“A whole festival of movies in one movie” is how @thenyff described today’s screening of the 4K restoration of “SHOLAY” the three and a half hour classic Hindi musical western extravaganza from 1975.

Excited for the NYFF presentation tonight - a new restoration of Erich von Stroheim’s “Queen Kelly” - best known today as the silent film Gloria Swanson screens for William Holden in “Sunset Blvd.” And she’s right - they did have faces then.

I love newspaper letterpress printing blocks for old movie ads. Here’s one I got recently for a full page in Variety announcing the boffo grosses on “Billy Jack”

Stumbled upon a 35mm film can labeled: “Deliverance” dailies - Reel 1. I got excited but, alas, it was nothing. No secret John Boorman stash of white water outtakes. I was hoping for at least a few Burt Reynolds bloopers.

I’m supposed to… made up to be Dreyfus in Jaws

Yes, I did play Richard Dreyfus in a parody that took on both JAWS and Brian De Palma’s THE FURY. The shark in this movie had telekinetic powers!! I think there were some GOODBYE GIRL jokes in there too (“I don’t like the panties on the boat.”)

New HD remaster of a film I helped make back in 1986 - Nicole Bettauer’s powerful documentary short about two homeless men reacting to the death of a friend on the streets of downtown Los Angeles. I’m posting a taste - but here is the whole thing: youtu.be/ocIyGUAFQ_8

Believe it or not - I actually got in a fight with a rattlesnake. It was a crazy bloody affair involving two cars and an axe 🪓 (you don't get to see those terrifying photos). But fortunately - I won the battle and got the rattle. 🐍
