Easily one of the best experiences in a cinema I’ve ever had. I would go as far as saying it’s the reason cinema was invented.

I was never actually that big of a fan of Rick Dalton, but seeing how upset Quentin is today and how inconsolable he is has me wanting to see The Fireman 2 again. My favorite Dalton film.
We are saddened by the news of the passing of actor Rick Dalton, best known for his roles in the hit TV series Bounty Law and The Fireman trilogy.
Rick passed away peacefully in his home in Hawaii and is survived by his wife Francesca.
RIP Rick Dalton 1933-2023

In Westwood after seeing “Oppenheimer,” Quentin Tarantino walks across the street and buys a ticket to see “Barbie.”

The Barbie showing in Westwood last night had such an amazing audience, literally cheering the movie. Many of them were larping. I haven't seen that in a while, and it was awesome.
So happy for cinemas having the busiest weekend in years. I saw ‘Oppenheimer’ in venue shaking 70mm IMAX, I couldn’t even get tix for ‘Barbie’ at my fav London screen. And you still have ‘Mission Impossible’ (and more) to dazzle your eyeballs out there. The big screen isn’t dead.

This would make an excellent poster for a re-release. The green color is very on-theme. The absence of "ATTRACTION" is definitely a post-modern touch. I also like "PAID BY: Credit"

I was friends with Jules Bass when we both lived in the south of France, he in Villefranche and I in Cap d’Antibes. He once had me and my wife over for dinner and made us an amazing Frozen Pear for dessert, and subsequently I sang “I’m Mr. Freezemiser” to him. RIP, Jules.

Film criticism is alive and well:
Eu un peu le même sentiment de vacuité que tt le monde devant The Killer mais un truc me chatouille. C’est l’histoire d’un "gun for hire" (expression US pour "pro contractuel") qui foire son seul contrat et passe le reste du film à renier tous ses mantras de manière systématique.

The fact that the fight started over an actual dick measuring contest was left out of the original Variety article. I wanna know who “won.” All we’re left with is that Burt held a grudge.
@AVARY
No one mentioned Dalton’s drunken brawl with Burt Reynolds on the set of Cannonball Run II. I still think he should have got the Voight role in Deliverance personally.

Maybe it's because the medium changed from photochemical to digitalelectrical, completely altering the production & distribution processes, which has certainly been a boon to producers & distributors, but the jury is out on how much damage it's done to the auteur theory.

I’m seeing this unusual title for the first time, which was originally simply “A Film By...” before the WGA mandated it be changed. This was to protect the interests of the writer...which is also me. 🤔 A curious anomaly, but also a good way to identify this version of the film.
