The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt from “Citizenship in a Republic”   Check out something amazing thanks to Pixar with this The Incredible clip   Thanks to at @sirwmichaelw for sending us a question on Twitter! “Do you try to separate personal preference from what you think is objectively good, or do you hope that you're educated in film enough that those are one and the same?”   “The great missing piece of movie-going experience in America is that we watch something the same way we are eating the popcorn in the seat. We’re just sort of shoveling it down our throats and then we go out and do something else…” - Jeffrey Overstreet   Jeffrey’s book recommendation: Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way” Claire’s book recommendation: Judy Greer’s “I Don't Know What You Know Me From: My Life as a Co-Star”   Films Referenced - Ratatouille, and Inside Out   Headshots are awesome things, Jeffrey’s was taken by - Tineke Smith Be sure to support Jeffrey Overstreet and check out his book on film, “Through a Screen Darkly”   You can find Jeffrey on Facebook, Twitter, and his website.   The Sound Advice Tour Digital Download is out, use the coupon code “ SATFBDD15” at checkout to save some money!
