Pauline Kael was once asked what was her favorite film: “In my entire life? Well there’s a French movie you’ve probably never heard of that I like best - “Menilmontant” a silent film made in 1924 by Dmitri Kirsanov starring his beautiful wife.” What better way to celebrate National Silent Movie Day?

The HORROR exhibit the Academy Museum is absolutely insane. Psycho mom! Bela Lugosi’s cape! Aunt Gladys! The baby from “It’s Alive!” Hannibal Lecter! Dr. Caligari! Patrick Bateman! The Phantom of the Paradise! Storyboards, posters… so much scary stuff. It opened today - RUN!

Dread Central got very excited today when they heard Scott & I had pitched a combo PROBLEM CHILD/CHILD’S PLAY movie way back in the 1990s. It was to be in the horror/comedy mashup spirit of “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein” but no one bit. www.dreadcentral.com/news/587844/...

We are often asked what’s the difference between our original script’s version of “Problem Child” and the finished film. Here’s a fine example. The movie ends with a close up of a pig’s ass taking a loud shit on Amy Yasbeck in the back of a pick up truck. And in contrast, here is our first draft…

Nobody knows the art of filmmaking and comedy better than Mel Brooks. To have him select both “Ed Wood” and “Dolemite is my Name” as two of his favorite films of all time is an honor my brain can’t quite comprehend. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

In 1961 they made a pilot for a SOME LIKE IT HOT tv series that opens with Jack Lemon & Tony Curtis running to a plastic surgeon so they can alter their faces to hide from the mob. When they take the bandages off they turn into Vic Damone & Dick Patterson! Tina Louise plays the Marilyn Monroe part!
