The very fact he even understands the concept of having more than he needs distinguishes him from Kaiser Orange, who appears to be the living human manifestation of the concept of greed itself. Always more to no purpose except getting more.

(that movie is built very carefully around actors portraying lying silences and, very sparingly, violent bursts of rage caused by those silences)

One of my favorite things she does in the Godfather part 2 is make it clear to the audience how terrified she actually is of Michael with the face over his shoulder when they're dancing.

The thing is, when he eventually passes away it'll be just like Rush Limbaugh, which is to say he will be forgotten almost instantly. He'll have made no impact whatsoever except in hurting the families of little children

From a young age, Diane Keaton, who died Saturday at 79, seemed to understand that actual beauty, the timeless kind, required a degree of depth, even darkness, @adriennelaf.bsky.social.bsky.social writes.

Diane Keaton's Face Told The Story | Defector

Actresses are often tasked with doing a lot with just a little. There is no way around the fact that most movies are written by men, for men, about men, and as a result women usually figure into them…

They often defend Griffith's place of respect by claiming some important firsts for him: First film shot in California, first closeup, first editing for suspense (cross-cutting)

Yeah, he did none of these things and I have the receipts.

The first of two times he ripped MAD up in front of me. The second was because there was a head shop parody, again prompting me to ask questions. That was when he banned me from reading it.
So I was sure to never let him know I was.
