• “I Always Have To Be Bigger Than Life. It’s a Fault in My Nature.”

  
  TCM's Classic Movie Blog — Authority: 528
  A friend and I have been mulling over cinematic portrayals of real-life historical figures, stars, and celebrities. We’re not particularly interested in historical or biographical accuracy but in which famous figures are most often depicted in the movies and by whom. Just as I was thinking about how to turn this ...

  Inside Pulse Movies — Authority: 144
  There are few that would deny the comic genius of Mel Brooks. And while he does have impeccable comic timing and definitely knows what’s funny, I think the thing Brooks was best at was picking the perfect cast. In each and every one of these films, the best person was picked for each part. There isn’t a bad ...

• 400 Screens, 400 Blows - Orson Welles and ?

  
  Cinematical — Authority: 744
  "Who is the new Orson Welles?" someone asked me after a recent screening of Richard Linklaters Me and Orson Welles (64 screens). Certainly Christian McKay does a superb Welles in that movie, and if anyone wanted to have an Orson Welles-style narrator on a documentary, or a Moby Dick-style cameo in a feature ...

  This year marks the sixtieth anniversary of zither-mania.

  BeefJack - The Gamer's Sauce. — Authority: 451
  Right off the bat, I’ll say that in any form, I do believe that games are art.  From the time it takes to make a game, to the programming, to the final product, a lot of the same energy that’s put into traditional art is also put into making a game.I’ll also go a step [...]

  Up in the Air By Matt Brunson So did Santa deem me a good little boy or a bad little boy this year? Hard to say. On one hand, his helpers at the Fox studio didn’t screen Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel for local press, and for that, I’m eternally grateful. On the other hand, those bastards at Fox also ...
