Worth noting - literally NOTHING in the original article indicates this is actually happening. Deadline - as usual - breathlessly regurgitated a press release from a shitty AI company suggesting their idiotic creation MIGHT be about to sign with a random un-named agency, and we all lost our minds.

In honor of Walter Matthau’s birthday, I felt I should bring this over from the other place.

Watched Charlie Sheen's Netflix doc, decided to check out THE ROOKIE. Don't think I've watched it since '90. A definite "one for them", somehow made btw WHITE HUNTER BLACK HEART and UNFORGIVEN. Easily Clint's loudest. The exception to the rule that any movie featuring Pepe Serna is worth your while.

Tron: Area feels like a marketing experiment to find out the exact kind of movie NO ONE wants to see.

American film screenwriter, director and visual effects supervisor Dan O'Bannon (1946-2009) was born 79 years ago today.

Google AI completely fabricating a scene from Cameron's TITANIC in order to appease my search for a line from RAISE THE TITANIC.

Not one agent or studio has confirmed this. It's just Velden manifesting. I do this when anyone asks me how the writing's going. "Oh yeah, I'm in talks with a number of managers and prodcos." See? It's that easy to spread bullshit.

So we're not getting medbeds now?

Two terrific movies but I can't imagine a more disparate twofer than this.

Well don't I feel stupid

My view rn

I highly recommend TORNADO, a beautifully shot and artfully constructed western about a samurai's daughter (Kōki,) crossing a gang of Scottish bandits led by Tim Roth. Available on VOD.

THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT / THELMA & LOUISE

He's gonna order them to invade Tanqueray.

Apparently INXS' X album turns 35 today but that can't be. I vividly remember buying it brand new my senior year of HS which would make me... *does math* Shit.

Listen all y'all, it's a triple sabotage Listen all y'all, it's a triple sabotage Listen all y'all, it's a triple sabotage Listen all y'all, it's a triple sabotage

This has always bothered me. Why is the "T" upside down? We're looking at it from the reverse which is the "E" is backwards, so why is the "T" upside down? Also, why aren't I further along on this draft?

Today's find. One of my handful of North Star scripts.

Cardinale worked w. Gance, Visconti (4x), Fellini, Edwards (3x), Mackendrick, Skolimowski, Cavani, Herzog, Bellocchio, plays Jill McBain for Leone. Acted on film for 64 years. Appeared in at least 5 films which could be The Greatest. A career to beat anybody's. Watch her in anything tonight.

Claudia Cardinale and Robert Redford dying in the same week puts the world in a hotness deficit not seen since at least the 19th century

Oh man, RIP Claudia Cardinale

It's Bruce Springsteen's birthday! If you haven't heard this, check out this early recording of Born In The USA. Imagine having something this great in the can and thinking, "Nah. We're not there yet." www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YNu...

"Everyone says I should get the Nobel Peace Prize."

"Pack your bags, we're going on a guilt trip!"

Trump endlessly saying “I ended seven wars” like Donald Pleasance’s "I shot him six times!" from HALLOWEEN II.

Starting to think this rapture thing is bullshit.

Me and the gang on the first day of Fall watching those leaves change.

MILLER'S CROSSING is 35. A few years back, I visited New Orleans and spent a day looking for filming locations. For funsies, here are some of them. (1/3) First up: Barton Arms, Tom's apt. Rode out to it in a rickety cable car. It was December, the temp was in the 40s and I'll never do that again.

what movie do you consider "perfect?"

Peter Hyams' terrific remake of NARROW MARGIN is 35. I remember seeing this trailer in front of AIR AMERICA and then spending the next couple hours wishing I could see it instead.

Get. Fucked.

It'd be a lot cooler if you didn't.

oh fuck off

Today's find

wtf is "fracturingly funny"?

Starting to look like autumn around here.
