As James Gray’s Paper Tiger is currently in premiere at Cannes, here’s a throwback to this legendary clip. It permanently changed my perspective on the movie industry.
#Cannes jury president Park Chan-wook says "I don’t think politics and art should be divided."
" I think it’s a strange concept to think that they’re in conflict with each other. Just because a work of art has a political statement, it should not be considered an enemy of art. At the same time, just because a film is not making a political statement, that film should not be ignored. Even if we are to make a brilliant political statement, if it’s not expressed artfully enough, it would just be propaganda. So what I want to say is that art and politics are not concepts that are in conflict with each other, as long as they are artistically expressed, they are valuable."
It’s officially been 20 years since Doug Mirabelli’s police escort to Fenway Park after being traded back to the Red Sox.
His plane landed just 12 minutes before first pitch and then he went and caught 7 strong innings from Tim Wakefield.
