Films Forgotten or Overlooked... DIVA (1981) - Cinéma du look starts here: Beineix shot opera bootlegs, Parisian lofts, and a moped chase through the Métro like a perfume ad with a body count. Style as substance, and everyone from Besson to Refn took the note. #filmsky #moviesky #cinema

Films Forgotten/Overlooked... VAST OF NIGHT (2019) Andrew Patterson had no money for effects, so he built the entire film out of a single terrifying tracking shot. #filmsky #moviesky

Films Forgotten/Overlooked... THE DEVILS (1971) Warner Bros buried this so thoroughly that the deleted 'Rape of Christ' scene remained missing for decades. Ken Russell built 17th-century Loudun as stark white tile, made Oliver Reed a martyr, & the studio only recently authorized a full restoration.

Films Forgotten/Overlooked... BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW (2010) Panos Cosmatos built this around a memory he wasn't sure was real: a half-glimpsed VHS from childhood he couldn't place. The result isn't homage to '80s sci-fi horror. It's a fabricated artifact from a timeline that never happened. #film

Alright, what's your #comicsdna? The comics and books that were formative to you. At least four, more if you're nasty. (Thank you @alexsegura.bsky.social for this awesome prompt!)

LOST HIGHWAY was my first foray into David Lynch. His work and his personal ethos were startling and unique, top to bottom. An artist’s artist for the ages.

LA Mayor’s office did NOT cut the budget for LAFD. But the state continues to fail with land management and cutting back overgrowth with controlled burns. Climate disasters will continue to savagely ravage dense population centers. And we can limit the devastation BUT big biz refuses to help

One of my favorite movies about “the movies” is Vicente Minelli’s The Bad and The Beautiful. Lana Turner burned BRIGHT. Kirk Douglas, as Jonahthan Shields, was diabolical, devastating, and charming.

It was such an insane blur, but… sometimes I forget I wrote on #StarTrek with an insanely wonderful group of writers.
