I think the BFI or Arrow would do a phenomenal job, too. Would love to see it bundled with The Fountain of Youth

you alternate

he died at his typewriter. Contrast that with Don Simpson, who had a cocaine-induced heart attack on his toilet while being fellated by two escorts.

He wasn't difficult to work with. He had a hard time with producers, but actors and technicians adored collaborating with him.

let the grownups talk, dear

The Munich Filmmuseum has done a tremendous job with preserving the short works and unfinished pieces Welles work on during the last years of his life, such as The Dreamers. The script he and Oja Kodar wrote for THE BIG BRASS RING is really brilliant, and it's a shame that people like Robert Redford and Clint Eastwood…

His performance in John Boorman's The Emerald Forest is really tremendous. Just a wonderful presence in so many films.

Hey, blame your uneducated populace, not me!

It's genuinely pleasurable to watch America implode under its own hubris and idiocy

Alan Parker has directed some phenomenal films. SHOOT THE MOON in particular is stunning

Poor Jodie. Like Emilio Estevez, she keeps directing films and hoping that one of them will have an impact and mean something.

still is! I saw a recentish photo of her with Robert De Niro and Jennifer Connelly at a screening of Once Upon a Time in America

No mention that this is based on the once-white hot spec screenplay A Killing on Carnival Row, which Neil Jordan was attached to direct a number of years ago

seems like a great time to get the other members of Derrick Comedy back together

I have purchased it, but it's still in my to-read pile.

Pretty in Pink is goddamn terrible, too. What a waste of Harry Dean Stanton

Eric Stoltz now has more directing than acting credits. My brother was a background on an episode of GLEE that he did and enjoyed meeting him.

McCarthy is fucking atrocious in both LESS THAN ZERO (crying at the end in particular…yeesh) and THE JOY LUCK CLUB (which is otherwise fantastic).

WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S director Ted Kotcheff just published his autobiography. I love many of his films, especially the Canadian classic THE APPRENTICESHIP OF DUDDY KRAVITZ, which features an all-time great performance by Richard Dreyfuss. WAKE IN FRIGHT has experienced a major rediscovery as well.

Fuck, I hate America
