I prefer the old masters, by which I mean Orson Welles, Orson Welles, and Orson Welles 🎞 🎥

RIP Andy Rourke. There is a light that never goes out 🎸

[Johnny Marr @Johnny_Marr]

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Andy Rourke after a lengthy illness with pancreatic cancer.
Andy will be remembered as a kind and beautiful soul by those who knew him and as a supremely gifted musician by music fans. 
We request privacy at this sad time

This article, on the dire state of projection in many of America’s movie theater chains, needed to be written, and I’m so glad Lane Brown was the one to do it. https://t.co/qhPyQQY3VH

@TinseltownTwins I recently watched all of her Marple films and Passport to Pimlico - she had an absolutely magnetic presence on screen. Also love the fact she insisted her husband (Stringer Davis) be given a supporting role in all the Marples!

@kermodeandmayo - War Horse. I found it so bland that I can hardly remember seeing it. I can't even recall if it's about sharks or not.

[Diarmuid XCI @DiarmuidXCI]

@kermodeandmayo + Into the West! A classic Irish film directed by Mike Newell. One iconic scene involves the young protagonists taking their horse to the cinema(!) which is beautifully remembered in this mural at the old cinema in Portarlington, Co Laois, where the scene was filmed!

Happy 160th birthday to the man who brought us to the moon. Illusionist and French filmmaker Georges Méliès was born #onthisday in 1861. Méliès set the precedent for filmmaking in 1902, producing one of the most influential films of the silent movie era A Trip To The Moon.

I’ve never publicly acknowledged my health struggles before. The most acute period of my battle with lupus was in high school and I’ve tried very hard to put that time behind me. But after what happened at the Oscars, I had to speak up. https://t.co/VzxDJtMvL3
