LOVE, DAVE MAMET
This is an excerpt of Dave Mamet’s editorial notes (the all caps are his) to the writers of The Unit (via):
ANY TIME ANY CHARACTER IS SAYING TO ANOTHER “AS YOU KNOW”, THAT IS, TELLING ANOTHER CHARACTER WHAT YOU, THE WRITER, NEED THE AUDIENCE TO KNOW, THE SCENE IS A CROCK OF SHIT. DO *NOT* WRITE A CROCK OF SHIT. WRITE A RIPPING THREE, FOUR, SEVEN MINUTE SCENE WHICH MOVES THE STORY ALONG, AND...

Editor on Editor: Walter Murch interviews Anne V.... →
The interview is 10 years old, but I recently got interested in her after watching a clip in which she discusses intercutting in the sex scene for Out of Sight. Here’s an excerpt:
MURCH: When you were growing up, did film interest you in a particular way, and if it didn’t, then how did you get involved in film? COATES: I didn’t go to the cinema very much as a child. When my...

I'm trying to find
bricorama:
This movie quote.
I’m 99% sure it’s from ‘network’.
It’s about William Holden character and it’s on the order of “if the devil came back don’t you think he’d disguise himself as a great guy…”
I think you mean Broadcast News? Is this what you’re looking for? It’s said by Aaron Altman (played by Albert Brooks):

don't date a kurosawa
ME: So how's that director you're dating.
Cousin KIM: Ugh. He left to shoot in Montana, and didn't call or text me for 5 WEEKS. Dropped his ass.
ME: He's working!
KIM: I don't care, he didn't have time to text me once?
ME: You know Kurosawa? I heard that whenever he was making a film he'd forget that he had a wife and a family. He was just so into it.
KIM: DON'T YOU COMPARE HIM TO KUROSAWA.

Errata corrige
byronic:
@stayforthecredits: I’m an idiot my dear, and I owe you an apology.
I wrote this Tumblr Tuesday post and for some reason I typed the words “adamngoodshot” in the link name where *your name* should have been. All fixed now.
So, world, you should know that stayforthecredits also gets the “byron thinks you’re awesome” seal of approval. The girl is a star.
Oh! Haha, that’s not a...

What Denis Leary thinks about St. Patrick's Day
Happy St. Patrick’s Day all!
randomitus:
First thing’s first: There are many Irish-Americans in this country who celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in a quiet and sober manner, perhaps heading off to work with a muted-olive tie or a small emerald pin as their nod to the day’s events. There are also those who go to the 7 A.M. mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral and consider the day a prayerful...
