Nobody mentioning Looking For Mr Goodbar on these tributes. Never gets shown anywhere. It was a v brave and bleak film and it divided opinion but once seen never forgotten. And it was the first film to give disco nocturnal danger and edge.

HEAVEN is a gem. Just a weird, casual inquiry into various ideas of the afterlife. And it's on Tubi right now!

Heaven (1987)

In Diane Keaton's directorial debut, she analyzes how Hollywood has portrayed the afterlife through a series of clips, interviews, and more.

Along with directing an episode of TWIN PEAKS, Diane Keaton also directed four movies (one doc, three features).

I’ve only seen two: HANGING UP and WILDFLOWER. They’re both flawed but interesting and make me wish she’s directed more films. I gotta track down the other two.

Every once in a while, something will happen to reveal just how many classic film fans have major issues. That “Academy museum is WOKE” piece is one such event.

I realized very quickly that some old movie fans are there because they LIKE the retrograde attitudes. Not all. Nowhere near all. But some
