I envision this just becoming the empty pool bed full of skeletons from Poltergeist

Love this!

There’s a special symmetry to this anniversary event with the original cast of YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES. The film is 40 years old and Bruce Broughton is 80 years young. The cast received a lovely video message from Bruce congratulating them and José (Quartet Records) sent 💿. The score is a true classic

Cover for "First Blood" by artist Drew Struzan featuring Sylvester Stallone as John Rambo. The music is by Oscar winner Jerry Goldsmith.

"First Blood" opened 43 years ago today. Earlier this year, Mike Matessino and I restored Jerry Goldsmith's score for a new 2-CD release from Intrada. It's available here: store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id...

Jane Goodall, famed primatologist and conservationist, has died at 91. A statement released by the Jane Goodall Institute reads, "Dr. Goodall's discoveries as an ethologist revolutionized science, and she was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural world."

Amazing Stories Title Card

40 years ago today, Amazing Stories premiered on NBC. Created by Steven Spielberg, it lasted just two magical seasons and had 45 episodes. I still re-watch several episodes every year.

So good!

My good friend Jared Rivet was on Jump Scare Rewind talking about ALTERED STATES! This is really great - check it out!

YouTube video by Jimmy Kimmel Live Jimmy Kimmel is Back!

As I was saying…

🎺 🎺 🎺 🎶

Thunderball Sunday

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

Beyond cancelling Kimmel's show are about 200 writers and crew members in LA who just lost their full time gig.

I’m getting push back at CVS here in CA surprisingly.

In 1988, Sundance’s Tom Wilhite warned many classic scores were missing or unplayable. Robert Redford backed a preservation drive led by David Newman, highlighted by a 90-piece concert at Royce Hall with composers, stars, and clips. What should be saved next? #Cinema #Preservation

I’ll be talking about DOCTOR WHO on this panel with some friends at LA Comic Con, Saturday, 11:30 am Room 308AB. Come check it out if you’re there!

What’s it going to take?

I think about this every damn day

#NowSpinning Debussy Pour Le Piano, with Steven Osborne. I have an immediate impression of serious technique here. And lightness of touch - so delicate - when needed.

Jonathan Kaplan, Director of ‘The Accused’ and ‘ER,’ Dies at 77 The nephew of Van Heflin also helmed ‘Love Field,’ ‘Truck Turner,’ ‘Over the Edge,’ ‘Bad Girls,’ ‘Immediate Family’ and other admired films.

RIP Jonathan Kaplan.

I knew Jonathan since the late 60s. No finer filmmaker, no better friend.

His cancer battle was finally lost Friday morning. His many friends and colleagues will remember him fondly.
