A towering figure. One of our last living connections to Hollywood's Golden Age. The guy had a hell of a run, though. At 103, that's not a death to be mourned, that's a life to be celebrated.

Consider this, film fans: His next shitty Netflix movie may well be accompanied by an advertising campaign proclaiming that it stars "Independent Spirit Award winner Adam Sandler!" This is the world we now live in, people. And I don't know quite how to process it.

RIP Olivia de Havilland, best known perhaps for Gone With the Wind, but in my eyes most memorable for her masterful and heartbreaking lead performance in 1949’s The Heiress.
104 years old - what a life!

B movie legend John Saxon (Enter the Dragon, Black Christmas, A Nightmare on Elm Street), too.

AD, come back to Letterboxd. I miss you. Ha! I'll probably get back into it eventually. What happened was I went to my brother's place out in the woods just to unplug and unwind for a week (no internet, very spotty cell reception). And when I got back to civilization one of the first things I did was check LB to see what I'd missed: first review I saw was one of those super annoying posts by some kid complaining that a movie made 20 years before they were born wasn't woke enough and is therefore irredeemable. So I thought to myself "maybe I need a slightly longer break from this place."

So I thought to myself "maybe I need a slightly longer break from this place." I hear ya. I try to avoid woke posts at all costs. If someone I follow posts something like that, I immediately unfollow - I don’t have time for that aggravation. Hope you come back soon! I miss reading your reviews and interacting with you!

Well, [beej] if you were dying to get my thoughts on Alien Resurrection your dream just came true.

These are amazing! Oscar the Grouch in "Mulholland Drive" is too perfect for words. Bert & Ernie in "The Seventh Seal" is dangerously close to becoming my new Letterboxd profile pic.

"Yojimbo" with Animal as Mifune and Rowlf with the severed arm was classic!

Speaking of Criterion, they're not being very kind to my bank account these days.
