My honest to goodness favorite part of Rope is the incredibly detailed New York backdrop behind the window that gradually goes from day to night.

That scene where the guy is, like, "excuse me, ma'am, but I really need to back out, could you please move" kept me up at night.

Is it her own yard or someone else's? Someone else's would be super scary.

Goddess. Cutup. Role model. Fashion original. And a fine filmmaker too. She directed “Unstrung Heroes” 30 years ago. R.I.P. 💔

I decided to have a nostalgia hit this morning and watch an episode of Ultraman (episode 23, My Home is Earth) and quickly realized it had more interesting shot setups and lighting than almost any studio movie of today.

The actor performing the part in the screenplay was surprisingly emotional.

It has now been over 8 years since my seminal TCM article on The Hound that Thought He was a Raccoon. When is the Nobel Literature committee going to recognize me?

This entire scene is shot from the pov of the mail slots in the room. When Akiko joins him, the camera slowly zooms in to bring them closer together in frame.

Cue awkward comment by clueless troll stating something obvious like, "Nicholson won Best Actor for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."

When you're building a channel, it's definitely reassuring to have new viewers watch the older stuff as well. Also, sharing the videos they watch. That's always encouraging too.
