On the original 'The Gambler,' released on this day in 1974: buff.ly/UsIyXYY

Classic Corner: The Gambler — Crooked Marquee
The 1974 drama offers an uncommonly insightful (and often unforgiving) peek into the mind of the compulsive gambler.

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 casual Star Wars alien fella at the cantina, in a sun faded, reddish photo. Someone will be mad at me for not knowing who this is. Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.an isolated shot of a star wars vehicle. Sorry, I don't know star wars lol

ATLANTA still about as good as TV gets. BRIAN TYREE HENRY’s Paper Boi one of the great characters. “Woods” just blew me away and it might not even be the high point of season two.

'Three Days of the Condor' hit theaters on this day in 1975. It was one of the all-time great conspiracy thrillers: buff.ly/HThdFHX

Sydney Pollack's Watergate-era spy picture is a series of fascinating contradictions and none-too-subtle historical references.
