They set a slamhound on Turner's trail in New Delhi, slotted it to his pheromones and the color of his hair.
I bumped into Katie Rich and Matt Patches (or was it Dave G.?) in the concession line on that final night. Every NYC film podcaster must have been in the building. I only recognized them thanks to their voices. I went to the Ziegfeld often and that was one of the few nights I ever saw it full.

Sleuth (1972), probably the one I've rewatched the most. Two Best Actor nominations (not actor/supporting) for Olivier and Caine.

I associate this movie so strongly with Filmspotting. Pretty sure I saw it just before I started listening to the podcast (and around the time of Brick's release), but their early interviews with Johnson and the Golden Brick awards made me the Brothers Bloom fan I am today.

It's so hard to make a movie of surpassing gentleness. Harder than making a good comedy, much harder than making a good drama. So when someone makes one like Trevino, you've just got to marvel at the people involved.

Stuff like this and Bill McKibben's book do so much to drag my mood from its usual depths.

When this topic comes around, I always think, "Build more IMAX screens." Not necessarily for IMAX movies; just make the screen big and project the movie big. Pummel people with the sound. Take advantage of the fact that a small room in your home doesn't measure up.

This while V:tM's key source material - Interview With A Vampire - is low-key surging with a new TV adaptation. White Wolf really fumbling the timing here.
Maybe they're waiting an a Forever Knight reboot.

GM: Whoa, not so fast, Batman. It's a 20-point Code Vs. Killing Disadvantage. Have you got the XP to get rid of it? No? I didn't think so. That's right, you've got Bat-Spray on that belt.

Schools will never improve as long as rich kids don't have to use them. Make the rich use the same services the rest of us use and they'll get better.

When push comes to shove, it's "Nightengales" for me. It has a little poetry and a little swagger in just the right rhythm.
