neutral · AI labelView post →This is a COMPLETELY different movie than the American remake that just shares a general premise. I can and have gone on rants about how badly the American remake fucks up. The original is a slow burn at building tension and never quite releasing it so it just keeps ratcheting up the entire runtime
positive · AI labelView post →A joy to talk movie making with Guillermo del Toro at the sold out screening today of ED WOOD. Thanks to Mel Brooks for programming the film and to all who came out to the American Cinematheque.
neutral · AI labelView post →The American Venus (1926) may be a lost film but the surviving trailer has a few seconds of Louise. In this slapstick scene, Louise as Miss Bayport gets rudely manhandled by pageant judge Hugo Niles (Ford Sterling) as he tries to keep her from being discovered by his wife.
neutral · AI labelView post →Another take of Louise for The American Venus (1926). Photographer was probably George Hommel who took a number of portraits and stills for the film. Note: this image is a superior version to the one I’ve posted before.

neutral · AI labelView post →And we're off with MOVIE NO. 118 in our chronological tour through the American movies of the 80s! It's October 1980, and this movie, though it's got horror vibes and horror cues, isn't one for the season - except insofar as humans can be monstrous to each other. It's David Lynch's THE ELEPHANT MAN!
neutral · AI labelView post →Time for my annual Halloween viewing of The VVitch: a horror movie written within the 17th century Calvinist worldview, in which the devil is the American wilderness but also the actual devil. Wouldst thou like to live…deliciously?
neutral · AI labelView post →The American Kalem company said "Hold my beer" and sent a whole film crew to Egypt to capture the whole darn thing. FROM THE MANGER TO THE CROSS (1912) was supposed to be a short but everyone got carried away and darn if they didn't make the earliest known American epic feature.
neutral · AI labelView post →"The American People want reconciliation" is like in a horror movie when they're all like "oh I'm sure the monster is dead" No we freaking don't Keep that foot on the gas and let's roll into 2028
neutral · AI labelView post →The American dub of the film (named GODZILLA 1985) has one of the most interesting changes in the history of the franchise. In the original, a Soviet sub with a nuclear missile heads to Tokyo bay. Godzilla damages the sub, and the captain dies trying to prevent the missile launch.
neutral · AI labelView post →And we're off,with MOVIE NO. 115 in our chronological tour through the American movies of the 80s - this one's a nice look at the state of American music from one of its most prominent practitioners, as well as a look at nostalgia...it's Paul Simon, starring in his script for ONE TRICK PONY!
neutral · AI labelView post →It features Mary Fuller, one of the very first big movie stars who would go on to pioneer the serial genre. 1910 was the first year of the American star system and Fuller's name appears nowhere in the advertising.
neutral · AI labelView post →I just saw a movie trailer for an upcoming (Christian?) musical set during the American Revolution, in which the title character sings an ominous version of ”The Little Drummer Boy” (composed 1941, popularized 1950s), so there’s that.
neutral · AI labelView post →And we're off, with MOVIE NO. 114 in our chronological tour through the American movies of the 1980s! It's a fairly pointless sequel...except that it has some very interesting ramifications for our story. It's George Burns as the Big Guy in October 1980's...OH, GOD BOOK II!
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatched the American version of The Ring tonight. I had forgotten how much of this movie was more about solving the mystery than the horror stuff. In fact, I had the thought "this movie has a similar plot progression to National Treasure." Sorry
neutral · AI labelView post →And we're off with MOVIE NO. 109 in our chronological tour through the American movies of the 80s! It's another story of navigating the difficulties of childhood at the turn of the decade; I suppose in some ways it's also a tale of neoliberalism, markets in everything; really, it's...MY BODYGUARD!
neutral · AI labelView post →And we're off, with MOVIE NO. 120 in our chronological tour through the American movies of the 1980s! This is an interesting one for our story, a popular hit that speaks to questions of women in the workplace, albeit in a bit unusual way...from October 1980, it's Goldie Hawn in PRIVATE BENJAMIN!
neutral · AI labelView post →On this date in 1939, the American classic "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," starring James Stewart, had its world premiere; although it angered the political establishment, the drama won wide acclaim from the public and film industry.
neutral · AI labelView post →And we're off, with MOVIE NO. 116 in our chronological tour through the American movies of the 80s! Do you like romance? Do you like time travel? Do you like hotels? Do you like a time travel romance set in a hotel? Then you'll probably like Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour's...SOMEWHERE IN TIME!
neutral · AI labelView post →And we're off, with MOVIE NO. 106 in our chronological tour through the American movies of the 1980s! A short one, this time, on a fun little trifle of a movie that allows us to briefly consider that subgenre of the spy comedy - it's Walter Matthau and Glenda Jackson in September 1980's HOPSCOTCH!
neutral · AI labelView post →And we're off, with *MOVIE NO. 125* in our chronological tour through the American movies of the 80s - which makes it a great time to jump on, or recommend these threads to others to do so! I'd be grateful! And this is a bit of a fun one, if you like your horror schlocky and grindy..it's MOTEL HELL!

This one's a little-known but interesting look at two spaces we've seen before: New York City, and the situation young women find themselves in, at the start of the decade...it's TIMES SQUARE!
neutral · AI labelView post →And we're off with MOVIE NO. 126 in our tour through the American movies of the 80s! This comes from a little earlier in the month, but it was harder for me to get my hands on...but it was enjoyable and interesting, nonetheless! It's Robert Sacchi in...THE MAN WITH BOGART'S FACE!
neutral · AI labelView post →Patrick Wolf looming in from the American desert at the Q&A after the premiere of Wolf at Doc & Roll Film Festival tonight. A poignant film about recovery and rediscovering creativity after terrible lows, but most of all the connection and love between a mother and a son.

neutral · AI labelView post →And we're off, with MOVIE NO. 117 in our chronological tour through the American movies of the 1980s! Perhaps you were wondering: wouldn't Halloween, or any slasher movie, be better with a little close-up magic? Well, wonder no more, as we talk about October 1980's....TERROR TRAIN!

neutral · AI labelView post →And we're off, with MOVIE NO. 107 in our chronological tour through the American movies of the 1980s - and here's a brief look at a quick and gross stab in the dark - it's the September 1980 horror movie WITHOUT WARNING!
neutral · AI labelView post →Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Both versions of the film are great 🐉 I love the opening credits sequence of the American remake. 🎶
neutral · AI labelView post →And we're off, with MOVIE NO. 123 in our chronological tour through the American movies of the 1980s! This one's a bit of a horror throwback, and reminds us, in our story, of some important currents that 80s horror will both channel and cast aside...from October 80, it's SCHIZOID!
neutral · AI labelView post →The opening of THE LAST BOY SCOUT is one of the craziest and most SHOCKINGLY ABSURD things I've ever seen, but it's also so COMPELLING in how it just GRABS your attention. The violence in this film is pretty incredible, and makes me feel that Tony Scott may have been the American John Woo in a way.
neutral · AI labelView post →Spent my Halloween night at the theater with my dog watching peak cinema. Wildwood is such an amazing film and I don't even know where to begin to sing its praises. We need more films like it in the American animation sphere. Seriously, go see it if you haven't already.
neutral · AI labelView post →it’s Goodfellas day on Blank Check which means it’s time for the American Movie Going Public to reconcile with the fact this this film contains scenes that are so well directed that they completely overshadow its baffling and lopsided narrative construction
neutral · AI labelView post →#LastFourWatched my enjoyment of softcore cinema hit a new high with Popatopolis, a behind the scenes doc following the filming of The Witches of Breastwick. It's a grueling miserable three day shoot, but to what end? Listening to actresses like Julie Strain mourn the American B movie is very sad.
neutral · AI labelView post →Does anyone else remember the American Death Note film that had Willem Dafoe as Ryuk or did we all just decide to collectively block that out of our consciousness
neutral · AI labelView post →And we're off, with MOVIE NO. 121 in our chronological tour through the American movies of the 80s, and, in the spirit of the season, a fun little horror movie about the horror of movies...from October 1980, it's FADE TO BLACK!

neutral · AI labelView post →And we're off, with MOVIE NO. 112 in our chronological tour through the American movies of the 80s - and this is a real lion in winter pic, where a titan of American culture bows out, mostly quietly: it's Frank Sinatra's last leading role in October 1980's...THE FIRST DEADLY SIN!
neutral · AI labelView post →Let’s not ignore the allusion to the American Birth of a Nation movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →On this date in 1968, the American action film "Bullitt" was released; it features Steve McQueen in what many consider his definitive role and is also known for its iconic car-chase sequence.
neutral · AI labelView post →And we're off with MOVIE NO. 113 in our chronological tour through the American movies of the 1980s! And this one's a somewhat sanguine take on a kind of generally caricatured sub-sub-genre: it's a kid and a maternal substitute on the run from the mob in a movie directed by Cassavetes...it's GLORIA!
neutral · AI labelView post →We're back on that "8647" nonsense and Ted Cruz says "86" is in every mob movie he's ever seen and it means to "whack a guy." But a search of the scripts from the American Film Institute's 10 greatest gangster movies found 0 instances of "86" being used. x.com/swd2/status/...

neutral · AI labelView post →A film with a lot of class. Be sure to see the original UK version ....not the American one that has had crucial minutes cut. The original 1911 story, M.R. James' "Casting the Runes", has something of #Hookland in it. @hookland.bsky.social

neutral · AI labelView post →If you can detach yourself from the human cost of basically demolishing three entire industries (film, TV & games) it's actually fascinating to watch, because I think everyone underestimates how much the American global hegemony is maintained by the cool factor of its culture industry.
