I love how THE BEAST is the background to one of the tiles on the front page of the @criterionchannl.bsky.social. Probably because it’s MAGNIFICENT.

Just did this and yup, it was turned on for me. Now it's off.

I absolutely adore how much Francesca loves her papa. This is the most wholesome relationship in film that I’m aware of, and I adore that I gain regular glimpses into their fun.
Martin Scorsese and his daughter Francesca read Letterboxd reviews and guessed which Scorsese movie they were about.

RIP Adam Greenberg
He was the superb cinematographer who shot Near Dark (watch it!), Terminator 2: Judgment Day and, of course, The Terminator, which means he’s responsible for one of my favourite shots in cinema that also coined a new genre for its film:
