It will never cease to amaze and delight me that in 1971, Vincent Price came to Hamilton, Ontario for 3 days and shot 130 episodes worth of host material for the low-budget kids show Hilarious House of Frightenstein and played it like it was the Mercury Theater. Total pro.

Fun news: My weirdo making of doc THE ASHGROVE EXPERIMENT is now finally available to rent or buy in the United States on Amazon Prime Video!

"A unique and loony experiment. I loved how it captured the spirit of low budget filmmaking.” - Atom Egoyan

“behavior”

[John Frankensteiner @JFrankensteiner]

Absolute poetry watching all the psychos who have spent the last few years boasting about all of our jobs becoming obsolete are now freaking out that their jobs are becoming obsolete

[Christopher Smets @CWSmets]

They announced this 2nd screening today and I grabbed the hell out of that ticket.

The shot The set-up

[Christopher Smets @CWSmets]

I recently saw Heavenly Bodies in a theatre, which was shot in Toronto in 1983 for zero dollars in like 18 days or something and it looked incredible.

[becks 🎥 @NomiMalones]

It honestly makes me angry that films nowadays will have huge 200 million dollar plus budgets, and you could literally pick any random movie from 1970-1999, and it would guaranteed look one million times better.

[David Simon @AoDespair]

You racist mutt. Ed Burns, the co-creator of the television narrative, was the lead investigator on the Title III cases that encountered all of the counter-surveillance and organizational depth inherent in the Baltimore drug game. We used the real.

[Christopher Smets @CWSmets]

Sounds bad!

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

Pierre Poilievre has been in politics for 20 years, he's written 0 legislation; has one of the highest pensions in government. He's voted against the environment & climate nearly 400 times, derailed legislation to benefit workers, and voted against affordable housing initiatives.

[Christopher Smets @CWSmets]

@BrndnStrssng Very funny moment on The Big Picture when he says that if he ever made a sci-fi movie he'd be competing with 2001 & Solaris, and Fennessey replies "Holding yourself to the standard of Kubrick & Tarkovsky is fun, that sounds like a nice way to live," and Corbet totally cracks up.

STYLIST: What do you wanna do for the Golden Globes?

JEREMY STRONG: I’m thinking Hunter S. Thompson in the Beastie Boys.

JEREMY STRONG: Paddington’s cousin who sells coke.

STYLIST: Okay.

JEREMY STRONG: Stanley Tucci playing Gilligan.

STYLIST: Right.

And Michael Clayton, who did NOT die,

[Lauren Wilford @lauren_wilford]

thinking once again about the graphics department on The Royal Tenenbaums. legends

[Christopher Smets @CWSmets]

@bathtub_book_ And you haven't even mentioned the way Martin Landau looks at James Mason.

[Christopher Smets @CWSmets]

Wait, so how did this guy catch Chigurh in the first place?

[Christopher Smets @CWSmets]

@CoreyAtad I agree. I've fallen for him hard the last couple years.

[Christopher Smets @CWSmets]

@caitiedelaney I cannot tell you how annoying I was to everyone I knew when this played its one-week Oscar qualifying run in NYC.

[Christopher Smets @CWSmets]

@CoreyAtad I rarely hear him mention Curtiz, and he's the one guy that, when I watch The Sea Wolf or The Breaking Point, I think had an all-in-one-shot style that's most similar to what Spielberg does.

[Christopher Smets @CWSmets]

@garbo__talks Truly. And it's fascinating how many connections there are between the Dawson gold rush and where we are now.
