imagine being fourteen years old and cast in a francis ford coppola picture with marlon brando, harrison ford, martin sheen, robert duvall, dennis hopper, and still being able to steal scenes. laurence fishburne is too masterful for his own good.
martin scorsese has done more for cinema than any person alive today. claiming that one of the only directors who spends more time saving movies than making them, and to say he is limiting access to film, proves you have no concept of not only his work but film history itself.
Joe Russo says he was unbothered by ‘The Gray Man’ only playing in theaters for one week: “I’ve got four kids, so I can identify Gen Z’s habits pretty accurately. They don’t have the same emotional connection to watching things in a theater.”

fun fact: while shooting no country for old men in texas, the coen brothers had to stop shooting one of the exterior scenes because there was a black smoke in the sky caused by paul thomas anderson testing the effects for the oil derick fire when filming there will be blood.
i raised myself on philip seymour hoffman movies since i first saw mission impossible 3 when i was ten. reading about his life and personal anecdotes makes me feel so close to what i've always sensed as a long lost friend.
miss watching the pictures with her. she really loved citizen kane and and i wish i could ask her why. was it the editing, ms luna? what made you sit on my table for two hours looking at the screen and never letting me take you off it.
when i was 16 catcher in the rye was my favorite book because that was the first time i was able to complete a book in english, which is my second language.
my copy has annotations with words i had never heard before. it is the only book i would save in a fire.
i don’t think people realize how much martin scorsese has done for others. when i was fourteen i watched the wolf of wall street for the first time as a non english speaker and learned so many swear words and drug terms because of him. i’m grateful.
martin scorsese was once asked by a ten year old "how do i become a film director?" he waited and replied "make your movie. grab a cell phone, everyone has one these days". that kid was orson welles.
barry jenkins talking about 35mm emulsion and the issues it has on darker skin.
as someone who only uses film, i still do not know why there hasn't been a change for this problem that has been present for all its history.
The Wolf of Wall Street (1929) is today believed to be a lost film. The only part of the movie known to still exist is this brief montage sequence created by Slavko Vorkapić
i think jeffrey wright is the perfect wes anderson actor and i feel like we will never see a picture by anderson without him from now on. his perfomances on both asteroid city and the french dispatch were brilliant.
godard struggling financially reminds me of how orson welles begged for money in all hollywood and was rejected by all.
this is how an art form built on profit treats the ones who revolutionized it.
they put the great minds aside. replace them. turn it all dust.
when i first met martin scorsese in 2005 i told him about the book i was reading -- i heard you paint houses. i explained to him i wanted to make it as a picture, so yeah, this happens a lot.
The thing about The Twilight Zone is that you’ll be watching and then suddenly realize you’ve been looking at a shot that belongs in the Louvre but doesn’t call attention to itself and then it just keeps going and there’s like ten more shots like that in the episode.
