Jack Nicholson explains why he wanted his performance as the Joker to scare the children: "I was afraid because of my feel of the television series and the way movies tend to be done and talked about. I didn’t want this to go through the normal. ‘Let’s brighten it...

John Carpenter on how the studio, audience and critics reacted after watching "Big Trouble in Little China" (1986) & the reason for movie's failure: "Carpenter: I thought about writing a book about my experiences in Hollywood being a director, mainly because I was burned out on making movies. But | didn't do it because | thought, “I’m not ready yet. | don't have enough to say yet. I need to make more films and | don’t want to quit yet.” Interviewer: How did Fox executives react when they saw the movie for the first time? Carpenter: Needless to say, they had a few problems with the movie. They sat down with me and we went through the film. They didn’t like that the white hero was such a buffoon, and that he was being shown up by the Asians. They were afraid the audience wouldn't think this guy was brave, so they asked me to cut out the humor and emphasize his bravery, which was impossible to do. Then we got to the preview stage. The audience that saw it really loved it and laughed, so they wanted me to put the humor back in and go back to what it was—they still hated the movie, though. They didn't want Kurt to play it plenty. They wanted him to be an action hero, a real live action hero, not Jack Burton. They wanted him to be more like Rambo or Stallone. They wanted him to play it straight and it wasn't straight. Interviewer: How was the movie perceived by the audience and the critics? Carpenter: Nobody got it. Like I said earlier, timing was never my thing in terms of when my movies come out. This movie was completely and totally misunderstood. The critics and the public thought it was just bad, and there is nothing | can do about that." ("John Carpenter - The Prince of Darkness", Gilles Boulenger, 2001) P.S: On this day, 40 years ago, "Big Trouble in Little China" (1986) was released in the USA.

Raven was asked when he was in ECW, was the goal to get back to WWE or WCW? “I was really happy at ECW but yes, I wanted to go back to WWE. I wanted to be the top guy in the top promotion. I got to be the top guy in the number three promotion. And for a long time, I felt like my career was a failure because of that. I think I talked about it in the movie, in the documentary, but it took a lot of time on a therapist couch to let myself off the hook. Because you hold yourself to such a high standard that I can’t see the forest for the trees. If anybody would have came up to me and told me what my career was, and it was theirs. I said, Man, you got a really successful career. But I couldn’t count it as with that for me, because I didn’t get to be a World Champion of the WWE. (Chris Van Vliet)

I’ve lived in the UK for the last 10 years as a proud, law abiding immigrant. This country gave me a home and I’ve always flown the British flag with pride. But today, I’ve taken every single flag down from my house. Why? Because in Great Britain, flying the British flag now feels like a crime. Think about that. An immigrant like me, who loves this country, is being made to feel ashamed of the very flag that represents it. The same flag that stands for freedom, sacrifice, and unity. I didn’t take them down because I wanted to. I took them down because I was made to feel like I had to. That’s not the Britain I came to believe in. If flying the Union Jack & Welsh Flag is now an act of defiance, then maybe it says more about the state of this country than it does about me.

When I was traveling to NC I bought a window seat because I wanted to enjoy the scenery, it was slightly more expensive than a normal seat. When I got boarded, I went to my tow and I looked at my seat and there was a kid sitting there. I was confused because this was the seat I paid for, I had no idea who the kid was and why they were in my seat. A woman came up and handed some snacks to the kid and then sat down at the seat next to the kid and I asked her if they were in the right seat and she said yes. I said the window seat was mine and showed the ticket. She said well her daughter wanted to sit there, I said well if she did you should have paid for it because I did. She asked if I had kids and I said no, and she said well when you do you will appreciate it because things like this will keep them quiet during the flight. Once again I said that’s fine but I paid for this for a reason, you should have planned ahead. I ended up having to get an attendant who made them move, but the woman wasn’t quiet about it she started calling me selfish and what kind of person would take stuff away from a kid. I said the kind of person that paid for the things they feel entitled to. I did end up feeling bad about it later but it wasn’t really my problem, I didn’t want to be emotionally blackmailed because she didn’t want to pay more money for that set. This woman moved seats on her own and was told she would be booted if she didn’t sit in her assigned seat. I’m sure there is a reason behind this, I think I read an article once that said it was due to weight and such. Would you move though? It doesn’t seem like much of a big deal to me.

Bernardo Bertolucci on why 'Novecento' (1976) was very personal to him: "'Novecento' (1976) was a sort of monument to contradiction. I’m not afraid to say it. But it was also a communication with the audience. My earlier movies I didn’t care about the audience. I was much more arrogant before. The movie was a celebration of contradictions, there was a change “from contradiction to dialectic...” The audience doesn’t care about dialectic, about those things. They care about emotion. And in the end it’s the emotion that, God bless, cancels all this stuff. I feel abandoned as if the movie has abandoned me. Not me, the movie. I’ve been with it for four years. That’s long enough to be a marriage. And all that time it was so up and down, up and down. In 'Novecento', I faced my whole life in a way. I faced my adolescence, which is really very near me inside. To go straight ahead we must have a look back behind us. That’s why, when I finished 'Novecento' I got sick, I was sick for months, emotionally sick. Nobody knew. Because to me my adolescence used to be the lost paradise and I created again my adolescence, my childhood in 'Novecento' . And I created a copy of the lost paradise. And I lost it for the second time. Now I have really lost it. To let go of the movie was letting go of my childhood." (Bernardo Bertolucci's interview with Sally Quinn, 1977) P.S: On this day, 50 years ago, Novecento' (1976) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

“Really, ‘cause you never asked what it was like. Waking up in the middle of the night to THAT news. Sitting alone in the dark, trying to keep it together so I don’t scare the crap outta my kid.” I don’t think we’ve talked enough about how sad this was

Blake Edwards on the conditions he laid out before accepting to direct "A Shot in the Dark" (1964): "'A Shot in the Dark' (1964) is nothing like Marcel Archard’s play, that’s for a start. I was asked to save the situation. They had quite a bit of money involved in this project. Peter Sellers was threatening to pull out because he didn’t like the screenplay. He said that the only way he would continue with the project would be if I took it over. I said that the only way I could possibly take it over, under such emergency conditions, would be that I would not be obliged to do anything like Archard’s play because a) I didn’t like it, b) I thought it was not a motion picture and c) I wasn’t ready to make a movie at that point. So they asked me what I wanted to do because the picture had to start in something like four weeks. I said that if they wanted me to save them, I’d have to take something with which I was familiar to begin with. I was familiar with the character of Clouseau. I needed a detective, somebody to solve a murder. I couldn’t throw the whole thing out. I had to use the idea that the maid was accused of killing the chaffeur and this had to be solved. So I thought that Peter Sellers was just the natural thing and that now I was going to try to be as broad with the character as I could be. “How far can I go now in terms of Inspector Clouseau?” I wrote the screenplay and was on the stage in four weeks with it. Fortunately, it turned out to be a reasonably funny movie. It proved something for me—that if a gag is well-designed you can pull it off." (Blake Edwards' interview with Jean-Francois Hauduroy, Cahiers du cinéma, 1966) P.S: On this 62 years ago, "A Shot in the Dark" (1964) premiered in New York City, USA.

In Goodfellas, when Joes Pesci's character Tommy shoots Spider, some of the actors wore earplugs to protect themselves from the gunfire. But Pesci refused - he wanted to hear the full blast of the gun, to immerse himself in the moment. He explains... “It was very hard for me to get as close to killing someone as possible in that scene, because it wasn't a contract killing, and it wasn't somebody that had to be…(it was) a kid. And some of the actors, even Bob (Robert De Niro) - they put earplugs in. But I wanted this feeling, this deafening feeling - I wanted to feel that gun ride and feel like it. And the kid that played Spider (Michael Imperioli) threw himself back so violently at the first shot that he went flying against the bar and cut his hand. They had to take him to the hospital. He cut it on a pitcher that fell. I think everybody in that room, including me, felt like I killed that kid.” Quote comes from the commentary track off the Goodfellas Blu-ray

John Carpenter on how Howard Hawks's "Rio Bravo" (1959) inspired him to become a filmmaker: "As I got older I began to see that certain directors did certain things. One of the earliest examples of this was Roger Corman. I started going to see these exciting, fast, kind of cheesy but really fun monster movies, and there was one name that kept coming up on the screen: Roger Corman. 'It Conquered the World' (1956), 'Not of This Earth' (1957), 'Attack of the Crab Monsters' (1957), 'The Undead' (1957)... But | really understood for the first time what a director did when I saw 'Rio Bravo' in 1959. There was something about that movie that was like home and I can't really explain it. It was held over in Bowling Green for three or four weeks in a row because people kept coming to see it. I abandoned to see what was new in the other movie house in town to see this movie every weekend again and again because there was something in it that was different from the other westerns I had seen. I had certainly seen John Wayne before. He had become a part of my growing-up experience. He was the action guy, the cowboy. He was the guy in 'Flying Tigers' (1942) who was flying the airplanes. So what was so different about that movie? Then I became aware of this credit: “Howard Hawks’ Rio Bravo.” I looked at the poster and I said to myself, “Who is this guy? He didn't write the movie and he wasn't starring in it so why is his name up here? And why is he last in the credits?” All these things started to occur to me, but it was the emotional impact of the film that got me to start using my brain. Some way I figure out that this director made that movie."

🚨| Natalie Pinkham on AD21: "I couldn't explain it to my kids." She speaks on her 'most enduring memory' of that day and maintains that Sir Lewis Hamilton "walked away from that moment with more fans globally than if he'd won an eighth world title because of the way he handled it." : "One of the problems that I had with 2021 personally was I couldn't explain it to my kids, and if I can't explain it to my kids, how can we as broadcasters explain it to the viewers, the public at large? How can anyone really understand it? Not least of all the protagonists, not least of all Lewis, you know." "So I tell you what, for me the most enduring memory of that day was seeing Anthony Hamilton go up and whisper in his son's ear and to this day I've never asked him what he said to his son. I don't want to know because it was such a private moment on a very public stage, but whatever it was, it was enough for Lewis to walk up to Max and shake him by the hand, look him in the eye and I thought, my God, if anything we can take out of this its this incredible moment for children everywhere to see how to deal with adversity and defeat graciously, magnanimously and I still contend to this day that Lewis walked away from that moment with more fans globally than if he'd won an eighth world title because of the way he handled it. It was just incredible." "Yeah, no, and by the way, I didn't want or expect to get drawn into the 2021 thing or take us into it, but I always say as well this wasn't Max's fault, like Max was a deserved winner as well, like you saw some of the performances he put in that season. If you could have split the title in two, both of them were just incredible champions that year and it was a shame that it ended the way it did because actually that overshadowed what was an epic year of racing."

you can’t make this up 😭 My own VOD catching Saint in a lie and when he sees it, he has to say the dumbest thing possible to deflect it 😂 This is actual cinema and this is why he’ll never react to me calling him out properly “Uhh uhh guys this is the level of hypergrifting going on to defend this” He has no real rebuttal, just “hypergrifter” because he was caught and his chat eats it up, because they don’t care about truth, just agenda Bro, you said I was pushing the narrative in my video that I said the ratings was a lie, and it was all because of gacha tribalism. None of that is true in my video, you lied about it. And instead of admitting you lied, you pivot to “well look at your thumbnail, it’s clearly saying that” And the thumbnail is literally just the rating saying “you need to care” ????? The most dishonest CC in gacha.

My take on this is I don’t feel unlicensed teens on E-bikes should be allowed to ride in the streets with oncoming traffic. I see a group of kids blocking the lanes for cars, it was only a matter of time before someone was hurt. These kids were riding in one lane and weaving into another, when this car tried to pass them it looked like one of the riders got too close and tried to swerve and fell. Then the ringleader of the group rides up and damages the car. I think that events like this is why lose drivers despise E-bike riders. The kid filming who damaged the car took down the plate number of the car and wanted them to pay for the damage to the bike that was damaged. I don’t think the car is liable for that. If anything I feel the kids are liable for the damage to the car, who do you feel is at fault here?

"In 'Zodiac' (2007), I wanted the audience to feel like they went through the ringer with these guys,(...) in retrospect you look at it & say maybe audiences who are looking for entertainment on a Friday night don’t want that toll taken on them." --- David Fincher Full Excerpt: "Interviewer: It’s so rare to walk out of a movie and to feel like I know more about a subject than I did walking into it. Watching Zodiac is like the experience of reading a really absorbing non-fiction book, and I know that part of it for you was about honoring the people who were the victims of the Zodiac, but you also have so many details, so many facts, you take it to such a level where there’s so much information… why was that important to you? Fincher: I don’t respect movies that treat me like I don’t have the attention span or mental faculty to follow… it’s one thing to talk about Dave Toschi’s fall from grace in an oblique and generic way. I can answer that question in a couple of different ways. I wanted the movie to take its toll on the audience, I wanted the audience to feel like they went through it, like they went through the ringer with these guys, and I didn’t know how to do that because these guys didn’t run across rooftops and fall off fire escapes. In their quest to bring the Zodiac to justice they followed the trail of breadcrumbs as far as it would take them, and they kept pushing and kept pushing when there were crackpots coming out of the woodwork. I felt like I didn’t want to make one of those movies where you do montage/montage/montage and you get the idea that they went to the mat with this, that it took its toll – I wanted the audience to feel that. You know, in retrospect you look at it and say maybe audiences who are looking for entertainment on a Friday night don’t want that toll taken on them. I felt like anything less than that would be doing the story and people involved a disservice. You could do it as something compressed, where you get the gist of it, and we would have shots of Jake [Gyllenhaal] half asleep and you would have those obligatory shots where the boss says, ‘You look like sh!t.’ And in the end I still don’t feel like you get enough of what happens with his family, we don’t get enough with his wife and kids, but it was all we could do to get it in at under two hours and forty minutes. I feel like we took about as much time as you can really expect an audience to sit still for and we tried to make them feel what it was like to be invested in this circuitous run down the rabbit hole." (David Fincher's interview with Devin Farachi, 2008)

👤i thought that story was really cute…that you kissed each other to catch the flu 👤 this really feels like ‘divorce camp’ (*tv show); how did this come about? 🐰 it was probably right before the debut line up was decided, right? 🦊 yeah 🐰 it was the end of the year and it was a hard time for all the trainees…nobody could sleep or eat…and the flu was really going around at the time so a couple of people got to sit out of it…yeonjun hyung was one of them and i really wanted to sit out of it too because it means you can rest so as a joke, i rubbed against hyung and was like “hyung~ pass your flu onto me~” but the next day, i was shedding tears of blood because i was so sick 👤🤣 “shedding tears of blood” 🐰 it was the first time i got that sick, my body hurt so much, it felt like it would shatter….but the other members…something that made me feel really unfair was that if the other members were like “i feel like i caught the flu”, the dance teacher would be “okay okay, go home and rest” but starting from me, they started stopping us like “leave after you do this! finish this and then go!”…after the dance lesson, i looked like i was about to die so the dance teacher was like “this is not it, you should go home too” so on my way back to the dorm, i was sobbing like crazy because i was so sad like “why didn’t they let me sit it out 😭” because i was so sick…! 👤 so did it pass on to you when you were like “hyung, pass it onto me~” 🐰 probably..i wasn’t in contact with anyone else that got it and i was only like that with yeonjun hyung so i think it probably passed on then

I see this all the time when I am out and about in the winter, the patent is bundled up and the kid isn’t. Sometimes it’s even as bad as the kid is wearing just a t-shirt. If my kid didn’t have a jacket and I was low on funds I would go without before my kid didn’t have a jacket. Worst comes to worst if I had to get one from a thrift store I would do that too, anything for my kid not to go cold like that. This woman was criticized because she refused to spend $35 for a coat for her kid in the winter. She thinks it’s too expensive. Last winter my kid came home from school in a jacket I didn’t buy him. He already has a few really nice and warm jackets that he picked out at the Polo store. But I guess the school had a program that gave new coats to every child. Was I wrong for this? I made him return it because he didn’t need it. I feel like the coat they gave him could have went to a child that actually needed it. He was fine with it because it wasn’t a brand he normally wears anyways. But I think the school should have been more selective about who they gave these coats too. There are kids out there that go without and could benefit, but my kid isn’t one of them. Am I a jerk for that? I feel like he wasn’t going to wear it anyways and I see other kids at his school that didn’t have coats.

Jared Leto’s rendition of The Joker failed to meet the standard set by Jack Nicholson & Heath Ledger. Leto was given this role in large part because he won an Oscar just a few years prior. But he just didn’t live up to expectations & I don’t really enjoy this performance.

Happy 87th birthday, Francis Ford Coppola! Francis Ford Coppola on why "The Conversation" (1974) is his personal favourite from his own movies: "I always liked 'The Conversation' (1974) because it was an original story. I respect and admire writers. Anyone who can write a story is just a magician, as far as I’m concerned. I tend to feel more toward the films I cooked up from nothing. And of my more well-known films I very much feel that way about 'The Godfather II' (1974) —that was almost like an original screenplay because a lot of the story wasn’t in the book and I had to make it up." (Francis Ford Coppola's interview with Steve Wiecking, SeattleMet, 2009) P.S: On this day, 52 years ago, 'The Conversation' (1974) premiered in New York City, USA.

This man was criticized for expecting a “thank you” for a good deed. He always saw the same man walking when he drove to work. He assumed the man was walking because he did not have any other means of transportation. He used his own money and bought the man an electric scooter, the man took the scooter and just silently walked away, no thank you or anything else at all. I don’t think that was too much to ask, a thank you goes a long way, otherwise it makes people look ungrateful. Back in college, I had a classmate that I always saw walking home after class. It didn’t matter whether it was raining or snowing, or hot out. Whenever I drove past him he always looked miserable and I could tell he didn’t like to walk all the time. In class I had asked him where he lived, and I found out it was on my way home so I offered to drop him off because it was really cold out and had snowed about a foot. He agreed and we chatted on the way home, nothing serious just pleasant conversation. I dropped him off and went on my way home. For me this was a one time thing, I only offered because how bad it was snowing. After class the next day, he walked with me and when I got to my car he got in. I didn’t agree or offer him a ride that day but he assumed that since I was ok with giving him a ride the day prior that I would be ok with it this day too. I didn’t say anything about it because at this point I didn’t care really. So the next day came and went, once again he walked with me to the car but that day was different. I wouldn’t be going his way because I had to work after class. So before I got to the car I said “I’ll see you tomorrow.” He looked dumbfounded and said aren’t you taking me home? I said no, I have to get to work. He then asked me how he would get home, and I told him the same way you always have. He then gave me excuses for why I was being a jerk because I was making him walk in the cold. I didn’t argue I just told him I helped him out when I could, but I wasn’t about to go out of my way because he didn’t have a car and besides I didn’t want to be late for work. He didn’t speak to me for the rest of the semester because of it, something tells me I was better off not offering to help in the first place.

Jack Nicholson explains how Martin Scorsese & he built his character in "The Departed" (2006) & how he scared the sh!t out of Leonardo Di Caprio in this scene: "I actually turned the movie down the first time it came to me. because the character didn’t really exist. But Leo (DiCaprio) and Marty talked me into it. I guess you can say I was attracted to the company. Marty is very free with his ideas. and very receptive to yours. We built this character layer by layer, until we had something that fit inside a great genre film, but also pushed the envelope until the movie becomes almost operatic. There’s a scene in a bar where I’m scaring the sh!t out of Leo’s character with a gun. There wasn’t any gun in the script. We had shot the scene the night before but Marty said he had a light schedule the next day and wanted to try a few more takes. I wanted to come up with something different, so I asked the prop master to hide a gun on the set, and to bring a fire extinguisher as well. The look on his face when I asked for that fire extinguisher was priceless." ("Jack Nicholson, ‘The Departed’", Steven Kotler, Variety, 2007) P.S: Happy 89th Birthday, Jack Nicholson!
