I had no idea that William Stout (whose work I love) was one of the creature designers of the Predator! 😮

For Martin Scorsese's b'day, I donated to his Film Foundation, which has restored 1100+ films.

You can even pick a project to support.

Scorsese said restoration is "more important" to his legacy than filmmaking, especially in its potential to inspire young people.

Top 5 movie genres:

- Pyjama Noirs (French crime films with J. Gabin in Pyjamas)
- No monster 75‘s (75 minute long b&w horror films without a monster)
- Wet asphalt films (Crime films with wet asphalt at night)
- EC Noir (Film Noir with Elisha Cook Jr.)
- Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean…
What are your top 5 movie genres? Mine are:

Existential Soviet Cinema
French hipsters play at acting and movies
Screwball cynicism meets Capraesque heart
British flamboyance and theatrics that are resolutely antithetical to the British moral majority
Arnie being Arnie
- Films from 1932 in which three chorus girl gold diggers who share a flat try to survive the Depression
- Craggy former gunslinger bleakly confronts his life’s work
- Miscarriage of justice documentary
- Half-arsed ‘80s buddy comedy
- Holly Hunter whispering

“What I was trying to get at in Ran, and this was there from the script stage, was that the gods or God or whoever it is observing human events is feeling sadness about how human beings destroy each other, and powerlessness to affect human beings' behavior.“

65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.
