"In celebration of what would have been his hundredth birthday, the Criterion Channel is currently featuring an extensive series of films by maverick auteur Robert Altman, who became so renowned in the 1970s that the term “Altmanesque” got bandied about regularly among critics and cinephiles. According to The Big Picture’s Sean Fennessey, whose video essay on Altman accompanies the Criterion series, “Altmanesque” refers to “the subversion of all expected modes in narrative storytelling — in genre, in filmmaking style, in performance.”
And for a director with a tendency toward “the undoing of everything we expect from a Hollywood movie,” Altman had an incredibly robust Hollywood career. His idiosyncratic approach to filmmaking treated the script as a “diagram” that provided loose guidelines but need not be adhered to while going through the process of “actors finding character and story finding itself.” In keeping with an approach that was virtually designed to oppose classical Hollywood production practices and drive producers and studio executives crazy, he favored intensive collaboration with actors.
Altman loved actors, and they almost uniformly adored him. He not only recruited great talent for film, such as Shelley Duvall, Lily Tomlin, and almost the entire supporting cast of M*A*S*H, whom he drafted from the American Conservatory Theater (ACT) in San Francisco, but also guided such favorites as Duvall and Elliott Gould to repeated flights of idiosyncratic brilliance."

I had a great session with Anoush Anou yesterday! We were working on several different looks, including some low-key "Hollywood" lighting. You can get some great looks with a little hard light.

I have to wonder what #hollywood is doing when the most recent film of that name is actually the dumbest idea I've ever seen for a #movie -
"What if aliens invaded but we didn't actually watch the invasion, we watched a guy watch an invasion dramatically like a #youtube reaction channel?".
That's the kinda thing a drunk stoner says.
How Cheryl Hines went from liberal Hollywood actress to Mrs. MAHA.
From @WSJ: "She used to be Larry David’s TV wife. Now she’s a political spouse to one of the most polarizing Trump officials of them all."

More reboots of "Superman" and "Fantastic Four" show Western pop culture is struggling for new ideas. It should look to Asia for inspiration. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/08/01/world/hollywood-has-lost-the-plot/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #hollywood #movies #superman #fantasticfour #jurassicpark #lilostitch #demonslayer #nezha2 #spiderman #batman #gundam #godzilla #marvel #dc
Is Pedro Pascal, one of the most vocal progressive celebrities, the victim of a social media smear campaign, and if so, why? Pascal, who has criticized Hollywood's "passivity" over Gaza, spoken out in support of trans rights and called JK Rowling a "heinous loser," is facing viral accusations on X and on some news websites that he has been groping women. Some of these rumors are based on faked videos and an interview that he never gave, despite it being cited by Google's AI summaries. "The basis of the allegations against Pascal isn’t true, and none of the women he’s been accused of groping have said so themselves," writes Kat Tenbarge, for her Spitfire News newsletter. "What’s happening to Pascal across these viral posts is a smear campaign, one spearheaded by bigots against a celebrity whose inclusive stance directly challenges their beliefs." Here's more.

Today I learned that Liam Neeson has been convinced to apply his "particular shet of shkills" to a reboot of The Naked Gun. I loved the original, and I enjoyed the original Taken too. But I have no interest in seeing this.
Hollywood has its mouth so tightly clamped to its own cloaca now, that there's almost no way for anything original to squeeze in. Around the endless franchise milking of old favourites, sequels, prequels, reboots (hard and soft), etc.
“The story of how Marion & Kate Corbaley tricked the studio executives into paying Lorna Moon $7500, while reviving Marie Dressler’s career, should be a legend in the history of female networking in the motion picture business”

Lorna Moon, she liked the ring of it,
transformed from Nora Helen Wilson Low.
Names need to have a resonance, a fit
and this could take her where she yearned to go…

As well as scriptwriting, Moon achieved critical success with her 1929 novel DARK STAR – “an uncompromising picture of rural life… it explores the precarious social structures, sexual instabilities & surface hypocrisies that shape its confines”. It was adapted for the screen as MIN & BILL (1930), starring Marie Dressler & Wallace Beery
