Kyle Cooper on the Se7en Main titles
Here’s an interesting little anecdote from Kyle about what is easily his most famous sequence:
I remember trying to make a point to David Fincher about why I shot God being cut out of a dollar bill and what that shot suggested to me. I pointed out that I was not necessarily trying to desecrate an American institution (although I was), instead I respectfully and thoughtfully explained to...
The Retox for MixMo
In my response to coketalk’s stated desire to upgrade her bridal cleanse beverages with vodka, I mentioned my friend Sother’s drink, the “Retox,” a cleanse-inspired tequila cocktail.

It was a smartly manifested little brick to be sure, its combination of brown and green oddly compelling, but the iPhone represented an object so profound that multiple industries were warped by its mere proximity. You could hate the company utterly, vomiting at the sight of their vile and bitten crest, and...
I’ve said this before, as has everyone I know, but I would not be where I am today without Steve Jobs and Apple.
Their products, though it seems silly to think of them as mere products, especially right now, didn’t just make my work (and thus my life) possible, they got me excited about it. They and the company that made them and the man that made it all happen all inspired me to do...
