  1. The Onion’s Guide To The Oscars

     

    "This year's crop of Oscars nominees represent the singular power of cinema to transport viewers into worlds as far-flung as fantasy African kingdoms and British palaces, demonstrating the magical ability of movies to distract viewers from their inexorable march towards the grave. Before you enjoy the glitz and glamor of Hollywood's most important night, join America's Finest News Sources to survey the artists behind these fitful diversions from human frailty and bodily collapse.......

  2. A NIGHT AT THE GARDEN, nominated for the 91st Academy Awards for Best Documentary Short

    "In 1939, 20,000 Americans rallied in New York's Madison Square Garden to celebrate the rise of Nazism -- an event largely forgotten from U.S. history. A NIGHT AT THE GARDEN, made entirely from archival footage filmed that night, transports audiences to this chilling gathering and shines a light on the power of demagoguery and anti-Semitism in the United States. "

    Directed by Marshall Curry

    Bruno Ganz, the melancholy Swiss film actor who played an angel longing for the visceral joys of mortality in “Wings of Desire” and a defeated Hitler with trembling hands facing his own mortality in “Downfall,” died at his home in Zurich

    One of the finest & most subtle actors I’ve ever seen, full of humanity even when playing a man devoid of it.

  4. Velvet Buzzsaw Is Pure, Absurd, Soulless Fun

    The director of Nightcrawler reunites with Jake Gyllenhaal and Rene Russo for a gleefully gory parody of the fine-art world.

     

    "....... Gilroy’s new movie reunites the director with his Nightcrawler stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Russo. This time, they’re all making fun of the preening art scene, ......

    In Velvet Buzzsaw, art and commerce aren’t merely intertwined; they’re feeding off each other in unpredictable, dismaying ways. Could it be that Gilroy has a few complaints about the state of his own industry? Swap out some of the characters’ jobs, and Velvet Buzzsaw could really be parodying any creative field, where the debut of new work made without industry interference and with unbridled passion is seen as potentially paradigm-shifting. Morf, who has grown bored of installations that feature talking robots and humming metal spheres, is inspired to investigate the primal nature of Dease’s paintings; he quickly discovers a dark history that distresses him but that only further jacks up the prices. ........

    In the end, Velvet Buzzsaw is a pretty soulless piece of art about the soullessness of art; but that doesn’t mean it can’t have a little fun proving its point.

    Please, Brad. Your first film?

    Charles Chaplin, Fritz Lang, Preston Sturges. James Whale and Vittorio De Sica gave us film classics

    but they were never Best Director Oscar nominees.

     

    Nor were Barbra Streisand and Penny Marshall.

    Each woman directed a Best Picture Oscar nominee.

    As pointed out by TikiSoo in the February schedule thread, the scheduled premiere of The Madness of King George (1994) on Feb. 9 has been replaced with Calamity Jane (1953) (not a premiere).

    The sad list of February premieres that I posted previously has been updated.

    Was it just me, or looking at first glance on the TCM schedule for April, aside from a retrospective new special about Private Screenings and a few Saturday morning cartoons and possibly the Saga of Gosta Berling,

    the month was completely devoid of premieres?

    Geez, are they getting cheap, lazy or just complacent??

    (so what's happening to all the $$ from the wine club, Backlot, festivals and Fathom showings??)

    :wacko:

     

    - wonder how long THIS post will last?  ;)

    ===========================

    was disappointed in his rather 'chintzy' remarks for a supposed FAV film  <_<

    (maybe ran out of time, having to plug the latest TNT/Chris Pine series......?)
