PARADISE LAGOON (1957) Cast on a desert island where there are no classes, where skill and aptitude count, the servant becomes master, the master servant. This will hold few surprises for audiences; still there's something rather satisfying in the demonstration.
Approaching filmmaking as a political act and trying to reach a large audience by putting political material into popular forms, the writers and directors have found themselves sacrificing meaning to thrills, or thrills to meaning. (1973)
Fellini is an unparalleled extrovert, even for a profession rich in extroversion; he is so extroverted he has abandoned interest in characters and is interested only in his own projections. (1972)
[RAGING BULL] By removing the specifics or blurring them, Scorsese doesn’t produce universal—he produces banality. What we get is full of capitals: A Man Fights, A Man Loses Everything, A Man Bangs His Head Against the Wall. (1980)
Other actors might communicate a thought or emotion with an economical gesture, but Nicholson does it with his whole body, as if he were electrically prodded. (1974)
What is getting older if it isn’t learning more ways that you’re vulnerable? (1989)
The American public is a sucker for the corrupt tastefulness of well-bred English epics. (1970)
Visconti is a major director who likes to work on a large scale, synthesizing ideas from the classics, but his work is frequently cold and flawed, and ambitious in ambiguous ways, (1970)
I think Woody Allen knows that the free and messy is the right, great direction for his comedy, but he's very well organized, and, like most comedians, he really trusts success. He trusts laughs, and how can a comedian tell when they're not earned? (1973)
[Sex scenes] have become extremely banal. For a number of years the couples rolled over each other endlessly, and now the scenes work so hard to try to give you some new angle...There just isn’t much way to photograph those scenes and do anything with them. (1993)
[Elaine May] Her satirist's malice isn't cutting; something in the befuddled atmosphere she creates keeps it mild—yet mild in a thoroughly demented way, mild as if impervious to sanity. (1972)
I don't think De Niro's really been a great actor for a few years now, but he gets all this reverential treatment. (1991)
[PROMISE AT DAWN] The film is narrated back and forth in time; but Dassin's feeling for the different periods isn't strong enough to clue us in on where we are and when, so the different parts of the past run together in a blur, as if his time machine had got too oily. (1971)
Peckinpah has become so nihilistic that filmmaking itself seems to be the only thing he believes in. He's crowing in THE KILLER ELITE, saying, "No matter what you do to me, look at the way I can make a movie." The bedeviled bastard's got a right to crow. (1976)
And now here is Bergman, of all people, making a direct and lucid movie; they may, in self-defense, decide it's banal. But if SHAME is banal, it's the most powerful banal movie ever made—the obvious redeemed. (1968)
Fans like untrained actors; perhaps they like even the embarrassment of untrained actors (why should they tolerate the implied criticism of speech or gesture that derives from a higher culture?) (1956)
Who does matter to Paul Schrader? He presents everyone in the same detached, affectionless way; even the sound is hollow. (1982)
Do people actually make movies for therapeutic purposes? Only if wealth can be considered a form of therapy. (1972)
I thought the roles played by John Turturro in both MILLER'S CROSSING and BARTON FINK were deeply offensive. I mean the idea of representing someone like Clifford Odets as a stupid man...is quite bewildering. I think I hated just about everything about that movie. (1992)
[EL TOPO] When you play with ideas this way, promiscuously—with thoughts and enigmas and with symbols of human suffering—the resonances get so thick and confused that the game may seem not just theatre but labyrinthine, "deep": a masterpiece. (1971)

Not that I owe this to anyone but when I went wild with the break up tips , in retrospect, I was actually more down bad and manic than I’ve been in quite a spell. THE GOOD NEWS IS: the sun is out and I got 11.5 hours of sleep 2 nites in a row and I feel FIRE FLAMES! I AM BIZACKKK
Excited to share my first piece for @VanityFair. I wrote on one of my favorite cowboys, Herb Jeffries, the first "Black singing cowboy" onscreen. I reflect on Jeffries' legacy in Western films and music, and his connection to Beyoncé's COWBOY CARTER. vanityfair.com/hollywood/stor…
The "ick" is not real, it can't hurt you. Only a massively infantilized public would use the language of toddlers to describe their disappointment when reality fails to meet fantasy in a pursuit of sexual desire. Only it's not really desire since that would require responsibility

"If the romance plot sets up an enticing question—Will they or won’t they?—the rejection plot spoils everything upfront: they won’t. There the story stalls; but, strangely, continues." @tonytula on The Rejection Plot theparisreview.org/blog/2024/04/1…
