Guillermo del ToroIn the medieval tradition, Beksinski seems to believe art to be a forewarning about the fragility of the fleshโ whatever pleasures we know are doomed to perishโ thus, his paintings manage to evoke at once the process of decay and the ongoing struggle for life.

Guillermo del ToroI absolutely am a big Call of Duty fan. Every time a new Call of Duty comes out โ I never play the games online, but I play the solo version super fast. My family knows not to interrupt me the day they come out, they know it's a sacred date for me. I think my favorite visually, of all of the Call of Duty games -- even if it's not as sassy and high tech -- is World at War because. That game has some really incredible episodes in Berlin and the Japanese fields. It's really quite arresting for me, visually, and it was very immersive. But I love Modern Warfare, too.
