It will never cease to amaze and delight me that in 1971, Vincent Price came to Hamilton, Ontario for 3 days and shot 130 episodes worth of host material for the low-budget kids show Hilarious House of Frightenstein and played it like it was the Mercury Theater. Total pro.

Fun news: My weirdo making of doc THE ASHGROVE EXPERIMENT is now finally available to rent or buy in the United States on Amazon Prime Video! "A unique and loony experiment. I loved how it captured the spirit of low budget filmmaking.” - Atom Egoyan amazon.com/Ashgrove-Exper…

You racist mutt. Ed Burns, the co-creator of the television narrative, was the lead investigator on the Title III cases that encountered all of the counter-surveillance and organizational depth inherent in the Baltimore drug game. We used the real.

David Simon's "the wire" is an excellent series but total fantasy. black gangs are not that sophisticated, skilled, and organized. it's mostly low iq petty crime. they're not even adept at that level.

@BrndnStrssng Very funny moment on The Big Picture when he says that if he ever made a sci-fi movie he'd be competing with 2001 & Solaris, and Fennessey replies "Holding yourself to the standard of Kubrick & Tarkovsky is fun, that sounds like a nice way to live," and Corbet totally cracks up.

I like The Brutalist a lot more than many of my Esteemed Friends, Family and Collegues but Brady Cor-bay does come across like a giant bozo every time he gets on the mic. But I also think that might be why I like him and his movies so much

something i wonder about Spielberg is how he came to this style. without being able to actually see most of his short films, it feels like he must have learned this on TV, as a way to get more "shots" on a tight schedule.
🟡 The tumboy 🟡@TheTumboy

obviously much flashier examples, but this is the real Spielberg juice. little nothing moments that could have easily been standard coverage and cutting, but he instead just effortlessly does it in one and keeps things moving so you don’t even notice

@caitiedelaney I cannot tell you how annoying I was to everyone I knew when this played its one-week Oscar qualifying run in NYC.

@CoreyAtad I rarely hear him mention Curtiz, and he's the one guy that, when I watch The Sea Wolf or The Breaking Point, I think had an all-in-one-shot style that's most similar to what Spielberg does.

@garbo__talks Truly. And it's fascinating how many connections there are between the Dawson gold rush and where we are now.
