Alan Cerny

Watched THE TERMINATOR, been a few years. James Cameron always was a master of pacing and raising stakes. While he still can, I miss the punk rock director who made this. You can’t be a punk forever, just not how it works. Everyone puts on the suit eventually. It’s all in how you wear it.

Movie theaters forever.

Christmas time. Watching ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE.

I’m not sure.

I will say that whenever Shakespeare left Agnes with the kids to go do his plays I imagined he was saying, “Lady, you’re just too much drama for me. I’m going to go to London and boink Gwyneth Paltrow.”

HAMNET: I see why some critics don’t like this one. It’s a build-up to the last 30 minutes which are incredibly emotional. It skirts the line of being over-the-top and it’s a fragile balance. Buckley, Mescal, and especially Jacobi Jupe are remarkable; Jupe gives an all-timer child performance.

Utter masterpiece.

KILL BILL: THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR - at the time I liked the reveal at the end of Part 1. But I have to admit that the movie plays so much better when we don’t know BB’s still alive. When the Bride finds out, it’s devastating to us as well.

How Uma Thurman didn’t get an Oscar I’ll never understand.

Mostly I just miss that time. It really felt like a shared community of cool. I can’t dispel that.

Intermission at KILL BILL: THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR. It rules so hard. I’m feeling a deep nostalgia for that time in my life, with my AICN friends, how it felt like the world was making art for us alone, and I miss that time, even though I am happy the world changed for the better. It’s complicated.

Matthew Lillard story: He directed a movie called FAT KID RULES THE WORLD (if you find the DVD I’m quoted on it!), a fantastic coming-of-age movie I saw at SXSW. Adored it, and I told him so at the Q&A. He smiled so wide. “I love you, dude.” Felt great. Great guy.

QT says stupid shit. Always has.

Tonight - KILL BILL: THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR.

QT may say dumb shit, but he’s been saying dumb shit since PULP FICTION.

Know what else he’s been doing for decades? Oh yeah, MAKING BANGER MOVIES.

When we talk about physical media, we are often only taking about personal collections but a big part of shunning the current digital ecosystem is supporting your local library. Not just for print books and periodicals but for movies, games and other medias too. Get. A. Library. Card.

More like WHITE HOUSE DOWN, heh

KILLED IT

The irony is The Landlord's Game was created by Lizzie Magie specifically to show the evils of real estate and property ownership. Charles Darrow stole it and sold it to Parker Bros, both cutting Magie out and proving her fucking point.

The problem is Parker Brothers made a game that showed us the horrors of unrestricted capitalism and the people who played it celebrated crushing everyone else in the room. Biggest “Wait, not like that” in history.

Felt a lot of love tonight. Forever thankful.

MAKE MOVIES WITH FRIENDS

SONG SUNG BLUE: Your mom’s going to love it. Bring tissues. I liked it!

Houston! I have your Sunday evening plans set- come hang with me at the River Oaks Theater for a screening of THE RULES OF ATTRACTION.

I'll be moderating a Q&A with actor Shannyn Sossamon!

Sing “Come On Up To The House” and make the most of it.

They emphasized that it’s before A NEW HOPE was added. I’m hopeful.

I genuinely thought the original 1977 version of STAR WARS would never return. I’ll take the good news as it comes.

Exciting news in an otherwise shit time. www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...
