One of New York’s great art house titans, he was known for uncannily picking films that could play long runs. Held “La Cage au Folles” at the 68th St. Playhouse until its sequel was ready.

I’ll say it again. A whole film studio’s archive shouldn’t be locked up in a vault. These films need to be available to see on the big screen. https://t.co/iJaQuB9Nmv

Film makers went berserk awhile back when a company bought videotaped films, edited out the sex/profanity, and sold the videos to people who didn't want that stuff. Same issue: Who controls it? Seller or buyer? https://t.co/k37UiO8wyo

Robert Evans’ Last Tweet
Bob Evans produced some of the greatest films of all time, but the greatest production of all, was his life.
When you were with Bob, there was nowhere else on Earth you’d rather be.
He was funnier, sweeter and more charming than the character he created. pic.twitter.com/aO7BjnayVp

Saw “Pain And Glory” for a second time today. A genuinely profound picture about Being Alive and superbly acted at every turn. (Nothing comes close to it this year but “The Irishman.”) Banderas is amazing but so are Asier Etxeandia, Julietta Serrano, Penelope Cruz, Asier Flores.

Not surprising. These creeps run in packs. Remember this article where Avi Lerner defended Weinstein, Bryan Singer + Ratner and also said that women lie about being sexually assaulted to get money & publicity. 👉🏼 https://t.co/kvwCUSWSUF https://t.co/sfXlg5t0rz
