This whole situation sounds odd to me. This woman was able to handle the wild antics of Ken Russell, but she’s irritated by Tom Hardy playing Fishdom and being arrogant? Something is amiss to this story.

I’ll be honest with you, I’ve never understood why this was nom’d for 11 and won 3 Academy Awards.
It’s not that it’s awful, at all — it’s just that it’s not that level (for me).
CHARIOTS OF FIRE (1981)
Anyway, it was released 45yrs ago today.

@TheStingisBack Nicholas Kazan. Great writer. See also Reversal of Fortune and At Close Range.

Fallen (1998) deserves way more love. Denzel Washington took on horror, surrounded himself with a stellar cast and sold a killer premise: a fallen angel that body-hops with a touch. It flopped on release, but we really need to reappraise this gem... Time truly is on its side

@_Afcbanks A glorious player. Wenger never forgave him for going to Barcelona.

@CinemaTweets1 Robert McKee personally suggested Cox should play him.

Brian Cox’s monologue in Adaptation is something you can’t forget after you’ve seen it. I honestly don’t remember much about this movie (should probably rewatch) but I remember this moment. This was one of my introductions to Cox. He’s the definition of a world-class actor.

IMPORTANT RELEASE: Not only has John Hancock's thought-lost WEEDS been found (35 mm elements only, but I'll take it), but the BR also has Hancock's 1970 Oscar-nominated comedy short STICKY MY FINGERS... shot in Central Park w/ Charles Durning & Val Bisoglio.

@Carol4OliveFarm Get well soon. I saw An Awfully Big Adventure last night for the first time. You were excellent in it as always. Great cast!

I think I might have cracked a rib. I'm not quite sure how - writing too many big words, heaving them across the page? - and I think I have also caught M's flu. However, the sun is back for a bit so I feel less sorry for myself. It's another long weekend coming up here. x

@FitFounder Agreed. Regular walks make a massive difference. Even 10 minutes.

@Carol4OliveFarm I saw the 'Father' recently on amazon prime. Really excellent film. You are both wonderful in it.

Max Von Sydow died 5 years ago today, aged 90. He was my friend and my 'Father'. We spent 3 months together in Melbourne shooting the film. It was a remarkable experience for me. I loved and respected him deeply.

Stephen Tobolowsky has not only been a very good actor for a very long time - he knows David Byrne. And he's apparently psychic. Byrne wrote the Talking Heads song Radio Head for him on this score. And that's where the guys from Oxford got their name. twitter.com/RichardERoeper…

With Groundhog Day coming, let's be kind to Ned Ryerson. He was mocked as Needle Nose Ned at Case Western High, got the shingles real bad senior year, dated Phil’s sister twice before Phil told him not to anymore--yet he was thrilled to see Phil all those years later. Good guy.

@wychstreet I'm not sure. The story of his gf leaving him for Tom Cruise is.

@JedAukin Is the story of the Paris, Texas monologue in there?

Saw Blue Velvet in the cinema last night and HEINEKEN? FUCK THAT SHIT! PABST BLUE RIBBON! got loud cheers

@wychstreet It might still be on netflix. I remember being surprised how good he was in Last Temptation of Christ. Then you find out he did tons of classical theatre in rep. before breaking into movies.
