In memory and honor of Robert Redford, whose last major role, in The Old Man & the Gun, is one of his greatest—films, roles, and performances (have many other great actors worked with so few great directors? This movie was an inspired pairing): newyorker.com/culture/the-fr…

I don’t even know where to start with Robert Redford, who had one of the biggest careers in movie history. We’ll try to find a way to honor him on @TheBigPic soon. But if you want to see him at his best late in life, watch David Lowery’s THE OLD MAN AND THE GUN today.

What I love about Bill Walton is that he’s the only person on earth whose side quest was being a 2 time nba champion and hall of famer

I have to admit when we were young I made fun of my brother @jandy for reading American Cinematographer magazine.
Today, @AmericanCine published an article about him, so I think he got the last laugh.

One things I love about older movies -- especially films from the 1970s -- is how much of the texture of daily life you can soak up while watching them 50 years later. What rich, poor, & middle class people wore, drank, ate, listened to, read, smoked, drove, argued about, etc.

Jennifer Lame’s OPPENHEIMER editing is tremendous — precisely attuned to Nolan’s maximalist, metronomic rhythms. The confidence of its temporal shifts, their fluidity and profound dialectical momentum, amplifies the film’s sense of contradiction at scale, an existential tension.

Honestly did not see Scientology's Tom Cruise crusading against AI but welcome to the bigger battle, brother.

I storyboarded his Nike commercial &his ill-fated “Blackjack” TV pilot—Woo was incredibly gracious & valued the input of others in a way that I wasn’t used to, esp, given his status at the time. And yes, nearly all of his film references were musicals!

"this was created with 1 frame being taken every 4 seconds changing the angle of the camera to trace the path of the sun. Fixing an equatorial mount onto a tripod, he was able to follow the course of the sun even after dark."

Can’t believe it's been 19 yrs since this night. Me and "the gang." I tried to flag down a waiter to take the picture of us, but all the guys insisted I hold the camera because I had “the best eye” out of everyone there. They said they wouldn’t "trust" anyone else! Fun night! SH.

All respect to the lads, but gimmicks like this do a lot to obscure the fact that film programming is a whole-ass job, of which picking the films to be shown is but a small part, and at TCM most of that job will be performed by a newly depleted staff, not the celebrity “curators”
Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese and Paul Thomas Anderson are set to help curate TCM and "preserve its mission of celebrating our rich movie history."
