Colonel Brandon once brought Marianne sheet music. I bring you a new post in honour of Jane Austen’s 250th. I look into SENSE AND SENSIBILITY (1995), its revealing DVD commentaries, its unexpected links to old Hollywood 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.
Diane Keaton, Meg Ryan, and Lisa Kudrow in Keaton’s HANGING UP Patricia Arquette in Keaton’s WILDFLOWER

Another favorite of Diane Keaton’s more recent films is MORNING GLORY (2010). She’s not in it as much as I’d like her to be, but it gave us a wonderful old-style banter with Harrison Ford. Love it.

The primary source of my love for Diane Keaton comes from BABY BOOM (1987). As the daughter of a single mum, its final scene always gets me. She starred in more iconic films, but her J.C. Wiatt will always be my favorite. For her incredible work and presence, I'm so grateful, and heartbroken today.

Jane Goodall's work insisting, with evidence from her brilliant and tenacious fieldwork, that we were not so separate from animals, and they were much more like us than the Eurocentric theorists asserted, was so important.

Another highly rewarding video for me to make was the one on the trailblazing Silent Serial Queens like Helen Gibson, Ruth Roland, Pearl White, and other cliff-hanging heroines who defined early action cinema but eventually faded from the screen. #SilentMovieDay

Three years ago I explored Buster Keaton’s unique vision on love and the lessons I got from his films. Still one of my favorite videos to have worked on.

One of the most devastating scenes in #filmnoir and in my opinion, film in general. Thelma plays this to utter perfection. #FilmNoirClub

Sad to hear of Pat Crowley’s passing. For fellow melodrama fans, I recommend Sirk’s THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW (1956), which I covered on my channel. A sharp look at the cracks in the “happy family,” with Crowley giving one of my favorite performances in the film.

He will, and should, be remembered for so many contributions. In a little corner of my mind, I’ll always see him tapping and singing, bare-chested, along to Singin’ in the Rain, just like he did in Ivan Reitman's LEGAL EAGLES (1986). Thank you for everything, Mr. Redford.

Regency streets! Jane’s big day out.
Bath hasn't seen so many people in Regency dress since - well, since Regency times. Two thousand people were the official number of Jane Austen fans taking part in the annual Jane Austen Festival Promenade through the central streets of the city. This year's event doubled in number to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of this Regency novelist who lived in Bath for a time and wrote about the city and its social life in her novels.
