Dang female emcees used to rap so hard what happened

But Jean Reno on drums though

The films of Tony Scott (1983-1996)

This is still my favorite thing Tony Scott has done. Mainly because it is quintessential Tony in its style, rampant editing, color grading, giant explosions, plus featuring an all-star cast of Clive Owen, Gary Oldman, James Brown, Danny Trejo, and even a Marilyn Manson cameo. He was one of the good ones and definitely shaped Hollywood cinema in the 80s and 90s. I feel for the Scott family and their loss.

R.I.P. Tony Scott

Last week artist Tracey Dear lit up 5 Tampa bridges in a project titled Agua Luces. Backed by Mayor Bob Buchorn, Tampa Electric and Peoples Gas, and the Lights On Tampa Committee, this will be a permanent fixture to the City of Tampa. When the installation is complete, 9 bridges will be lit in total. The Platt Street Bridge, the Brorein Street Bridge, the Tampa-Hillsborough Expressway Authority overpass, the Kennedy Boulevard Bridge, and the CSX Railroad Bridge were all illuminated in a ceremony on August 10, 2012.

Aaah Tampa in neon! Hey if it took a bunch of rich curmudgeonly old dudes to get this project going, so be it. Looking good, Tampa Bay.
