Imagine being mad you didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize while you’re busy stirring up Civil War in your own country.

Speaking of film formats, I recently published an article on Pola-Lite, a largely unnoticed and under-researched single-strip 3-D format, in Film Atlas, an encyclopedia of every film format ever.

I had a blast researching this. It has everything! Monsters, Douglas Sirk, questionable origin stories!

"Playtime is astounding, but to think back to Jour de Fête is to trace the arc of a man who began as a Brueghel and wound up as a Mondrian."
- Anthony Lane on Jacques Tati

Bon anniversaire, Jacques Tati! Born in 1907, few other filmmakers ever met Tati’s talent.

1967’s Playtime remains one one of the funniest films ever made. Equal parts clowning and critique of modern consumer culture, it’s an earnest reminder to take joy in the act of living itself.

Thanks to Tony Shalhoub and his wife Brooke Adams (Also an amazing actor) for attending Hend Ayoub's one person show "Home?" last night in NYC. Tony has been amazingly supportive of the Arab American arts community and the NY Arab American Comedy Festival!

Tony Shalhoub loves bread, and he thinks it can get you 'out of your own sphere'

'Breaking Bread,' the actor's new CNN travel show, is centered on the food staple, but it also uncovers stories about how bread relates to migration, labor and his own family history.

He doesn't just understand the assignments; he redefines them.
