Thinking of so many of our dearest family members, friends, community members, colleagues, and the entire city of Los Angeles today. What we lost one year ago is unfathomable, what we have is each other.

Diane Keaton was always a genre unto herself. On and off screen, she was effortlessly funny, achingly honest, and unafraid to mirror back to us what it means to be human in an impossible world. We love you, Diane, and we’ll celebrate you on our big screen and in our video store til the end of time.

Why Restoring Cult Movies Is A Public Service, According To Legendary Horror Director Joe Dante [Exclusive] - SlashFilm Joe Dante, the filmmaker behind movies like Gremlins, Piranha, The Howling, and The 'Burbs, has strong feelings about the restoration of cult films.

I got a chance to chat with @bjcolangelo.bsky.social of @slashfilm.bsky.social during @screamfactory.bsky.social's special Piranha screening at @vidiots.bsky.social last week about cult cinema restoration & preservation!
