IMPORTANT:
So I’m moving over to a new tumblr. It’s more a new version of this blog, everything’s more or less the same as this one now but it’s a clean slate. I’ve thought about doing it for a while because I think this blog has naturally developed and changed with time and I’d like to start from scratch so to speak on a new blog. DM me if you want the new blog.
Although its usually Stanley Kubrick behind the camera on all of his movies, there is always a credit for cinematographer. Gilbert Taylor gets the credit on Dr Strangelove (1964). GIlbert began his career in England in 1948. After Strangelove, he went on to photograph The Beatles in A Hard Days Night, and other best films The Bedford Incident, and Star Wars. Other career highlights include Repulcson for Roman Polanski and Frenzy for Alfred Hitchcock.

Here is a picture of J.R.R. Tolkien looking at some flowers in a greenhouse. Apparently, he was the worst person to take walks with because he liked to stop and observe every tree he passed very carefully. We can only assume that he did this because he was waiting for them all to reveal their true Ent nature and speak to him. Ents do speak slowly, after all. They were probably between words while he was watching.
