Maybe he's not that concerned with the opinion of someone who hasn't hired him again in 45 years, but somehow I doubt Mike Flanagan, whose stuff he is in all the time, would be any more impressed!

Tonight at 9pm, Episode 3 of THE TERROR: DEVIL IN SILVER, the halfway point of our story and a very good Stephen Root episode. Somewhere I have video of him screaming in an ADR booth, but that’s just for me. He is a national treasure.

Tom Cruise has been famous for decades & has been interviewed a lot. I listened to a podcast several years ago where he was asked point blank to name a few faves, a couple of times, & he skirted around it the same way. I think it's more likely he (rightly) assumes people would dissect his answers.

He definitely knows movies, he has said before he watches everything and that I believe. It seems a highly cinephilic thing to me to cite Harold Lloyd as a reference for one's big action franchise movie.

Directors love a vintage format and as large a surface area as they can get. I don't think it's necessarily more complicated than that... Once one of them did it, others knew they could ask.

I could not begin to tell you what the rest of the movie is about (even though I own it on some international-region DVD I got in Chinatown) but sometimes I just look this up on YouTube to have a nice time.

It is such an absurdly media-trained answer...anything to avoid another couch-jumping incident, I suppose. Brad Bird has said that when he met with Cruise about GHOST PROTOCOL, the movie he talked at length about was SPEEDY.

Man. Sad remarks from a director of SCOOB! HOLIDAY HAUNT, the third completed movie WB cancelled for a tax break on a post about Pam Abdy and Michael De Luca's ouster, saying they were responsible along with Zaslav for shelving the movie and Abdy only called him after the news leaked on Twitter.

Hey let's not pour salt on the wounds, it's tough all over.

mkurinsky: absolutely not. i have struggled both financially and with my mental health since they cancelled my movie. They will leave with lucrative exit packages. I was let go from WB told that there was no longer a place for me there after 7 years. No exit package. They deserve a little salt.

mkurinsky: she, Michael Deluca and David Zaslav were the ones directly responsible for the decision to shelve Batgirl and SCOOB Holiday Haunt. They WERE Warners pictures at that point and that was one of their very first decisions in their new positions after Discovery bought WB. And I wasn't told to my face. I found out on TWITTER first. Then by phone call. All I said was "it hurts, doesn't it" .... Because it does.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

A small correction, the budget was apparently closer to $150K, as the film did major reshoots in the years following its initial shoot. A long road (so to speak) to its eventual completion!

And media making it official policy to treat those attacks as fair game that they would not take seriously, report on, or treat as harmful — even when leveled at their own reporters. Now the White House points GamerGate at its targets daily, through the owners of the social platforms themselves.

This is why more women don't come forward, and why more rapists aren't jailed. Because mostly-male cops and prosecutors find it more believable that a 20-yr-old would want to have sex with a room full of fraternity brothers than accept she was raped. What ever happened to common fucking sense?

The main reason you haven’t heard about campus sexual violence in a few years is because Trump and SCOTUS have made it much, much harder for survivors to come forward. You might vaguely remember that Title IX was a big battleground in his first term. And that we lost.

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

It's a fun way to take a chance on something more under the radar... I've seen some films I really dug in past years (and some I'd like to fight about).
