August has no holidays to speak of - so I put one on my calendar to celebrate the release of one of the funniest movies ever made. Happy Bowfinger Day and a hearty “Gotcha Suckas!” to all who celebrate. 🫡

THE PRISONER ♟️Coming to the Criterion Channel in July!

The Prisoner

Long before Twin Peaks beamed prime-time surrealism into the American living room, there was The Prisoner, the 1960s British cult sensation that pushed television into new realms of unsettling, Kafkaesque mystery across seventeen hypnotic, thrilling episodes. With its prescient exploration of free will in the age of surveillance, this pop-culture touchstone remains one of the most discussed and endlessly analyzed series in television history.

In light of recent news, it’s time to revisit a classic defense of foreign film and diversity writ large. “When the world is fragmenting into groups of intolerance, ignorance and hatred, film is a powerful tool to knowledge and understanding.” www.nytimes.com/1993/11/25/o...

Scorsese letter to the Editor New York Times):
(Abridged first paragraph):
It reminds me of a beer commercial that ran a while back. The commercial opened with a black and white parody of a foreign film-obviously a combination of Fellini and Bergman.
Two young men are watching it, puzzled, in a video store, while a female companion seems more interested. A title comes up: "Why do foreign films have to be so foreign?" The solution is to ignore the foreign film and rent an action-adventure tape, filled with explosions, much to the chagrin of the woman.
It seems the commercial equates "negative" associations between women and foreign films: weakness, complexity, tedium. I like action-adventure films too. I also like movies that tell a story, but is the American way the only way of telling stories?
The issue here is not "film theory," but cultural diversity and openness. Diversity guarantees our cultural survival. When the world is fragmenting into groups of intolerance, ignorance and hatred, film is a powerful tool to knowledge and understanding. To our shame, your article was cited at length by the European press.
The attitude that I've been describing celebrates ignorance. It also unfortunately confirms the worst fears of European filmmakers. Is this closed-mindedness something we want to pass along to future generations?
If you accept the answer in the commercial, why not take it to its natural progression:
Why don't they make movies like ours?
Why don't they tell stories as we do?
Why don't they dress as we do?
Why don't they eat as we do?
Why don't they talk as we do?
Why don't they think as we do?
Why don't they worship as we do?
Why don't they look like us?
Ultimately, who will decide who "we" are?
-Martin Scorsese

I guess in retrospect we were all slightly wrong on this classic cartoon, so here’s an update for 2025.

I feel like when this is all over we also need to implement a mechanism to allow us to recall our elected federal officials. Imagine how different things might be now if NY or PAers could simply *threaten* to boot Schumer or Fetterman from office.

FDR once bragged to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that the richest people in the nation hated him and “I welcome their hatred.” Just weeks later, he was re-elected with 61% of the vote in a 523-8 blowout in the Electoral College. Voters *like* politicians who make the right enemies.

When a major company references this track as part of a promotion it’s done culturally, right?

Remember the right-wing plot to sabotage Jimmy Carter’s re-election by urging Iran to hold American hostages longer? You don’t? It’s a shocking example of the American right’s treachery that more people should know about. (Gift link to 2023 NYT story.)
