The commitment with which @JCMoonves delivered the line "I'm being told there's something happening inside the house." Where's the Emmy?! Stanislavski could NEVER. #BB26
This is just a reminder to the @CBSBigBrother producers that Jankie's theme song is eligible for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics. #BB26
I just need to see the expression on Glenn Close's agent's face after he gave her the script for #TheDeliverance as a joke and she called back saying "Yes, absolutely."
The print news industry must've been absolutely booming in New Rochelle, NY, in 2019 for that many newspapers to be blowing around during that storm.
#challengers
#CIFF48 film 10: North American premiere of Jeremy Borison's "Unspoken." This film, in the vein of recent Netflix series "Heartstopper," has potential as a YA sale to a streamer. @ciff
#CIFF48 film 9: Doc "Sugarcane," codirected by @emilykassie and @jnoisecat, follows survivors of Canadian Indian residential schools. The intersection of colonialism and physical/sexual abuse has rarely been captured as well as it has been here. A truly harrowing watch. @ciff
#CIFF48 film 8: "The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed," writer/director @arnowjo's deadpan hellscape of millennial surrender. She's like Lena Dunham crossed with a mid-30s Daria Morgendorffer, and I loved every second of this film. @ciff
#CIFF48 film 7: Anik Jean's "My Mother's Men," about a woman who must visit her deceased mother's five ex-husbands. Trรจs romcom-y, but I could definitely see it being remade as an American film with five great middle-aged character actors (Paul Giamatti, call your agent). @ciff
#CIFF48 film 6: Robert Kolodny's "The Featherweight," a biopic of Italian-American boxer Willie Pep. Mockumentary staging helps it avoid boxing film clichรฉs. Movie's soul is James Madio's heartfelt performance, emulating Pesci, not De Niro. (Also, fantastic meatball scene.) @ciff
#CIFF48 film 5 was "Femme," from co-writers/directors Sam H. Freeman and Ng Choon Ping, starring "1917"'s George MacKay. If Paul Verhoeven and Kenneth Anger had ever collaborated, it might have looked something like this revenge noir. @ciff
#CIFF48 film 4: Marie Amachoukeli-Barsacq's "รma Gloria" features an unforgettable performance by six-year-old Louise Mauroy-Panzani as a French child visiting Cape Verde. In a beautiful touch, impressionistic interstitial animation sequences represent formative memories.
