So good in so many incredible films. From ANNIE HALL to REDS to LOOKING FOR MR GOODBAR to MANHATTAN MURDER MYSTERY to THE GODFATHER but if u want my fav Diane Keaton perf it's her astonishing work in Alan Parker's heartbreaker SHOOT THE MOON. Seek it out. RIP DK

I've thought a lot about the scene in A Clockwork Orange where Alex finds out that the droogs he used to rampage with are now policemen

My friend Jane Levy is so great in A LITTLE PRAYER opening today in NY/LA. Check it out if you can, it's regional filmmaking at its best, made with love with an exceptional cast

This was an EXTREMELY fun podcast to do. Bret & I go deep on films of 1982, & talk about my doc FILM GEEK (finally streaming on HBOMAX). Though raised in different parts of the country, we share a near identical cinematic obsessiveness & it was a blast to connect on that deep level

Brian De Palma's DRESSED TO KILL-- one of my favorite movies I saw as teenager (& saw being filmed!) is one of 200 movies featured in my personal doc FILM GEEK -which after runs at American Cinematheque in LA & Film Forum in NY is now streaming on HBOMAX. Perfect July 4th long weekend viewing!

A page from the book JAWS, with most of the text crossed out in blue pen by an overzealous mother

A page from the book JAWS, with most of the text crossed out in blue pen by an overzealous mother

In the late '70s I bought a copy of JAWS for 25 cents at a yard sale. I couldn't have been older than 8 (and may have been younger) so my mother insisted that she read the book first. When I got it back, this is what it looked like.

This July 4th, remember to FIGHT CENSORSHIP!

This is a lovely essay film, valentine to cinema, NYC document, all the good things that I love and you probably do too.

Give it a watch over the holiday - and while you're at it, check out Richard talking to us about it on his excellent episode of A VERY GOOD YEAR. pod.link/1651111139/e...

Terrific film, especially for New Yorkers and film fans of a certain age. Don't miss out.

Amazing to have our Emmy Nominated 2009 HBO doc I KNEW IT WAS YOU: REDISCOVERING JOHN CAZALE play at Film Forum in NYC as part of their Cazale Fest. And always great to be celebrating with my amazing friend and producer Stacey Reiss-- FYI it's screening again Sat/Sun afternoons and I'll be there!!
