Whenever I get a little down I just rewatch Don Rickles go after Robert De Niro like an assassin in the Casino outtakes. Scorsese laughing his ass off the entire time. Ego death. Beautiful.

Martin Scorsese paced, cut and edited the final match between Sugar Ray Robinson and Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull to the shower scene in Psycho. He's discussed that fact in several interviews. It makes one wonder how many other films were inspired by Hitchcock's eye...

The artist exists because the world is not perfect. Art would be useless if the world were perfect, as man wouldn't look for harmony but would simply live in it. Art is born out of an ill-designed world. ~ Andrei Tarkovsky

There's no need to speak. You must only - concentrate and recall all your past life. When a man thinks of the past, he becomes kinder. ~ Stalker (1979) Tarkovsky A déjà vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something. ~ The Matrix (1999) Wachowski

Tarkovsky is for me the greatest, the one who invented a new language, true to the nature of film, as it captures life as a reflection, life as a dream. When film is not a document, it is dream. ~ Ingmar Bergman The Virgin Spring The Sacrifice Once Upon a Time in Anatolia

After Michael Gambon's passing I've been rewatching Prisoner of Azkaban (mostly with the sound off), and Michael Seresin's camera work and interpretation of Alfonso Cuarón's vision always amazes me. There is so much movement, so much nuanced work that isolates Harry even when he's in a crowded room. Beautiful.

Elevator To The Gallows (1958) score was composed and performed by Miles Davis in a one session recording while he watched a screening of the film. He took notes while watching the rough cut and then invited 4 fellow musicians without preparation to record it in one go. Genius.

A 14 ear old Jean-Pierre Léaud auditioned for François Truffaut's The 400 Blows after reading an ad in the newspaper. “I was as scared as the rest, but there are two kinds of fear. One closes you up, the other makes you give, almost with exuberance. Truffaut was as shy as I was but his shyness is more enclosed. I’m shy aggressively.”

The Shining (1980) is a cinematic maze. Wendy comments that you'd need to leave bread crumbs in order to exit The Overlook. The freezer door that Hallorann opens is not the one he closes. The kettles and plates on the table next to the door end up opposite the door they exit.

Peter Weller is one of the most articulate actors that I've ever listened to. He takes: "What's the plot of RoboCop?" and instantly makes you want to see it. I can see completely how he became a professor. Brilliant man.

A film is--or should be--more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later. ~Stanley Kubrick

Martin Scorsese didn't know why or how Hitchcock's Vertigo affected him in the way that it did as a 15 year old film goer but it's correct to assume that its impact has lasted well into contemporary filmmaking.

All Marty does is turn his mother on and say, 'Action.' That's it. And then anything goes between all of them. He would never direct her. He would just put her in the scene. He knew she was the perfect thing to make Bob and Joe improvise together. ~ Thelma Schoonmaker Goodfellas

Vilmos Zsigmond literally "kept the camera moving" throughout Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye. Vilmos dollied back and forth along tracks in order to bring an air of improvisation and immersion by constantly changing the orientation of the viewer to the actors and objects in the film.

Terrence Malick's Badlands opens with the off handed toned: "My Mother died of pneumonia when I was just a kid. My Father kept their wedding cake in the freezer for ten whole years. After the funeral he gave it to the yard man." By the time this sequence of images processes through our visual cortex- a mix of beauty and unfathomed cruelty- we might miss that Sissy Spacek's Holly is briefly framed above a Frigidaire advertisement at the piano school where her father hopes to preserve her innocence. She is the cake in a world that seems fast to discard the symbols and metaphors that should hold meaning in our lives. She is quickly gathered up by Martin Sheen's Kit- a yard man...

When Sundays arrive I get this nostalgia for when me and my brother would watch Action Theatre Matinee on the local KMPH tv broadcast (local channel 26). Usually a double feature, it was often a spaghetti western followed by a martial arts film. Leone's For A Few Dollars More might be one of my all time favorite endings to a film. It captures an emotional timbre that's absent from TGTBATU. I think that final shot of the bodies being carted away for the bounty might be one of the best bow ties ever. For me anyway. I do miss Action Theatre on a Sunday afternoon with my brother.
