Just heard this playing on one of the flotilla boats and thought that Ms. Simone would have been proud of them

Every once in a while, something will happen to reveal just how many classic film fans have major issues. That “Academy museum is WOKE” piece is one such event. I realized very quickly that some old movie fans are there because they LIKE the retrograde attitudes. Not all. Nowhere near all. But some

Rocky Horror aficionados used to attend screenings of the film over and over to take notes on the details. Accurately mirroring every line and dance move has gotten easier over time.

“AI isn’t magic; it’s a pyramid scheme of human labor,” said Adio Dinika, a researcher at the Distributed AI Research Institute based in Bremen, Germany. “These raters are the middle rung: invisible, essential and expendable.”

We’ve saved the best for last: Local Sightings Film Festival wraps this Sunday with AFTERIMAGES: EXPERIMENTAL SHORTS! These spellbinding short films feature an array of filmmaking techniques, including abandoned 16mm home movies, stop-motion with recycled cardboard, and eco-friendly processing.

CineSavant’s Glenn Erickson assesses a movie that isn’t yet on Blu-ray. England’s 1956 Michael Anderson version of George Orwell’s legendary book 1984 dropped (mostly) out of sight long ago. The production impresses in every way. trailersfromhell.com/1984-1956/

“…an exercise in hard-boiled sleaze. The movie is creatively suggestive & well shot in glorious black & white… the 1965 movie returns to claim cult status.” J. Hoberman, The New York Times See a new 35mm print tonight & next Thurs. of WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR? grandillusioncinema.org/film/who-kil...

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Passings as these seem so personal. Claudia Cardinale wasn't just a pretty face onscreen, in front of the camera,. Her features AND talent had an unmistakable natural chemistry with the camera. Another presence you never wanted to go. 💔 📸: Francois Gragnon 1961 Cannes Film Festival

MARGARET LINDSAY — m.imdb.com/name/nm05122... BOTD, she is one of my very favorite actresses from the classic film era. You probably know of her opposite Bette Davis in “JEZEBEL” ( 1938 ). But here are just a coupla snippets from some of her films . . . #TCMParty

Rest in Peace Magical Claudia Cardinale

Robert Redford on location for Little Fauss and Big Halsy by Sidney J. Furie (1970)

For Greta Garbo's birthday, "The Mysterious Lady" by Ruth Harriet Louise, 1928 🎂 "She is so young, & so sad; she has so many moods, & even when she smiles I always sense a great sadness." - RHL Garbo & Louise were both only 22 years old in 1928

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

Robert Redford wasn’t just a great actor. He used his profile to help others. From environmentalism, Native American rights, LGBTQ advocacy, and independent film, he cared deeply about people, and preserving their culture and world.

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

Barbara Stanwyck effortlessly moved her Oscar nominated career into TV, even starring in her own anthology show (The Barbara Stanwyck Show). In the 70s, she starred in two made for television thrillers: The House that Would Not Die and Taste of Evil and she's a great Small Screen Scream Queen!

For more than 40 years, Richard Fleischer directed big stars like Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas, and Jane Russell. But he was only star struck with Sylvia Sidney, on the set of Violent Saturday (1955). Sylvia made it easy for him: “Just tell me when to cry.” He titled his memoir after her advice.
