Got pull quoted for this excellent doc that finally helped me understand the history of Spanish cinema and how Franco’s dictatorship influenced it.

DENIS VILLENEUVE: Dune is a work about the cost of power, about messiahs, about empire. Of course we cannot consult Frank Herbert today, but I believe he would have approved.

I think if you're going to do a whole new cut, you might as well go back and do it right. I know Lionsgate was completely behind that on the 4K, but he chose not to do that. My hope this is the definitive version of the film and he puts in the work. It's not like LOTR, where its impossible.

So grateful to be in the same room as the iconic Meiko Kaji for tonight’s “Lady Snowblood” screening. Thanks to Beyond Fest for making this happen and to Jen Yamato for asking her to sing “Shura no Hana” (Flower of Carnage) which was unbelievably beautiful to witness.

Meiko Kaji blessing @BeyondFest AND THEN performing the theme song from LADY SNOWBLOOD - just wow. That’s an incredible experience.

I think it was originally supposed to come out this month in the US and then the bad buzz out of Cannes killed it. But I don’t care, I still want to see it.

It’s weird how Julia Ducournau’s ALPHA has seemingly vanished from US markets.

Everyday I’m checking the @AMCTheatres app to see if the Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc tickets have dropped. #chainsawman
