„Hape Kerkeling ist am Ende. Er schwört nun die Bürger darauf ein, nicht mehr aufzumucken. […] Das Kanu des Manitu und der letzte Strombergfilm waren miserabel, aber „Horst Schlämmer sucht das Glück“ ist eine bodenlose Frechheit.“

@AwardsConnect She was wonderful and put so much heart into her work. Even in the smallest part (i. e. in "Untraceable"), she oozed so much warmth and life.
Happy Birthday, Annabella Sciorra
90s suburban-terror thrillers were everywhere, Michael Keaton, Ray Liotta, even Drew Barrymore couldn’t be trusted. One of the best was The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, with Rebecca De Mornay as the nanny from hell… beautiful, but a bit psychotic
Luis Buñuel on the prank he pulled on Fernando Rey during the filming of "Tristana" (1970):
"Whenever I think of the shoot, I remember a joke I played on Fernando Rey. (As he's a very dear friend, I hope he'll forgive me this confession.) Like so many actors, Fernando had a healthy appreciation of his own popularity; he loved being recognized in the street and having people turn around and stare when he walked by. One day I told the production manager to bribe some local high school students to wait until Fernando and I were sitting side by side in a café, at which point the students were to come up to me, one by one, and ask for my autograph.
They were instructed to ask only me and to ignore Fernando. When the scene was finally set, the first young man appeared and asked for my autograph, which I gave him happily. As soon as he walked away, without so much as a glance at Fernando, a second student arrived and did exactly the same thing. As the third stepped up, Fernando burst out laughing. When I asked him how he'd figured it out, he replied that the idea of someone asking me for an autograph and not him seemed so utterly impossible that he knew it had to be a joke."
("My Last Sigh", Buñuel, 1983)
P.S: On this day, 56 years ago, "Tristana" (1970) was released in Spain.
