I love every time @pattonoswalt.bsky.social pops up on @trailersfromhell.bsky.social — I still have PALE FLOWER on the watchlist! — and I love seeing him give the spotlight to THE LAST STOP IN YUMA COUNTY. A must-see pulp twister and a fave from the last few years.

Great actor, great presence, and according to friends who worked with him, a great guy.
Always a welcome presence in movies. My recommendation is to see him as the villainous cop in DOBERMANN, a movie I discovered thanks to @josholson.bsky.social & @trailersfromhell.bsky.social.
RIP Tchéky Karyo

FRANKENSTEIN is on NETFLIX but- still in many theatres- please consult your local listings and choose your watch/rewatch preference!
Where do I even begin? Guillermo del Toro @realgdt.bsky.social has created an absolute masterpiece. I only wish I’d had the chance to experience it on the big screen. The story of Frankenstein has been told countless times, but never like this.

I’m just saying, I directed a movie for basically no money that debuted in the 90s on rotten tomatoes and got distribution with no stars attached, I did not get a single call and couldn’t even find a rep as a director. This was not the case for any of the male directors I went to AFI with.
She's absolutely right. As a producer with several films in development with female directors, I can say it is an absolute uphill battle to get execs to fund their projects. Great scripts are sitting on shelves while a generation of our most talented women sit idle.
