I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
Francis Ford Coppola when Razzie awarded him "Worst director" for Megalopolis (2024):
“I am thrilled to accept the Razzie award in so many important categories for @/megalopolisfilm, and for the distinctive honor of being nominated as the worst director, worst screenplay, and worst picture at a time when so few have the courage to go against the prevailing trends of contemporary moviemaking!
In this wreck of a world today, where ART is given scores as if it were professional wrestling, I chose to NOT follow the gutless rules laid down by an industry so terrified of risk that despite the enormous pool of young talent at its disposal, may not create pictures that will be relevant and alive 50 years from now.
What an honor to stand alongside a great and courageous filmmaker like Jacques Tati who impoverished himself completely to make one of cinema's most beloved failures, PLAYTIME! My sincere thanks to all my brilliant colleagues who joined me to make our work of art, MEGALOPOLIS, and let us remind ourselves us that box-office is only about money, and like war, stupidity and politics has no true place in our future.”

I have noticed this as well and is one of the many reasons my love for Hollywood has died.

Our thoughts are with the friends and family of actor and filmmaker, Robert Redford.
A luminary with an eye for storytelling and a heart for the people who loved him, Redford's prolific contributions to the arts across mediums will continue to illuminate generations to come.

Gene Hackman has passed away at the age of 95.
Gene was one of the greatest actors of his, or anyone's generation. He was a powerhouse, as adept at comedy as he was drama. Today is a very sad day, we've lost a legend. Gene was a giant of cinema.

Oh you thought things are weird right now? They can get weirder...
It begins as a comedy/drama, then effortlessly slides into fantasy and sci-fi without so much as batting a crooked eyelash in transition. And somehow, throughout it all, it manages to teach you a bit about loss and grief.

Let’s remember David Lynch, explaining on why he told stories the way he did.
"The Paragon is one of those movies that absolutely should not work, but through brisk storytelling and dry awareness of its own silliness, unbelievably does."
