Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

"The canine star of Mon Oncle is Dackie, the Arpels' sausage-dog. His owner, Tati's friend Borrah Minevich, died suddenly shortly after filming began. Dackie went to another friend, Jean-Jacques Broïdo. A direct descendant of Dackie still lives in the Broïdo household in Geneva."
- David Bellos

Dackie, wearing a plaid sweater, stands outside the family garage. His owners (Jean-Pierre Zola & Adrienne Servantie as M. & Mme. Arpel) look at him through porthole windows in the garage door.

You've probably seen LAURA (8pm), which is, of course, titanic. You will not regret taking the time to watch DAISY KENYON (9:45).

BEAT THE DEVIL is a mess, but it's probably the funniest mess—the screwball classic—of all time. It kidded itself, yet it succeeded in some original (and perhaps dangerously marginal) way by finding a style of its own. (1967)

Kept shouting at the screen, “Peter Capaldi is SO YOUNG!” and I’m sure it wasn’t the least annoying. #LocalHero #TCMParty

Schlepped to Chicago to see Caillebotte at the @artinstitutechi.bsky.social and it was totally worth it.

I like Criterion’s Hong Kong Action Classics/John Woo series as a horror alternative.

John Woo talking about Melville, Alain Delon and Chow Yun-fat. My life is now complete. www.nytimes.com/2023/12/01/m...

Screenshot from a NYT interview with director John Woo:

You had made over a dozen movies in Hong Kong before your breakthrough, "A Better Tomorrow," the 1986 gangster film starring Chow Yun-fat. Why was that such a hit?

I really wanted to make a movie like Jean-Pierre Melville's "Le Samourai," starring Alain Delon. When I started ["A Better Tomorrow"] the script was so weak. [The filmmaker and producer] Tsui Hark said, "John, how about you put your own dialogue into the movie?" So I rewrite the whole script and made Chow Yun-fat's character look like Alain Delon, like Cary Grant. "A Better Tomorrow" was my first auteur movie.
