🎬 When Hollywood represents broadcast news and Reality TV 👀 utpdistribution.com/978363151852...

🎬 For maverick persuasions on Order and hierarchies...the Scorsese/ Burke team is the one to watch. 👀

The New York critic Vincent Canby stuck the knife in...and so Cimino withdrew the film and there were no audiences. - Canby and others preferred to be in the Lucas galaxies far, far away...

🎬 Yes. The hierarchies of power that he reveals in gangster land is here so much more subtle and delicate. But just as ruthless when it comes to protecting the status quo from outsiders. #Scorsese

Not only was Heaven's Gate (Cimino, 1980) good, actually, but Michael Cimino was unfairly maligned for it.

5- New York, New York (Martin Scorsese, 1977) Una de las rarezas, minusvalorada en su momento, de Sorsese, y que mejora con los años. Precioso homenaje al género musical en el que De Niro contó con la mejor aliada posible: Liza Minnelli.

One that nobody ever talks about, but I adore, is At Long Last Love. Bogdanovich at the height of his power trying to make a live recorded musical with stars who couldn’t sing at a time musicals were totally out of fashion, but… Once you forget all that it’s just an extremely cute, goofy comedy.

Getting to see the 4K remaster of this Coppola curio on Valentine’s Day at The PCC and couldn’t be more excited. Despite this film not entirely working and literally bankrupting Coppola, which he’d spend near on 15 years working off it has a special place in my heart.

🎬 Can't get enough of how Stewart seems in role as the prowling spy.👁️

Bowie is more of a Hitchcock fan

👁️ 🎬 In keeping with that Jacobean interest in challenging the given divide - between theatre and 'real' life. With a sly joke along the way... #Hitchcock 👀

The nasty spider in his web...

Yes. I covered this for my doctorate ...noting that #foxnews was featured in INDEPENDENCE DAY (20th Century Fox) ...months BEFORE its premier in Oct 1996.

👁️ I've been considering a sequel to my doctorate on the first wave Hollywood representation of broadcast news - from NETWORK to THE INSIDER - so cameras on cameras, movie stars shining as anchors/presenters... And here we are.

One of my four case study films ...

📚🎬 A core interest in the book is how and why interest in Hitchcock - by audiences, theorists, and filmmakers - resurfaced in the 1980s and onwards.👀

🎬 The first 10 min. Sound familiar? - man strangles ex-wife - macabre birds eating corpse (montage) - false perceptions - innocent man escapes keystone law - comic family meal - with daughter for absent mother/wife - then search for MacGuffin...in her car. 💫 #Hitchcock 1937 youtu.be/Yo2zmh6VpKI?...

🎬⚠️ Hitchcock's own production dexterities in ROPE matched their nasty murderous 'intellectual exercise'.

⚠️Shock! ⚠️Horror! 🎂Birthday!!! #hitchcock

📎 Jacobean drama challenges/plays with the traditional binary between fictional and nonfictional modes. 💫

Kenneth Burke, American Poet https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/94450

Thinking of other musicals that fell flat in spite of having good directors: "New York, New York" by Scorsese, "One From the Heart" by Coppola.

In THE LAST WALTZ, Scorsese seems in complete control of his talent and of the material, and you can feel everything going right, just as in NEW YORK, NEW YORK you could feel everything going wrong. (1978)

🎬 Where a Hollywood person works as a film actor who - plays a theatre actor in a film - who must fake a role - against a star actor - to get to the truth. Jacobean wit and design by #Hitchcock

🎬 While at Yale Director Michael Cimino studied art history and architecture. HEAVEN'S GATE (1980). 👁️ Just sayin'

From Hollywood to London. Michael Cimino in 1983 thanking me for seeing HEAVEN'S GATE. #filmmaking

‘Heaven's Gate’ [1980]. Dir: Michael Cimino.

[THE KING OF COMEDY] Like Coppola in ONE FROM THE HEART, Scorsese puts "little people" who are mountains of clichés at the center, and then italicizes everything around them. He does it in a style that's so domineering it's screwy. (1983)

#SundaySentence "Man is the symbol-using…animal, inventor of the negative (or moralized by the negative), separated from his natural condition by instruments of his own making, goaded by the spirit of hierarchy (or moved by the sense of order), and rotten with perfection.” —Kenneth Burke

🎬 His final scene in THE CONVERSATION is now so poignant. RIP #GeneHackman✌️

Home away from home. 🎬 Armani helping out on CASINO. Scorsese's parents worked in the New York garment industry.👁️

Can't keep my eyes off such devilish Jacobean intrigues.

👁️ Who's watching who. It's a Jacobean mess out there. ⚠️

Subversives. 🎬 What Uncle Charlie does to Santa Rosa... Hitchcock does to Hollywoodland.

YES! If you’re in New York, come on down! Plenty of obsessive longing for everyone!

📯 Jacobean drama is compelling when fearful content is matched with satisfying artistic design.

Bogdanovich in the archives. '...a maverick in the sense that he deliberately went against the New Hollywood grain ...the maverick temperament of the time ...in an attempt to reaffirm the Classic template without the sharp critical roughness of Scorsese, Coppola, Cimino' Prep for Chapter Four.

🎬 📎 ✍️ From the archives. The book intro' 🤨 Connecting Kenneth Burke (Permanence and Change) and the Hollywood system - technology - magic/talent/mystery - religion (hierarchy/order.)

ROPE foreshadows their next three films that gradually dismantle the process of knowing. VERTIGO is an epistemological trap. #Hitchcock
