By now you've definitely seen these shoes. It seems like everyone is wearing them right now, but I haven't seen a review of them yet. My friend DodotheExtinct asked me how they were and she inspired me to write this review for other curious buyers.

Spotlight: Adam Stockhausen

Production Designer, The Wonderful Story Henry Sugar

Oscar winning production designer Adam Stockhausen (not pictured above, that’s Benedict Cumberbatch), whose work you may know from Wes Anderson films like The Grand Budapest Hotel, Asteroid City, The French Dispatch, Isle of Dogs, and Moonrise Kingdom, as well as titles like Bridge of Spies, and West Side Story (2021), took the time to answer some questions.

Which details from or aspects of The Wonderful Story Henry Sugar did you focus the most on while adapting it to the screen? How did you meld Roald Dahl and Wes’s worlds?

The details on this one started with Dahl’s writing hut! We matched the details pretty carefully and exactly. As soon as we step outside of the hut though we start to move through the world of the story and the world of the stage at the same time. Wes had the idea of how he wanted to do this from the very beginning. My main challenge was trying to figure out how to pull it off—making the parts move and getting each to have the right detail.

What’s a small change you made on a project that ended up having an unexpectedly significant impact? 

Lots of times this happens—where what seems like a small thing at the time becomes a very significant turning point. I’m in Berlin now writing this and remembering being here scouting for East Berlin for Bridge of Spies. We were struggling to find a section of town that still felt old enough to show the early 60s, and decided to take a chance on a quick search in Poland. That quick search changed the whole production plan and ultimately gave us the look of our East Berlin.

How has technology changed the way you approach your work? 

Technology has definitely changed the way we plan the work. We used to model everything in cardboard or sometimes just plan in two dimensions with pencil and paper. We can now plan in 3-dimensional space using modeling programs and see what real lenses will do.  This allows for more accurate planning and makes scenery moves like the casino set in Henry Sugar possible.

Do you have any signature easter eggs you like to leave? Any small details that you are particularly fond of? 

I wouldn’t say there are easter eggs in this one. But there are loads of special details! I think my favorite might be the levitation boxes where we painted a perspective view of the background onto a prop box. The actor sitting on the box appears to be floating in a very special and theatrical way.

Did you talk about reflecting the iconic Quentin Blake illustrations in production design? How would you go about doing that? 

Not really. They are such incredible drawings and I’d say they’ve been inspiring me since I saw them as a child! But for this the starting point was really the machine Wes devised to move us through the story—and pairing that to specific references scene by scene.

There is such an intentionality to the aesthetics of a Wes world. Is there a set or frame that took you a long time to get perfectly right? 

All of them! It’s a very labor-intensive process getting these frames right. Occasionally one will click right away, but usually it’s a process of refining and refining. The jungle for instance went from sketches to models to samples and back again several times before the final look settled.

If you had to present one frame that showcases the best of your work, what would it be? 

Oh my. Maybe the jungle? I really enjoyed making the jungle!

With all the moving sets in the trailer for The Wonderful Story Henry Sugar, it feels reminiscent of a theatre production. Are there distinct differences in approach between film and theatre and how much do you blur the lines between them in your work? 

I think the lines are blurred completely! Or maybe they aren’t even there. I love that Henry Sugar is so incredibly theatrical in its storytelling.  It allows us to show the artifice of the sets all the time which somehow makes them even more satisfying when they finally do line up and create a complete picture. I think the casino set is a perfect example—the pauses where it all lines up for a second are even more enjoyable because we get to see it broken apart and sliding away.

Thanks, Adam!

Sly 2: Band of Thieves | Saturday, 09.14.24

On this day, Sly 2: Band of Thieves (sequel to Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus) was developed by Sucker Punch Productions and released on the PlayStation 2 by Sony Computer Entertainment America in North America 20 years ago!

And, according to Metacritic (as of 2024), it's still the highest rated game in the series (with a metascore average of 88 out of 100).

A year later, it was followed by Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves (2005).

the secret to finding bad food pics is knowing that it’s actually extremely difficult to photograph food in a way that looks appetizing, especially with smartphone cameras, so if you trawl through places where amateurs are posting their mundane meals you will stumble across The Horrors

Jack Sparrow. Be it known that you have been charged, tried, and convicted for your willful commission of crimes against the Crown, said crimes being numerous in quantity and sinister in nature, the most egregious of these to be cited herewith... impersonating an officer of the Spanish Royal Navy.

“¿Qué es esto?”

The young man froze, mid-reach over the heavy desk, his back to the cabin door.

He’d been caught.

“¿Teniente? Creo que estás en el barco equivocado.”

The ‘teniente’ in question whirled around, hands whipping behind his back, the ridiculous bicorn hat he wore barely balancing, the heavy red and gold sleeves almost to his finger tips.

The Capitán stared.

“Um,” a very un-Spanish voice broke the silence. “Ah. Think I might be on the wrong ship.”

And just at that moment, the oversized hat started to tip forward, his two clumsy hands fumbled to catch it - only to shove stiff gold-braided cuffs right in his eyes.

“... ow.”

The bicorn tumbled to the floorboards.

A pair of heavily lined eyes snapped up in fear.

But, unexpectedly, the Capitán laughed. Loud, unrestrained and startling in the small cabin.

The imposter furtively glanced past him to the cabin door, but in the tight space figured it too much of a risk to try. Even if the Spaniard was laughing himself to tears.

“English?” Capitán wiped his eyes. “What is your name, niñito?”

“Um... Jack.”

“Then it is your lucky day, Jack.” The smile lingered on his lips. “For I am Capitán Armando Salazar, and you have amused me. For that, I will spare your life.”

“Oh?” Jack brightened a bit. “Well, um. Since you’re in such a good mood, Captain, maybe you could - um. See your way to letting me go?”

“Not yet.”
