack risk triples. Here are 5 science-backed methods to boost it naturally: 1. Don’t use mouthwash

Every Olympic endurance coach in the world now tapes their athletes' mouths shut at night because a Swedish lab proved in 1995 that the nose produces a gas the mouth cannot, and that single gas determines whether your blood absorbs 100% of the oxygen you inhale or only 82%. The gas is nitric oxide. The lab was the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. The discovery was published in Nature Medicine that same year, and it quietly rewrote everything respiratory physiology thought it knew about why humans have a nose in the first place. Here is what they actually found. The empty air-filled cavities inside your skull, the ones anatomy textbooks called evolutionary leftovers for a hundred years, are not empty and not useless. The lining of those sinuses contains an enzyme called inducible nitric oxide synthase. It runs continuously. It produces large amounts of nitric oxide gas. That gas sits in your nasal cavity at concentrations hundreds of times higher than anywhere else in your body. The Karolinska team measured it. Air leaving the nose contains roughly 56 parts per billion of nitric oxide. Air leaving the mouth contains 14. Air leaving the trachea, below both, contains 6. The nose is the only factory. Then they ran the experiment that changed sports medicine. When you inhale through your nose, that nitric oxide rides the airstream down into your lungs. It hits the small blood vessels surrounding your alveoli and forces them to dilate. More blood flows past more oxygen, and more oxygen crosses into your bloodstream. The exact figure they measured was an 18% increase in arterial oxygen uptake compared to mouth breathing the same air. Same lungs. Same oxygen in the room. Same heart rate. One nostril of difference and your blood is carrying nearly a fifth more fuel. The reverse is what should haunt anyone who mouth breathes at night. Mouth breathing bypasses the sinuses entirely. The nitric oxide never enters the lungs. Pulmonary blood vessels stay constricted. Less oxygen crosses into the blood. The heart has to pump harder to deliver the same oxygen to the same tissues. A 2008 review in the Anatomical Record showed mouth breathers develop measurably higher pulmonary artery pressure over time, simply because the gas designed to lower it never arrives. There is a second finding most people miss. Nitric oxide is antimicrobial. It directly inhibits the replication of viruses and bacteria in the upper airway. During the COVID pandemic, researchers in the European Journal of Pharmacology proposed that habitual mouth breathers were getting hit harder partly because they had bypassed the body's first chemical line of defense. The nose was not just a filter. It was a chemical weapons factory aimed at every pathogen trying to reach the lungs. The implication is the part that should change how you sleep tonight. Your body built a free 18% oxygen upgrade and a free antiviral system into the same organ. Both only activate when air passes through your nose. Both shut off the moment your mouth opens. Half the adult population sleeps with their mouth open and has no idea they are running their lungs at 82% capacity for a third of their life. The fix costs nothing. A strip of tape across the lips at night. That is the entire intervention. The most expensive thing in human performance is the oxygen you already paid for and never absorbed.

An AI film for Doubters. Made with Flick.

I was looking forward to going to the cinema to watch The Odyssey. It would have been the first time going in a decade. I love epic films. But I’m not going now for this film is going to be woke crap. Helen Of Troy is now black. And Achilles is a trans man. I hate Hollywood.

You want me to believe this malnourished freak is supposed to be Achilles.... Achilles the Greek and Roman embodiment of masculine human perfection...? FUCK OFF Christopher Nolan, Fuck right off.

If you paid me to ruin a movie, I still couldn’t have done it this masterfully

I remember rehearsing for this bit on the sidewalk outside of the Tonight Show with @billyjoel and his band. I asked him, “Should we just do The Lion Sleeps Tonight?” There were two other songs. He said, “Well let’s just try it now with my band.” And that turned into three doo-wop songs on an NYC street corner. And THAT turned into this bit. Happy birthday to the one and only.

Imagine sitting in a theatre in 1999 & seeing this for the first time.

As contagious as it is to watch Belushi, you just can't take your eyes off of Aykroyd. The sheer amount of talent on that small stage is staggering. The Blues Brothers performing 'Soul Man' live on SNL, in 1978. 48 years apart yet it is still incredibly impressive.

1 year ago I was trying to shoot a dialogue scene in a cafe with two actors. A simple scene like that took me weeks to organize, days to rehearse and shoot and would cost some money. Now I am lying on my couch with a laptop on my chest doing scenes like this. AI video generation is a gift from heaven from people like us who got f***ed and betrayed by Hollywood. This is only the beginning. Epic Naval Warfare with a dumb eagle flying through it 😄Made with @openart_ai OpenArt CPP

"Ramble On" is 56 years old and Robert Plant just walked onto The Late Show and made it sound like he wrote it this morning.

Watching Gary Oldman crack up at fart sounds dubbed into his own scenes and laughing until he’s in tears might just be the purest joy you’ll see all day.

What is the single funniest line Wodehouse ever wrote? No wrong answers, only joy.

The film industry’s strong reaction against Seedance 2.0 regarding “copyright infringements” and also the threat to the very existence of the film industry is just a knee jerk reaction and once they get over that , they will stare at the much bigger picture A bunch of viral clips like Tom Cruise vs Brad Pitt rooftop fight, Spider Man swinging through complex cities, Baahubali level war sequences made in minutes have exposed one naked truth that the entire multi thousand crore, years long in making etc are going to become ancient myths which future generations might not even believe they happened The real earthquake is not the copyright noise. The real earthquake is the realisation for all investors and makers regarding the drastic reduction in time and cost of making films. Right now, a big Bollywood or Hollywood “tentpole” will have gigantic sets or some thousands of VFX shots, 1 to 2 years of shooting, and then forever post production overall costing 300 to 1500 crores and then , if the likes of Seedance 2.0 (and advanced versions of whatever will come in the next 3 to 6 months) can generate theatrical quality visuals from a few detailed prompts , won’t all the investors stop dead in their tracks ? Once the A I models reach consistent theatrical resolution full length feature capability (which could be months, or a year away), the old way of making films will becomes pre historic . Why spend hundreds of crores and years in building a massive ancient kingdom set when a prompter can type” Epic war sequence, 5000 warriors clashing on a rain soaked mountain fortress at golden hour, camera sweeping like in Bahubali , ultra realistic, cinematic lighting, Dolby Atmos sound design” etc and Bingo ! It’s ready The films and productions that will be thrown into total chaos right now will be any big VFX heavy films currently in production or pre production (think upcoming Avatar sequels, Marvel/DCU phases, various Indian biggies etc.). Their entire pipeline will become obsolete overnight This is exactly like the Industrial Revolution where physical muscle became irrelevant ..Works like pulling, pushing, lifting etc have been taken over by the machine . Now the AI video generators have done the same to the “creative class”. All those highly paid, union protected “creative minds” with their years of craft, their “vision”, their “experience” are about to become irrelevant The only people who will remain essential are the prompters and they are not even a part of the film industry. A 18 year old student, Reddit idle chatters, gaming kids, YouTubers, or random bored guys sitting in their bedrooms or bathrooms , even in some tier 2 town will be the ones who will be making the next mega block busters .This is not “the end of cinema”. This is the end of cinema as an elitist, gate kept, insanely expensive industry. This is the birth of true democratization. A 19 year old with talent and killer prompting skills who doesn’t have money to even come to Mumbai to try for access to the film industry , can now make a film that looks better than 90% of the multi crore costing films released in the last decade with his pocket change. The industry screamed when cameras went digital. They screamed when editing went non linear. They screamed when VFX replaced practical effects. They will scream now. But screaming won’t stop any in coming technology . The likes of SEE DANCE 2.0 just handed a god like power to anyone with imagination Great prompters will be the new movie moguls . Welcome to the Industrial Revolution of cinema, where instead of labour becoming irrelevant creators will become irrelevant The challenge of cinema is no longer about how to make , but it’s about what to make ? That’s because from among the thousands of the films that will be made , only the best will survive and that’s the only truth which will remain The water is just drawing in now .. and it’s just a matter of time before the Tsunami hits

Luckily, yesterday, before CapCut shut down Seedance 2.0, I was able to create this 15-second continuous single-shot action sequence with a hard noir aesthetic. And what can I say… This is the most mind-blowing action sequence I’ve ever seen generated with AI 🤯 It doesn’t fall short of Sin City at all. I’m sure Frank Miller would love it. Big words.

It’s so over.

It is extremely hard to tell this is AI, and we are not even halfway through 2026. This is going to be a crazy year.

Ennio Morricone and “Gabriel’s Oboe” from The Mission, one of the most magical musical moments in cinema history.
