@CinemaTweets1 As I’ve grown older and those films have set in the foundation stone of my life as a cinephile, I’ve come to realise Pacino’s Michael in G2 is THE emperor of the human resting bitch-face. No other actor will ever come close. Never.

Robert Duvall’s passing has me down another Godfather rabbit hole. Probably the third or fourth of my life, where I just can’t stop thinking about this film & how utterly perfect every inch of this movie is top to bottom. Especially Pacino. Most importantly, Pacino. What a film.

Imagine Federico Fellini directing Eyes Wide Shut… Arthur Schnitzler’s grandson reveals in the SK13 doc that Fellini tried to snag the rights to Traumnovelle first—but Kubrick beat him to it. #Fellini #EyesWideShut #SK13Kubrick #StanleyKubrick #Cinema

Screen testing this morning @IFI_Dub a shining example of cinema. Showing from today in 4K and a decent volume. #stanleykubrick #projectionbooth 📽️#irishfilminstitute

Woody is 90 today. He’s been writing for 75 years. At least 50 of them on the same typewriter. #projectionbooth #irishfilminstitute #WoodyAllen

@Thunderballs007 Barry Nelson, later to retire as a spy to manage the Overlook hotel in The Shining.

On January 16th 1962, the first day of filming began on DR NO, Sean Connery became the first actor to be hired by EON Productions to play their James Bond on the big screen. Originally a TV production of Casino Royale in 1954 introduced us to "Jimmy" Bond played by Barry Nelson.

@Dene71 Back then, if you were a cinephile or comic book head you were well aware as you read Starlog and the like. But John Q. Public mostly didn’t know. Either way, how could you not be dazzled by that climax. Just wonderful 💕

As far as I knew, they HAD advertised that it was two movies made back-to-back. But apparently they didn't. 🤷‍♂️ #BackToTheFuture

"Kid, you all right? Need any help?" "There's only one man who can help me!" The dazzling ending to #BackToTheFuture Part II (1989) -- which many cinemagoers thought a cheat because they didn't know there was a cliffhanger and another film*. 📽️ *I did and loved it.

@tomsmason91 The virtual non inclusion of the Bond theme by Serra in his score was apparently because he didn’t want to give up royalties to Norman & Barry.

Every use of the James Bond Theme 17: GoldenEye (1995) GoldenEye's score is probably the most unorthodox and abstract in its use (or non-use!) of the Bond Theme of the series. I'm a confirmed defender of this score, though, and can't imagine the film without it.

Just found out cinematographer Adam Greenberg passed away a couple days ago. TERMINATOR 1 & 2, GHOST, Rush Hour, Near Dark, and countless others - he had an incredible eye for night photography, and his influence can still be seen everywhere today. RIP to a legend.

Bilge Ebiri asks Jim Jarmusch a question we've always wondered about when it comes to indie filmmakers: “How do you pay the bills?”
