The passing of Gene Hackman made me interested in the actor again, and then I saw that he made a movie with Tony Scott, from Jerry Bruckheimer about surveillance. Recent fascination of mine with Michael Bay and stuff related to him, like the fact that a lot of the style of Bay came almost directly from Tony Scott. And the fact that Bay worked wit...

An excellent series that is worth your time and patience.
The characters are real and believable, the cultural setting sufficiently resptful as well as acknowledging how bonkers Japanese TV can be, and more than enough surprises about crime and technology.
I would have liked more reveal of Suzie Sakamoto’s past, however.
Still, far more good than bad here.
Highly recommended.

Tonight’s movie is the Norwegian disaster flick “The Quake” the sequel to “The Wave”. This one’s a little slow to get going but once it does, it’s a thrill ride. They should make more of these. Subject Kristian and his family to every disaster. Meteor hit, volcano, tornado, hurricane, alien invasion!
Where the Sidewalk Ends (1950)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_the_Sidewalk_Ends_(film)
The stars look about as realistic as the little figures on top of a wedding cake.
NB: where the sidewalk ends, your lettering may spill over a bit into the gutter. Plan ahead accordingly.
Tomorrow is #Comedon day, and we'll be watching Preston Sturges's 1941 satire Sullivan's Travels.
As previously described in the paper handouts you received at orientation (you did attend orientation, right?) last week's film, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, took its title from the Sturges movie.
Sturges was the first Hollywood screenwriter to successfully transition to directing and the first person to get the "written and directed by" credit. His screwball comedies are legendary and every single one of them skewers social and class assumptions of their day.
CW: It's from 1941 so odds of some outdated views or language are good.
The watch party starts Thursday April 3 at 6:00 PM PT.

#OnThisDay, April 2, 1961, in London, children’s book author PL Travers and her agent Diarmund Russell discussed granting film rights of her Mary Poppins stories to Walt Disney (depicted in Saving Mr. Banks, 2013)
#ICC25: Was 1985 the Greatest Year in #Movies (with Riwo)?
#Podcaster CatBusRuss & #Filmmaker Leah Leach try to answer that question at #IndianaComicCon. Is the love for the year’s #cinema based solely on the #VHS market? Did they misread the 1982 as 1985?

I Dig Crazy Flicks: Ninety For Chill
The horror-comedy that stars Nicolas Cage as Dracula as he faces off with a relatable Nicholas Hoult. If you cannot make it to group therapy, this can fill that role.
LA FILLE DE SON PÈRE - Erwan Le Duc (2023) ★

Décalé et parfois creux au point d'avoir eu un strabisme cinéphilique qui confirme combien je ne sais pas où ce film a voulu me mener. Ennui.
James Gunn's "Slither" - A Cronenbergian Successor to "Gremlins"
Maybe a successor to “Re-Animator”. The film deserves that level of respect & cult following. I’ll always prefer horror that is ready to take the piss out of itself.

Today, April 2, in 1944, a man with amnesia checks into a hotel under the name “John Brown”. Psychoanalyst Dr. Constance Petersen follows to help recover his memory (Spellbound, 1945, dir. Alfred Hitchcock).
