Michael Shannon Reads Insane Sorority Letter

Like Christopher Walken or Werner Herzog, Michael Shannon could probably read a telephone book and make it sound like the most magnetic thing to listen to. Give him a vitriolic sorority letter? Amazing. I missed the whole drama about this letter last week, but here's Shannon reading it in his own magnificently ranty way we've come to know and love from his roles in Boardwalk Empire, Take Shelter, Premium Rush, etc. Warning: profanities ahead.

For the Star Wars Fan with Everything #12

A very cool open letter from Steve Spielberg to George Lucas that appeared in Variety congratulating Lucas on the success of Star Wars. These guys really knew how to work it back in the day... this kind of showy, elbow-nudging levity amongst filmmakers is rare today. Imagine say, James Cameron doing this to er, Michael Bay? Unlikely.
