My first spirit awards were in 1992 with POISON. Todd and I were there with his parents and we were seated with Gus van sant and HIS parents. Buck Henry and Jodie foster hosted. No press allowed. Super funny and nasty ceremony.

Among the amazing things about Stanley Donen is that he directed On the Town when he was 25 and Singing In The Rain when he was 27. When I was that age I’d barely even watched either movie.

Thank you, Stanley Donen.
Charade, On The Town*, Royal Wedding, Two For The Road…
… and SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN.*
Gotta dance. Rest In Peace.

“Having 17 nominations is terrific — obviously — but I’m mostly excited by how much the films are figuring into cultural conversations that feel really vital,” Mr. Linde said. “And wait until what’s next. I think it’s going to rock people’s socks.”
What’s Up With Roma Producer Participant?
I love the Spirit nominees this year, even more so after what’s turned out to be a fairly brutal awards season.

This year the Spirit Awards are The Oscars and the Oscars are The Razzies.

First Reformed is in some respects the significant American film event of 2018. That Paul Schrader made his strongest, purest and most complete film after 40 years of accomplishment is reason to rejoice.

Everything that is uniquely great and wonderful about cinema fills Singin' in the Rain to the brim. That's why for me it's the greatest film ever made. RIP Stanley Donen, the man who made it possible, along with so much more. pic.twitter.com/Az1gVwUmAa

“I come not to bury the academy, but not necessarily to praise it either. Rather I come, with a nod to Jonathan Swift, with a modest proposal for people to cut it a little slack.”

Jason was a supporter of mine at a time when I couldn’t get movies made. He has always been a true gentleman to me and a supporter of Ghostbusters: Answer the Call. I can’t wait to see his take on the Ghostbusters universe. Big love and respect to you, Jason. Your fan, Paul https://t.co/2I9sqmrgTl

Joined Vanity Fair in 1983, the year FLASHDANCE gladdened all our hearts, &, like the priest Clare Boothe Luce wanted to hear her first confession, was able to witness the rise & fall of empires from an ideal perch. It's been sweet, thanks all, & see you around the next bend.

I’m sorry that folks don’t have great movie houses like we do in LA. That said I grew up in NY and in the 1970s the moviegoing “experience” often meant scratched prints, shitty projection, filthy theaters, rats and pervs – I didn’t give a shit because I was there for the films. https://t.co/0qqkWow4hl
