All Hitchcocks make the cut, but that one was such a huge hit that I omitted it to focus on the really off-the-chart work. Re-see When a Stranger Calls, Dan -...
... I hesitate to try to speak for John Carpenter, but I think that his take was that the theme is repression, that Michael Myers is the ultimate case of...
... Howdy, Joe. I don't mean to imply that my little idea has to do with the thematic structure of any horror film, much less all of them. I do think that it...
What I want to know is who licensed the footage from THE DAY THE CLOWN CRIED to Lifetime for their Lewis special? Where did that shit come from and where can I...
... CLOWN ... What was the name of the program? If it comes on again I'd like to tape it. Was it the same one that just aired on E! ? Probably not, since...
Sorry that this is Chicago-centric but series like these are rare nowadays and I thought it would be worth mentioning: Marty Rubin at Chicago's Film Center has...
... Perhaps for this group we ought to distinguish between an auterist's approach - John Carpenter (I think most people here would classify him as one) and a...
... auterist's ... One of my big problems with HALLOWEEN is that, unlike the other Carpenter stuff I like/love, I don't feel the director has anything else on...
... HELL'S HEROES is good, actually. Opinions vary greatly on Wyler - mine is that he's sort of stodgy after, say, 1936, but that his early period is worth...
... That's my take on him, too. If I had to do the recent Wyler series over again, I would have skipped THE LITTLE FOXES and (gah) BEN-HUR in favor of more...
... I also think of a number of sequences in "Summer of '42": Dorothy saying good-bye to her husband on the dock by the water, for example. ... This is a...

... BOY? It's absolutely genius! This is like 10 minutes long but if anyone wants to see it I'll run off a tape (when I get my VCRs back from Rochester). Lewis...
I think Kubrick wanted to cast Lewis in the Shelley Duvall role, Jaime. Like the scene when Jack is chopping through the door and Duvall has her head pressed...

First of all, let me introduce myself to those of you who don't know me. I'm Damien Bona and I first heard of this site from Zach, with whom I've friends for...
... I guess my favorite is DODSWORTH, but I saw a real sleeper during the Wyler fest: HER FIRST MATE, a lowly Slim Summerville comedy that was several notches...
Greg used to say that the fact that Bazin chose Wyler as his main example proved that his theories were wrong. One more piece of Jerriana: That's Life. The...
... That was a lovely moment. In regards to Kubrick, I assume people are familiar with the story about the night SK stopped by Lewis's editing suites, around...
I agree with Bill's useful distinction between "home-made" and "hand-made." I think Rosenbaum coined the "home-made" term specifically in reference to a few...
