The Leopard is the freaking best. They played the restoration at the IFC a few months back and it was glorious.
I love that the Lancaster’s lips match the subtitles, since he performed in English and they had to dub him in Italian. Even with that, it’s an amazing performance
No he really claimed that throughout his life he would see aliens and UFOs. Like he’d be talking to someone and a little alien man would jump out from behind them.
Had a similar ring tone at an early job and it was *a problem*for me, lol. I already hated ringing phones anyway but it's really didn't help. No one else was familiar with it either, ugh
Look, Peacock now has all episodes of "Homicide: Life on the Streets" available. I was devoted to that show first run and re-watched the first episode and damn, if it didn't put to shame 95 percent of current television, even some episodes Simon's other procedural, "The Wire."
I moved to Baltimore a decade after. That police station on the set, the one in the harbor, was called City Pier and was just outside the door of my favorite bar (Slainté). I'd see it and think of the show.
Mr. Kotto was so perfect as Alonzo Mosley in Midnight Run. His sense of comedy was spot on. His timing made him a master of the slow burn. He was a presence in everything he did.
jamelle i meant to ask have you ever done a podcast on in the heat of the night and if not maybe you could if it catches your fancy, i am not your boss. but i would love to hear that.
Besides Across 110th Street, Live and Let Die and Alien, which are all-time classics, he pretty much owns Midnight Run because he plays Special Agent Alonzo Mosely absolutely deadpan — like the actor’s textbook *definition* of deadpan.
But maybe I should stop yapping and read your interview first!

Now it's a luxury hotel, dammit.
My brother and a friend who was studying at Hopkins. December 2000. Digital cameras are slightly better now.
Do you still live in Baltimore? Orioles fan?
