Lance Oppenheim is getting tons of attention lately, and it’s well-deserved. But even before he was working with Nathan Fielder, his filmmaking & interviews have been phenomenal.
10 years ago today, high school me emailed him seeking videography advice. Here are his responses:
Conservatively, I would say that 90% of Hollywood movies that I've seen with Muslim characters have depicted them as scary terrorists which is not a good thing...Shapiro is a 🤡.
The threat of radical Islam is real. Hollywood has refused to tell that story for three decades. Now, we’re saying the thing with the biggest, most audacious, funniest and most kickass film Daily Wire has ever released. Here’s the trailer.
Evening viewing recommendation? On the Criterion Channel, watch Martin Scorsese's CAPE FEAR (1991) in our Southern Gothic collection! ❤️🔥 https://t.co/olnGhLz9Xj
Scorsese fuses his bravura stylistic command and personal themes of sin and guilt with the pulp-pleasure mechanics of genre filmmaking for this brutally effective thriller, a morally unsettling, grippingly virtuosic remake of the 1962 Robert Mitchum–Gregory Peck (also streaming on the Channel)!
What if I told you you can enjoy low-budget quirky indies and ALSO super gory and vicious horror films and ALSO grand auteur-guided epics and ALSO low brow comedies and ALSO big budget superhero crossovers? And you didn't have to pick a side and just be open to any kind of movie?
