As Guy Burnet speaks about his “Landman” experience, he’s affable and easy to engage with, not unlike the character on screen. As Burnet describes his on-set experience, he’s quick to highlight the chemistry among castmates. He recalls going out for drinks with Sam Elliot and Andy Garcia and crowns Billy Bob Thornton as “just the coolest guy — a rock and roller.”

In a candid interview at the link in bio, Burnet gives SHARP his style tips for West Texas and tells us what to expect from Charlie Newsom in the latest season of “Landman”.

This year’s best watches don’t just reflect the wide-ranging tastes of watch enthusiasts, but a growing maturity as well. Where just a few years ago the addition of a robin’s egg blue dial was enough to send the watch world into a frenzy, this year’s most covetable offerings — of which there were certainly too many to list here — are distinguished by craftsmanship, creativity, and nuance. At the link in bio, explore our favourites of the year.

While not every sport permits jewellery to be worn on-field, chains and rings and bracelets are becoming a key part of an athlete’s wardrobe. If they can’t wear them while in uniform, you can almost certainly catch them dripped out for a tunnel walk or a pre-game (or race) conference. There’s something undeniably appealing about an athlete in jewellery. Maybe it’s the juxtaposition of the masculine and perceived feminine, the idea of wearing something beautiful while taking part in something so pointedly aggressive.

In the current cinematic landscape, dominated by adaptations and franchises, the success of an original film like “Sinners” stands as a monumental achievement. But beyond the box office numbers and critical acclaim, the film represents a moment of personal and artistic triumph — particularly for its star, @michaelbjordan.

At the link in bio we spoke with the star and @theauthenticdelroylindo on how this film was brought to life.
