Month: August 2012

question of the day: What is the best way to honor the life and work of a filmmaker who dies too soon?

Tue, Aug 21, 2012
no comments yet

Does an untimely death change our perspective on the work? (Should it?) Should how a filmmaker’s work was received during his or her life change how we honor them after they die?

question of the day: Is the NC-17 rating doomed?

Mon, Aug 20, 2012

It seems to me that the problem isn’t with what the adults-only rating is called — the problem is how American culture deals with adults-only movies… ie, it doesn’t want to deal with them at all.

Any suggestions for my own birthday commemoration would be most welcome. Turn Your Brain On Day? Hug a Movie Day? Drink More Wine Day? I can’t decide…
