Watching Carpenter’s THE THING. Struzan got me all nostalgic.

good Catholics marrying within the faith!
(probably a big Polish-Irish and Polish-Italian element also).

likewise Abel Ferrara, half Irish! (and looks-wise 80%)

Can all those popular filmmakers with their giant megaphones who went after motion smoothing on TV please go after laptops and phones in screenings too? Surely there's a lot of cinematographers who will have something to say about this.

LFF allowing laptops and phones for note taking in the press screenings is end of the world stuff. What happened to pen and paper, or just watching it and concentrating?

Red Eye or The Hills Have Eyes. Something with "eye" in the title anyway.

the British TV watershed is hilarious. Careful avoidance of anything too "hard" until 9pm.... then BLAM! anything goes.

"The original cut of Annie Hall ran nearly two-and-a-half hours, and according to its editor Ralph Rosenblum was a shapeless mass of bits. "And so we began cutting in the direction of that relationship,” he wrote. Result: 4 Oscars. www.vulture.com/article/the-...

The Unfading Beauty of Diane Keaton

For over five decades, cinema bent itself around her profoundly original image. It had no choice.

Pimple's THE WHIP is one of the greatest horse-racing films ever made. Certainly the weirdest and (still) funniest.

possibly no more "Saturday night" way to start a Saturday night than by seeing ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK from a slightly beaten-up 35mm print at a sold-out screening, surrounded a receptive crowd, slap bang in the middle of a big city.
(i.e. 6pm yesterday at @filmmuseum.bsky.social, Vienna.)

"As of July 2024, the Co-operative Party was the fourth-largest party in the House of Commons, with 43 Members of Parliament. As all of its MPs sit with the Parliamentary Labour Party, this distinction is seldom made."

Personal news: I’m now Chair of Luton & Beds branch of the Co-operative Party.

Given how invisible the Party, and Co-ops in general, are, it’s going to be interesting to see if we can generate more engagement? Our Beds PCC, John Tizard, is a member. But not our 5 Beds Labour MPs.

I think what's impressive about TRON is that, visually, it's still so much more interesting than any of it's sequels. It's crazy that they tried update this digital world by making it as 'realistically rendered' as possible. It's a complete misunderstanding of the original's charm.

my response when discovering in 2020 that famed actress Gong Li (family-name Gong, first-name Li) had wed Jean-Michel Jarre:
"Marry in haste, repent as Li Jarre."
