The Impossible Cool

Ran out of creative energy this afternoon and turned to one of my favorite antidotes, the minimalist website fffound!, an amazing and varied firehose of images gathered from around the web. At the top of the page was a shot linked from another great site, The Impossible Cool - this quirky shot of Jack Nicholson and Sean Penn. Not a bad transfusion of visual energy for two mouse clicks. Reminded me I've got to finish watching the documentary footage from Kubrick's The Shining extras dvd – fascinating footage of Nicholson warming up and going over his lines while Kubrick blocks the shots and decides on camera position. The documentary then follows up with the actual scene as it ran in the film – and you appreciate how truly brilliant Nicholson is.

Back to work...
