People who just enjoy movies...do not know or understand what movies do to those who have the misfortune to fall in love with this mass medium—a medium which seems to almost inevitably break the hearts of those who really care about it. (1995)

The more you care, the more it destroys you; the more you refuse to compromise, to betray your love, the less you can do. (1995)

And what could be more noble than using one character flaw to offset the bad effects of another?

David Bordwell & Kristin Thompson make a selection of film analysis books available for free, including 'On the History of Film Style', 'Ozu and the Poetics of Cinema' and more — https://t.co/2SAePYmAfW

Recently watched Nashville by Altman and I find this true

[pauline kael bot @paulinekaelbot]

Altman's most distinctive quality as a director is his gift for creating an atmosphere of living interrelationships and doing it so obliquely that the viewer can't quite believe it—it seems almost a form of effrontery. (1971)

In #Dune by F. Hebert, the Harkonnens would drug the slave-gladiator before they fight of the Baron's heir, the drug was instilling terror in the slave's mind and it was enough... Because "Fear is the mind-killer".

Arrive. Be. Don't improve.

By the way, he was 26 y.o when he directed Citizen Kane. Coppola was 29 y.o when he directed Godfather... And Paul Thomas Anderson was 26 for Boggie nights :) (ok this is a stretch of an enumeration)

I did not know much about Orson Welles, but his spirit and "esprit" as we say in French are quite formidable! Will learn a lot more !

don't trust the title - this documentary shows the depth of references in Tarantino's movie insane https://t.co/SMrAVqtnYb

[Paroles de Combattants de la Libération @paroles_la]

On le voit souvent à vélo entre St-Laurent et Colleville. Rien d'anormal pour un facteur... Sauf que Désiré Lemière, 56 ans, observe en fait le mur de l'Atlantique. Le succès du débarquement lui devra beaucoup. Mais il n'en saura rien : il est abattu en prison le 6 juin 1944.

"Russia's median wealth is $871 (India's is +$1,000)
110 Russians own 34% of Russia's wealth
Putin's wealth is est. at $40B
Corruption = "Pay to play" system, pay to get your seat in the Duma then you can charge businessmen for line items in the budget"

@DancesLikeSnake Yet, it did not feel different enought to me, what I think would be different is probably impossible to make under WB studio. Take The Joker, that was different (and generated +1B)

[Nathan Hirsch @nathanhrsch]

Gotham is the natural place for techno, I liked that about #TheBatman the score is one of the best of all the "franchise".

Curious to understand more what motivated Matt Reeves to revisit it? It was different, but was it different enough?

[Nathan Hirsch @nathanhrsch]

@DancesLikeSnake I understand the attemps : a grounded gotham, an early days batman, a super detective plot. I liked the cinematography, especially the first 30min (Gotham at halloween was great), I liked the Batmobile chase that makes chasing in traffic realistic and therefor relatable.
