You touch me he dies. If you’re not in the air in thirty seconds, he dies. You come back in, he dies.

Denis Villeneuve is rightly famous for his science fiction films, Arrival, Bladerunner 2049 and Dune, but his earlier films are just as impressive.

Some of these foreign reviews on Amazon are so confusing.

My followers will know I am a HUGE Dua Lipa fan and have subscribed to Dua Lipa magazine for nearly two decades. So imagine my surprise when this month's edition of Dua Lipa magazine arrived on my doorstep and I found there wasn't a single reference to Dua Lipa in its pages. VERY disappointing.

Bowie noted how director Nagisa Ōshima would give an incredible amount of direction to his Japanese actors, but when directing him or Tom Conti, he would say "Please do whatever it is you people do."

Who'd have thought something called Titanium Dioxide could possibly be bad for us? Doesn't it grow in the ground like carrots?

Remembering Chantal Akerman on what would have been her seventy-fifth birthday. Akerman directed Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, voted the greatest film of all time in Sight & Sound magazine's 2022 poll, narrowly defeating Condorman. I requested a recount but it was denied.

Watched this last night for the first time in years and wondered, as Kieślowski was Polish, if there are any of those extraordinary film posters for it. There are.

Look how delighted this beautiful woman is to be using the DPD delivery app. She's having the time of her life! I don't doubt for a moment that her happiness is reflective of the general experience of the DPD delivery app but of course it's nice to see it captured on her beautiful face.

The film opened at Oxford Street's Cinephone cinema and had a disturbing reaction. Many audience members claimed the film made them ill, others demanded their money back, while some just stumbled out of the cinema ranting "it's disgusting". archive.org/details/1963...

Saw this indescribable relic of 80s independent cinema at The Garden Cinema last night. A seven-year obsession from Baltimore resident and filmmaker John Huckert, it's unlike anything I've ever seen. Thanks to Video Bazaar for arranging the screening.

Rewatched On the Waterfront last night and was astonished to learn this morning that Eva Marie Saint is still alive! 100 years old and still going strong.

If you've ever seen an Italian poliziotteschi film from the 1970s, you'll know that at some point, someone, somewhere is going to drink some J&B. Well I've just watched this one and been introduced to 100 Pipers, a bottle of which is in the background of practically every scene.

It wasn't until today that I learnt Alejandro Jodorowsky funded his 1970 acid Western El Topo by accepting a role in Disney's The Black Hole.

Further evidence, if it were ever needed, that Philip Seymour Hoffman was one of the great actors of the modern era, and that nobody embodied crumpled charm better than him.

Just a quick word about Alejandro Jodorowsky's planned film of Dune - designed by Moebius and Giger with music by Pink Floyd and starring Salvador Dali and Orson Welles. Obviously nothing this incredible could ever actually have been made because it would have caused the immediate end of cinema.
