film guru scott rocks for scott the academy called parker communion because of the sheer breath of film styles he used did he have a signature. i don't think so not least the classic sort of europe what the europeans called you a true or some one who tries to tell the same kind of story as distinct way of looking at or have what parker was he was more a craftsman i mean he made socially conscious thrillers like the mississippi burning or midnight express but he also made musicals paint for the madonna starring musical. literary adaptations of the comedies and basically he was he was a really a workaday filmmaker a crash and i think that comes from his background as you mentioned in the commercials directory started in the british t.v. commercials industry and i think that informed how you approach cinema he was looking to just sell one certain type of story or out one specific look. he was more interested in using the potential so much different types of stories and really did also technically push the boundaries of what cinema to do now i have to say i'm embarrassed to admit i've sayin

where 3 or the studios are filled and scott rocks. the production guard said it's scary scary is it have you ever known anything like this no not in my 20 some years of reporting on the film industry and really if you look back on the history of film industry there's nothing never anything like this i mean during world war 2 you know bombs were dropping in in berlin and dropping in in london and they were still making movies in those kind of countries at that time there stole the cinemas are still open this type of complete shutdown has has never happened and it's a real i think almost next essential threat to the film industry particularly in hollywood which because of the u.s. having problems dealing with the cold in 1000 pandemic haven't really been able to get started at all the. and the production that tries to get started is under the risk that they could quickly be shut down and have to face that risk of locking everything down again so they can't shoot in hollywood they're going elsewhere yeah it's funny you know i mean they u

and are joined now by our film guru mr scott rocks. and you've interviewed there's a number of times actually he wanted to be a pain to begin to be screwed yes that's true that was his sort of plan a but i think i mean if you look at his movies i mean he basically paints with with his camera i mean and it's interesting because his biggest inspiration as a painter was hopper and if you look at vendors film some of the scenes look like they were taken directly from whatever hopper painting and also like copper he was really inspired by sort of american iconic graffiti you know the big wide open spaces the empty highway that the neon lights in the cities but because vendors wasn't american isn't american he looked at these images from a distance sort of saw a bit of an alienated way and and saw them and made them look seems strange and different and i think that's probably how twice inspired so many also american directors to take a look at these images that they think they know so well and see them with sort of new foreign eyes with the

. >> heather scott had grown up in little rock, arkansas.as, and that year she was teaching 9th grade english. >> the teachers at their school would go out for drinks. they were friendly, and they were flirting with each other as young people do, and one thing led to another. >> now, eventually did you observe that there was something more between heather and the defendant? >> yes. there was a halloween party, and i noticed that they were getting closer. >> i would see him a little more often, and i think a couple of times he came over to our townhouse. >> david temple was always after the big prize. even though he was married, even though he had one child and another on the way, heather scott was now the trophy. >> he seemed to be very fond of her. >> of course there was some lust and infatuation, but heather was sought after by not just david but by other teachers. >> a real life texas soap opera is now playing out at the faculty lounge. there's suddenly a love triangle between heather, quinton, and david. >> quinton was also married, but

shery: scott, you mentioned the pandemic, taiwan, hong kong, the human rights issues. what else? we have the tech war. have we hit rocksions? what else is left out there to have tension on? scott: the list is quite long. let's go with one of the most important, that the u.s. moves ahead with some of their most important restrictions on finance. the trump administration essentially coming out with their own policies to push chinese companies off of american security markets in the beginning of 2022, instead of giving them a three-year window, as congress would like to. that would lead to financial decoupling. and probably most of them, one way or another, is reversible. the real challenge is if there is a conflict in the south china sea or over taiwan, that is really lights out on any type of engagement or even modified engagement, so we really need to avoid that type of hostilities breaking out. shery: who loses out more than? because all things are not equal. for example, you talk about journalists having their visas revoked. there is plenty of other journalists covering the u.s.. there are not that many journalists

scott: as you know, we probably have one of the best balance sheets in the industry, and one of the best rocksinventories of the industry. that allows us to start the growth framework earlier than most companies. too many companies have too much leverage and will have to deal ever, so we are starting growth rate of 5% in 2021 as long as brent is that $45 or higher. with theover $48, so excitement about vaccines in the news, it continues to move up. the framework started talking with some of our larger investors over a year ago about the best mechanism. if we are going to lower our growth rate from the mid-teens and have significant excess cash flow, what is the best framework and they mentioned the variable dividend. we are a cyclical commodity business, so we have a strong base dividend of 5% plus production growth. the rest of our excess cash flow will be dispersed in regard to a variable dividend. the boards evaluating this policy will be coming out next february. it will be paid probably in arrears on a quarterly basis, likely in 2022, but we are showing excess cash flow, significant numbe
