Edward Hopper, Hotel Lobby, 1943.
Modern loneliness?
Hopper made ten studies before settling on the final scene. In the sketches, the older couple were talking. In the painting, the silence says it all.
Three strangers sharing a room, each lost in their own world.

“Do you feel in charge?”
Tom Hardy makes Bane terrifying in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (2012) without raising his voice or throwing a punch.
What are the greatest “you have absolutely no idea who you’re messing with” scenes in movie history?
When some arrogant punk picks a fight with the wrong person and realizes far too late that they’re completely out of their depth.
The bar fight in JACK REACHER and the biker bar scene in TERMINATOR 2 are perfect examples.
What other scenes belong on this list?

Sylvester Stallone’s crowning achievement will always be the script for the first Rocky, a film that’s now officially 50 years old. The lore behind this film & Stallone is real & nor exaggerated - Stallone went to hell & back to make this movie. It’s a piece of Cinema history. Not to mention a winner of the Oscar for Best Picture.

في رواية «الجريمة والعقاب» يقول فيودور دوستويفسكي:
«ينبغي أن يكون لكل إنسان مكانٌ يستطيع الذهاب إليه، لأنّ الإنسان تمر به لحظات، لا مناص له فيها من الذهاب إلى مكان ما ، إلى أيّ مكان ."
ثمة لحظات يعجز فيها الإنسان عن مواجهة العالم، ولا يحتاج فيها إلى حلول أو نصائح، بل إلى وجهةٍ يعرف أنه مرحّب به فيها، حيث لا يضطر إلى شرح ما يشعر به، ولا يخشى أن يُساء فهمه. مكان يشعر فيه بالطمأنينة حين تضيق به الحياة.

Está escena de El Padrino Parte II (1974) duele y mucho...
Falleció John Cazale en 1978, James Caan en 2022 y Robert Duvall en 2026...

Un día como hoy hace 25 años se estrenaba Mulholland Drive (2001)
La distancia entre la vida que soñamos y la realidad que nos toca vivir.
David Lynch no te da todas las respuestas, sino que te obliga a sentirla.
Una película que se queda contigo para siempre.

The Insider is a film I’m again imploring you to watch if you haven’t yet. This film should be a household title for everyone my generation and younger: it’s relevant, incredibly well-made, and the perfect demonstration of Michael Mann’s brilliance. I will write about this movie for eternity.
