RIP Kris Kristofferson. I was always confused because I have a cousin named Chris Christofferson—were they the same guy? young me wondered—but I eventually figured out who was who. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Y5m...

What a time to be alive: not one but two 35mm prints of Martin Lawrence's 1994 standup film YOU SO CRAZY on eBay at the same time. Thomas Schlamme hive, get on this.

I’d describe it more like the “Swiss Army Knife of database software” rather than “Cadillac,” but either way, I didn’t realize how much the description of a character—played by Tilda Swinton, no less!— who loves FileMaker Pro would make me want to see a movie, in this case PROBLEMISTA.

Willie Ruff was one of my favorite people in the world, an incredible musician, educator, historian, filmmaker, and storyteller. I’m so proud to have preserved some of his films, and will miss our frequent visits and conversations. It never got old to hear him say, “Brian, I’m so glad you got born.”

I would saying “pouring one out for my brother on his birthday,” but this was his favorite beer, and he had aged this particular bottle in his cellar since 2015, so I will be pouring it into a glass and drinking a toast to him while watching an episode of “Magnum, p.i.,” a perfect way to remember.

Dream come true, we've joined the ranks of eBay film choppers. Someone's selling this giveaway I made (from a junk reel, BTW), which "...appears to have been cut by hand by the staff of the Yale Film Archive." Please nobody pay anything, much less $70, for this.

The famous architecture firm of McKim, “Meade” & White. This is the hard-hitting typo-spotting I’ve been lacking an outlet for.

Before the internet, I thought Commander Mark might have been a figment of my childhood imagination, but now there's a documentary out about the man who taught me how to draw a foreshortened square, a key life skill.

Thanks to SKYJACKED (1972) for answering the age-old question "Did John Hillerman ever work with John Guillermin?" and for featuring Anchorage as an integral part of the hijacker's demands.

I’ve lived with this piece of paper, held by filmmaker Sedat Pakay in front of James Baldwin as Baldwin takes a drink before the interview begins, for so many years, it’s utterly startling to come upon the actual thing itself. In a box with another somewhat unrelated item, of course.
