'The Beast of Within: Making Alien'. 2003 (Charles de Lauzirika)

As extensive and in-depth as making of documentaries go. Alexandre O. Philippe's later documentary is a serviceable starting place for the beginner...

A semi-scripted, semi-improvised movie in which David Lynch interviews the actors who played the Palmer family in Twin Peaks and then they perform a seance which channels the characters to speak for themselves, the Charles de Lauzirika-directed Between Two Worlds is a wild exercise in anti-auteur.

Incredibly jealous. And I always thought that WLP should’ve been a much bigger star.

Did a deep dive on my favorite movie with The Daily Jaws recently, and had a surprise appearance by a member of the original cast. This is what happens…

IMO, in this unusual case, “Director’s Cut” should always be in quotes.

Honk at the Tara Theatre! Thank you Reel Friends for screening Honk at @taraatlanta.bsky.social. I first saw Honk at the Buried Alive Film Festival in November last year. It was great seeing the film again and it was exciting to speak with @lauzirika.bsky.social at the mixer after the screenings!

This is simply magnificent. Send this brilliantly, emotionally edited Saga spanning piece to all TV Academy and Golden Globe members. (Spoilers for those not caught up on ANDOR.) Bravo, @swft-youtube.bsky.social! youtu.be/wMRxxm7OWWE

I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale.

Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.

50 years ago today, my favorite kømedifilm of all-time opened (in the United Kingdom) ((in general release)) (((after a few other places.))) MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL takes absurdity to epic levels. And still so relevant!

I was 12, waiting in line for a pre-dawn showing at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. It was screening 24/7 at that point, and my dad took me early so I could get back to school in time.

45 years later, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK is still basically tied with A NEW HOPE as my favorite star war. (Though it *has* gotten a little more crowded at the top lately.)

Andor is over and it stands as not just Star Wars greatest story but one of the best TV shows ever. And we still can't believe it actually happened.

Almost two years ago, I got to meet the co-writer of the last two MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE movies, the great Erik Jendresen…and, like a total gentleman, he didn’t even mind that I wore my “Written by Tony Gilroy” shirt to the gathering. Bring on the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE finale. Bring on the ANDOR finale.
