A few disconnected thoughts on this movie, which, yes, everyone should watch. • Something I find striking is that Mark actually has talent. Yes, his ambition exceeds his resources, but some of his images are awfully striking. • A few years ago I was writing a script and among the characters were a p...

You’re right! I was thinking this earlier when someone pointed out that “That 70s Show” would be “That 90s Show” if made today with the same timespan.

Back to the Future is about a kid from 1985 who travels back in time to 1955.

We are farther from 1985 now than it was from 1955.

Editing: Hard drives in the mail, man. It would only get expensive if the Europeans want to get involved. :p Editors could pop a drive in the mail plus a ten-dollar bill to the director. Much cheaper and faster in the long run than figuring out where to put hundreds of gigs of footage.

I loved making fancy DVDs with DVD Studio Pro, which I guess I won't be doing much of seeing as Apple killed it and never made a replacement.

I don't know how to make a fancy Blu-Ray with custom menus and such. I don't know if you can even buy a program that does such a thing.

"Frasier" ran 11 seasons and there's no season you have to make an excuse for. Granted, there are individual bad episodes, and one arc in particular I find a trial to watch (six or seven episodes with Jean Smart as a guest star character who rubs me the wrong way somehow). And there's generally one ...

NO SPOILERS When it was over I turned to my viewing companions and said "There's a lot to take in here." That's a good thing, I think. I agree with Bryan about not feeling excited for the next movie, but I think I know why. I have no idea what the next movie will be. None at all. After we saw TPM an...

I don't think I ever saw this one! This is the first time I've heard 'Quaylar' in ages, I mused, and then the name 'Natalie' came along. Really having some fun with the names there, ha ha! I liked the tough chick who played Natalie. I liked what you did with light vs. shadow as the film went on. I t...

I guess I somehow missed this one.

Man, that logo brought back some memories.

Audio's a problem.

I really liked the rooms and how you dressed them… it had a lot of texture, it was visually interesting and still clearly read as a girl's room, all those wacky pillows and animal prints, ha ha.

Remember when setting up an IMDB page was a massive effort and getting an IMDB page meant you were treated as a god? I used to be sort of the IMDB Fairy for student film at Northwestern, tracking down which films had gotten into fests and getting them listings and adding everyone's name. For years ...

Reddit. That's about it. And I read a lot of Twitter, but I don't have, like, a million e-friendships there. I also read the comment threads at Birth Movies Death, but I don't post (I don't even have an account)—still, lot of actual decent discussion there. I got de-modded from TFN for not showing u...

Last movie I saw in theatres was "mother!", a movie people either love or hate. I'm in the love camp. My most recent 'movie nobody's heard of I'm recommending like a madman' is "Girl Asleep", a quirky Australian comedy with fantastical elements. I'm blatantly copy-pasting this from Facebook: This is...

1. Star Wars has a lot of fantasy elements to it, almost more in common with epic fantasy than most hard sci-fi or space opera. This is why I have such a fondness for the 1976 novelization of ANH. It's a version of the story that _thinks_ the movie is something more like hard sci-fi. It's Star Wars...

Had you been to these places in Australia before? I mean, did you have ideas of the visuals and how it was all gonna look on the roads and such before you went, or was the idea to be surprised by the visuals and just find places to shoot as you went? As for people being nice on the road - you know, ...

Put my hand in on two more feature edits this year, albeit in limited capacity: "The Dirty Kind", a 1970s-ish scummy-criminals and crusading-detective-who-gets-rolled movie — supervising editor "The Garden Left Behind", a drama about a trans woman who drives a cab, featuring Michael Madsen and Ed As...

She'll always be that bird from "28 Days Later"

You know, I never saw that.

I finally got around to "Moonlight" and want to make some notes, as I suspect I'll want to discuss these topics when I do my annual "Oscar-winning movies I watched this year" post. I liked how it bent some rules of Hollywood storytelling. It's almost three smaller films in one than it is one movie. ...

I liked this movie all right, but my line about it is, this is the movie people who don't like Gilliam imagine when they think of Gilliam.

"The Zero Theorem" is far more successful in my opinion.

… Although I haven't seen either since theaters. (erk)

My favorite film of its year, and I'm not much of a horror guy.

I don't subscribe to Hulu but it's probably good that I won't see Handmaid's Tale until all the thinkpieces about Art In the Age of Trump calm down. Big exciting week in TV for the Adamster; three live musicals announced this week. I eat that shit up with a spoon. "Jesus Christ Superstar" in particu...

"In the Treetops" - copy-and-pasted from my Facebook post because I'm lazy It ain't gonna be my top movie of the year or anything, but a fellow wants to get behind a good movie that's obscure. The fact that such a strong film was made by college students (UNC School of the Arts) is awfully impressiv...
