“You can learn more from John Sturges’s audio track on the BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK laserdisc than you can in 20 years of film school” - Paul Thomas Anderson
Watch Sturges’s taut 1955 western noir alongside his legendary commentary on @criterionchannl! https://t.co/YGdTBg5s0W
The art of Italian movie posters: a thread. 🧵
For decades, until the 1990s and in some cases beyond, Italy produced the most flamboyantly vibrant film posters of any country, with the possible exception of India. Many of these posters were more artful and enduring than the films they promoted.
Rest in peace, Sly…🖤
Today, the legendary Sly Stone from Sly and the Family Stone, has passed away at age 82…
In honor of his legacy here’s an incredible clip of Sly and the Family Stone performing “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)”
Royal Warriors is top tier 80s gritty HK action. Excellent performances by Michelle Yeoh and Hiroyuki Sanada along with hard hitting choreography, brutal stunt work and enough breakable glass to make JC jealous. Action cinema nirvana!!
I love Jackie’s action design but there is something special when he’s under Sammo Hung’s direction. There’s a meaner edge to JC along with Sammo’s fast paced blocking and trapping highlighted by impactful kicks and glorious power powder!!
