Pizza at Weddings 

Melissa McEwan:

So, one of the common responses I’m seeing — mostly on Twitter, although it came up in comments here, too — to the Indiana pizza place refusing service is: “Har har who even has pizza at a wedding?”

Poor people. That’s who has pizza at a wedding. [...]

It’s not unusual around here to see weddings, or funerals, catered by a pizza place. Pizza is all that many people can afford.

Point taken. All the more reason, though, to oppose these laws that open the doors to discrimination.

A Complete Guide to the Lenses Used by Stanley Kubrick 

Fascinating 12-minute video narrated by Joe Dunton. If you care about your work, you care about your tools.

Update: Another video, specifically on Kubrick’s use of the Mitchell BNC camera and that amazing f/0.7 Zeiss lens on Barry Lyndon. I love the story at the beginning about how he got Warner Brothers to just give him the BNC cameras.
