“I thought the 1970s sucked.” DAZED AND CONFUSED (1993) “was supposed to be an anti-nostalgic movie. But it’s like trying to make an anti-war movie—just by depicting it, you make it look fun.”

Fascinating that almost exactly a year ago, Orchard had partnered with MoviePass for the latter's first foray into distribution: AMERICAN ANIMALS.
Orchard also handled WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS, WE THE ANIMALS, BIRDS OF PASSAGE.
A considerable boutique footprint.
Poof.

"You're never told which is true and which isn't true, which leads you to the proper conclusion that it is all true and none of it's true, so it becomes a poem".

Such a devastating article. Ten years ago a warehouse fire destroyed the master recordings of a lot of the most important American music ever made, and Universal Music managed to keep it a secret. The loss is hard to comprehend. https://t.co/J6mIHzFSLh pic.twitter.com/s13VncVPVc

I drove to set with Keanu on our first day of shooting in 2007. When we got to the stage he turned to me and shouted while kinda bouncing, “MAKING MOVIES! MAKING MOVIES! MAKING MOVIES!” Then he jumped out of the car and ran inside. #TrueStory https://t.co/QDT1DFGjNi

“The [sic] Last Tango in Paris was just one example of what could be gained from cultural importance conferred by critics while enjoying the free publicity garnered by its most scandalous content — in this case, a scene of Marlon Brando sodomizing co-star Maria Schneider with a stick of butter. But those films proved germinal for a generation of filmmakers whose cinematic ideals were shaped during that era, and who then took its most outré sensibilities to Hollywood, where they softened their most transgressive edges.”

“They’re ending political cartoons altogether by July. I’m putting down my pen, with a sigh: that’s a lot of years of work undone by a single cartoon – not even mine – that should never have run in the best newspaper of the world. I’m afraid this is not just about cartoons, but about journalism and opinion in general. We are in a world where moralistic mobs gather on social media and rise like a storm, falling upon newsrooms in an overwhelming blow. This requires immediate counter-measures by publishers, leaving no room for ponderation or meaningful discussions. Twitter is a place for furor, not debate. The most outraged voices tend to define the conversation, and the angry crowd follows in.”
THE NEW YORK TIMES WILL END ALL POLITICAL CARTOONS I just learned, weeks after they published a syndicated Netanyahu cartoon that caused a scandal. For me, this is the end of an adventure that began 20 years ago. But the stakes are much higher. READ HERE: https://t.co/o8y43v88Yd pic.twitter.com/NBH0uyw9Jf
