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?

Don't make me tap the Robert Pattinson quote, Leto.

“I always say about people who do method acting, you only ever see people do the method when they’re playing an assholes,” Pattinson said in an interiew with Variety in November. “You never see someone being lovely to everyone while they’re really deep in character.”

A wizened old little butler type (not real) with white hair, bald on top, offers small items (chocolates?) on a silver tray at the entrance to a delicatessen. A woman in a long striped cardigan stands nearby with her hand over her face.

Oct 12th 802701 - George Wells' time machine finally stops travelling forward. After saving Weena, and meeting the Eloi, he discovers the underground race known as Morlocks.

📽️📅 The Time Machine (1960)

3 Screenshots from the movie "The Time Machine" (1960): First, a close-up of the time machine's control panel with colorful dials and ornate detailing, indicating a time of October 12. Second, a scene with a man and a woman sitting on steps, engaged in a serious conversation with the subtitle "Twenty of your friends were watching you drown." Third, a group of Morlocks, creatures with pale skin and white hair, standing in a cave-like environment, exuding a menacing presence.

I am once again begging filmmakers to start lighting their night scenes again. Moonlight and starlight are both available, as are torches, campfires, and any number of plausible light sources! What I'm watching right now may as well be a podcast

One of the signature actresses of her or any era, and a woman who paved a path most Hollywood actresses -haven't- followed: dressing to express joy and a sense of self. On Diane Keaton: time.com/7325208/dian...

The Astonishing Versatility of Diane Keaton

Keaton, who died at 79, is often remembered for her comedic performance in Annie Hall, but she did so much more throughout her career.

It's cool how when you try to search for the solution to a computer problem now you can pick from an AI summary, several out-of-date videos by a guy with a shitty mic, or some forum posts on the publisher's site dealing with an obsolete version of the software

RIP to the great Diane Keaton. If you can find it, her book on Clown Paintings - for which she curated a large selection of flea market amateur clown portraits -mostly fantastically creepy - accompanied by the thoughts of famous people regarding clowns - is well worth a look.

I always loved this picture.

the Annie Liebovitz Vanity Fair fashion shoot 'Hollywood 2016', with a load of A list actresses dressed in black sitting or lying draped around, looking moody, not smiling, a lot of skin on show, primped and sultry. Diane Keaton stands on the right at the back, grinning straight into the camera, also wearing black but in a long sleeved black coat, high neck and black wide brimmed hat. They were her own clothes. She looks like she was enjoying herself enormously.

Rest in peace to the great Diane Keaton, fearless and unique, a dream actress indeed. 📷 Norman Seeff, Los Angeles, 1975

Black and white shot of Diane Keaton in a tank top with her hands behind her head. I like this photo for its simplicity; you can feel her personality.

That is a modest and slightly inferior stick

When it comes to unsolicited stick pics bigger is better!
