FRIDAY, JANUARY 19:

7:30

World Premiere FNF Restoration!

NEVER OPEN THAT DOOR | NO ABRAS NUNCA ESA PUERTA

Argentina, 1952. Estudios San Miguel. 85 minutes

Screenplay by Alejandro Casona, from two short stories by Cornell Woolrich (William Irish)

Produced and directed by Carlos Hugo Christensen

More noir films have been based on the stories of Cornell Woolrich than any other writer, and NOIR CITY is proud to present this brand-new restoration of one of the best of those adaptations. In “Someone’s on the Phone,” Ángel Magaña plays a man bent on avenging the death of his sister, driven to suicide by gambling debts. In “The Hummingbird Comes Home,” Roberto Escalada portrays a racketeer who brings the gang to his boyhood home to lay low after a robbery. His blind madre doesn’t approve. Originally a three-part anthology of Woolrich tales, Never Open That Door was released separately from the 73-minute If I Should Die Before I Wake, also adapted by Casona and Christensen. Benefitting from the incredible cinematography of Pablo Tabernero, this is one of the most evocative realizations of Woolrich ever produced, featuring masterful sequences of sustained suspense. Said Buenos Aires film critic Horacio Bernades, “Rarely has an Argentine film been more purely cinematic than this.”

CAST: Someone on the Phone: Ángel Magaña (Raúl), Renée Dumas (Luisa), Diana de Córdoba (Nelly), Nicolás Fregues (money lender), Pedro Fiorito, Orestes Soriani, Percival Murray, Rosa Martín , Arnoldo Chamot. The Hummingbird Comes Home: Roberto Escalada (Daniel), Ilde Pirovano (the mother), Norma Giménez (María), Luis Otero (Juan)

9:30

STREET OF CHANCE

United States, 1942. Paramount [Universal]. 74 minutes

Screenplay by Garrett Fort, based on the novel The Black Curtain by Cornell Woolrich

Produced by Burt Kelly. Directed by Jack Hively

The first case of amnesia in the film noir era comes with a typically intriguing Woolrichian twist. Frank Thompson survives a near fatal accident only to have the shock partially restore his memory! He realizes he’s lived the past several years as someone other than his true self. With the help of his incredulous girlfriend Ruth, Frank embarks on a nocturnal quest to determine his true identity. This modest offering from the B-unit at Paramount benefits from some A-list contributors, principally stars Burgess Meredith and Claire Trevor, and director of photography Theodor Sparkuhl, whose contributions to the look of early ’40s noir have gone largely unheralded. A wonderful gallery of supporting characters skitter and sneak through Frank’s waking nightmare, well rendered by journeyman director Jack Hively who had previously helmed many entries in RKO’s mystery series The Saint.

CAST: Burgess Meredith (Frank Thompson), Claire Trevor (Ruth Dillon), Louise Platt (Virginia Thompson), Sheldon Leonard (Joe Marucci), Frieda Inescort (Alma Diedrich), Jerome Cowan (Bill Diedrich), Adeline deWalt Reynolds (Grandma Diedrich), Arthur Loft (Sheriff Stebbins), Clancy Cooper (Burke), Ann Doran (Miss Peabody), Paul Phillips

Neil Reynolds' NFL diary: Day five | NFL News

http://www.internetunleashed.co.uk/?p=25962 Neil Reynolds' NFL diary: Day five | NFL News - http://www.internetunleashed.co.uk/?p=25962 Neil Reynolds American Football Expert & Columnist Last Updated: 31/07/18 8:34am And that’s a wrap! Monday was spent in training camp with the Seattle Seahawks and now it's time to drag our weary tails home after conducting 21 interviews during a country-crossing tour that took us to New York, Stamford, Nashville, Los Angeles, San Francisco, the Napa Valley and the Pacific North-West.Along the way, we have been fortunate to chat with some of the big stars of the league and today was no different as we got time with quarterback Russell Wilson, receiver Doug Baldwin, linebackers Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright and head coach Pete Carroll. The faces are significantly different in Seattle. During a tumultuous offseason, the Seahawks parted ways for one reason or another with Jimmy Graham and Paul Richardson on offense and Cliff Avril, Michael Bennett, Kam Chancellor, Jeremy Lane, Sheldon Richardson and Richard Sherman on defense.But the message remains the same. Compete and win. The expectations have not been lowered one iota inside the building in Seattle. That was one of the big takeaways from our day with the Seahawks in one of America's most beautiful sporting facilities, hugged up tight against the shores of Lake Washington.Five observations from Seattle Seahawks training campThe Seahawks compete in everything they do. On every play during this training camp practice and, according to the players we interviewed on Monday, that is something that carries over into the regular season and it definitely translates into a more positive performance every Sunday. I'll give you one example of that competition. Wilson threw a pass into the corner of the end zone that was caught by wide receiver Marcus Johnson. But the official ruled the toe-tapping receiver to be out of bounds, which prompted a good-natured back and forth between Bobby Wagner and Doug Baldwin over the validity of the play. Their debate went on quite a while and highlighted how the offense and defense want to win on every play… even in JulyThe Seahawks are missing one of their defensive stalwarts in All-Pro and Pro Bowl safety Earl Thomas, who is holding out until he gets a new deal or gets traded. Seattle don't seem in any rush to extend the 29-year-old defensive back so the two sides have hit a stalemate of sorts. Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said something interesting to me on Monday when we talked about veteran leadership on his team. He said: "When you have Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright, you don't need any more on the other side of the ball." Not a mention of Thomas, which was quite telling. Russell Wilson Russell Wilson is a true superstar who always cuts a positive figure. Given his elite status, Wilson legitimately gives the Seahawks a chance to win whenever he steps on the field. But even Wilson himself might admit that he is going to have even more on his shoulders in 2018. Doug Baldwin was missing from practice on Monday and some of Wilson's completions had me reaching for the Seattle roster. During the course of a morning practice that played out under an unforgiving sun and in 95-degree heat, Wilson completed passes to Damore'ea Stringfellow, Marvin Bracy, Tyrone Swoopes and Kyle Carter. Those guys are not exactly household names, but neither was Baldwin when he first arrived in Seattle.In a spirited and highly competitive practice, there were several young players who caught the eye - notably first-round running back Rashaad Penny, free-agent wide receiver Jaron Brown (who caught a beauty of a 40-yard touchdown pass from Wilson in team drills) and rookie linebacker Shaquem Griffin. Pete Carroll spoke very highly indeed of Penny and while it is hard to judge runners in camp, he certainly moves well and looks set to be a factor in the passing game as well as the ground attack. Griffin made arguably the play of the day in the red zone as he jumped Wilson's slant pass at the goal-line and made a spectacular diving interception. Any worries about his ball skills should have disappeared with that incredible play and he is developing a habit for making game-changing plays having forced a fumble in practice the day before.Pete Carroll spoke eloquently and at length about the culture he has created in Seattle. I found it fascinating because, by the coach's own admission, it might not be for everybody. He empowers his players to be individuals willing to express themselves and to not be afraid of having opinions. He rightly pointed out the Seahawks have fielded some outspoken alpha males in recent years, but here is the key - they were all very well aware that no one is bigger than the team. As Carroll stressed, every player on Seattle's roster "belongs to something bigger than yourself." He also explained the players police themselves and are under no illusions of what is and isn't acceptable in Seattle. So beyond the hollering and whooping sits a line that even the most controversial players on the roster know must not be crossed.Quote of the Day I We have had a great run with some terrific football players but there is just a cycle in these things and there comes a time when you have to make transitions. Pete Carroll "We have a good feeling about the players we have - it feels new and it feels fresh. It feels like it did four or five years ago." - Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll on the new look and feel of his 2018 Seahawks.Quote of the Day II"When I was undrafted, I wanted to be a starter. When I was a starter, I wanted to be an impact player. Then I wanted to be an all-star and All-Pro player. I keep pushing myself and I keep finding motivation, whether it be external or internal." - Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin explaining the drive that took him from being an undrafted free agent to one of the best in the business.Quote of the Day III"I'm super-excited to come to London and play a regular season game. I'm excited about what the future is going to be like in London in terms of growing American football and expanding globally around the world." - Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson when asked about his interest in helping to promote the NFL in the UK. Training camp finish that sentenceHuge thanks to… Oliver Luck at the XFL; Mike Vrabel, Marcus Mariota, Derrick Henry, Malcolm Butler, Kevin Byard and Taylor Lewan at the Tennessee Titans; Anthony Lynn, Philip Rivers, Keenan Allen, Joey Bosa and Casey Hayward at the Los Angeles Chargers; Jon Gruden, Jordy Nelson, Obi Melifonwu and Jared Cook at the Oakland Raiders; and Pete Carroll, Russell Wilson, Doug Baldwin, Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright at the Seattle Seahawks. That's not a bad haul over five interview days. Not too shabby at all.Final ThoughtAs I sit and write this final paragraph in the departure lounge of Seattle-Tacoma Airport, I reflect on another fun training camp trip to the United States. It really is, for an NFL fan, one of the most wonderful times of the year. From Jon Gruden's scowling face to Philip Rivers' side arms… from Pete Carroll's infectious enthusiasm to Mike Vrabel's desire to get his hands dirty on the practice field… it has been an amazing opportunity to see four London-bound teams up close and personal. I feel very fortunate to have been on the road witnessing their preseason preparations and hope you have enjoyed some of what I have shared with you. To producer Alex and cameraman Scott… thanks for the laughs! Until the start of the new season on Sky Sports in September… Reynolds out (drops boarding pass in lieu of a microphone).

If you haven't seen the best Sherlock Holmes adaptation I've ever seen yet then you really need to.

Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson is a 1988 television series produced and directed by Sheldon Reynolds and shot in the Soviet Union for copyright infringement reasons. It stars Geoffrey Whitehead and Donald Pickering as the titular characters Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson respectively. The show perfectly balances the characterization of Holmes and Watson, something I never see anyone do properly. They also love each other very much and nobody gives Holmes a girlfriend. Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson is a reboot of the 1954 show The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes also produced and directed by Sheldon Reynolds. I would also suggest that but have it be known that the characterization of Holmes, while still better than most other adaptations, is less balanced than the near-perfect characterization in Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson.

10 Fast Facts About Get Out

With a career that spans more than 40 years, 100 on-screen credits, and two Oscar wins (plus an additional three nominations), Gene Hackman has earned the right to be picky. Though he officially announced his retirement from Hollywood in 2004, movie fans around the world have long hoped to see him make a comeback. In the meantime, and in honor of his 88th birthday, we’re looking back at 10 famous movies—and one beloved sitcom—he almost starred in.

1. THE GRADUATE (1967)

In 1967, longtime friends and one-time roommates Dustin Hoffman and Gene Hackman found themselves as co-stars in Mike Nichols’s The Graduate, with Hoffman cast as floundering recent college grad Ben Braddock and Hackman as Mr. Robinson, the husband of Hoffman’s much older lover. Though Hackman was older than Hoffman, it was by just seven years—which didn’t seem old enough, and led Nichols to get rid of Hackman and recast the role just a few weeks into filming. Nearly 20 years after the film’s release, in 1985, Hackman admitted to the Chicago Tribune that, “It still hurts. I was going to play Mr. Robinson, Anne Bancroft’s husband. But Mike Nichols didn’t think I was doing it well and so—one, two, three, I was fired. Mike’s a nice guy, but he’ll fire you without blinking an eye.”

Though Hackman admitted that getting the axe didn’t do much to hurt his career—Bonnie and Clyde came out the same year and really helped to raise his profile—he said it was still “painful. Every time I look at the television schedule and see The Graduate coming on, or sometimes when I see Dusty [Hoffman], I think about it. And, you know, getting fired from The Graduate can stick with you.”

2. ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST (1975)

If Kirk Douglas had his way, he would have played the role of R.P. McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest—just as he had on stage, when the book was adapted as a play in 1963. But by the time the film finally got off the ground with Miloš Forman as director more than a decade later, Douglas knew he was too old for the role, but had two specific actors in mind: Hackman and Burt Reynolds. Ultimately, the role went to Jack Nicholson, who won his first of three (and counting) Oscars for the film.

3. CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (1977)

Though it’s hard to imagine Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind without Richard Dreyfuss in the starring role of Roy Neary, he was far from Spielberg’s first choice. Spielberg had his eye on Steve McQueen, who reportedly said no because he couldn’t cry on cue. Spielberg then offered the part to a host of the biggest actors of the time—Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, and James Caan among them. They all passed, leaving the door open for Dreyfuss.

4. APOCALYPSE NOW (1979)

Five years after starring in Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation, Hackman was the director’s first choice to play Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore in Apocalypse Now … but there was a catch. “The Apocalypse Now situation was touchier because I have such regard for Francis Ford Coppola as a director,” Hackman told the Chicago Tribune. “But he wanted me to work for points (a percentage of the gross, rather than for a salary), which I don’t think I should do.” Instead, it was Robert Duvall who got to famously declare: “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.”

5. ORDINARY PEOPLE (1980)

In 1980, Robert Redford made his directorial debut with the emotionally charged story of a family dealing with the death of their eldest son; Donald Sutherland and Mary Tyler Moore played the parents, and Timothy Hutton played the younger son (and won an Oscar for his efforts). But Sutherland’s role was originally going to be Hackman’s—until money got in the way. “I liked the script but couldn’t come to an agreement regarding the—how can I phrase it?—the compensation,” Hackman told the Chicago Tribune. “If I thought about it, I suppose I would have to have some regrets. So the thing to do is not think about it, don’t you think?”

6. BACK TO THE FUTURE (1985)

We’re not sure exactly how close Hackman got to landing the role of Doc Brown in Back to the Future, but in 2015, we learned that he was on the list of contenders to play the lovably mad scientist. Michael Klastorin and Randal Atamaniuk’s book, Back to the Future: The Ultimate Visual History, included a memo—dated August 21, 1984—that included more than 40 possible names to fill the role. Some of them are crossed out, some of them are bracketed, and some of them—like Christopher Lloyd and Gene Hackman—have a checkmark next to them, which seems like a good sign. (See a copy of the memo here.)

7. MISERY (1990)

Though the role of novelist-turned-captive Paul Sheldon in Misery might seem like the kind of part any actor would kill for (no pun intended), a long line of well-known actors said no to the film. In his book, Which Lie Did I Tell?, legendary screenwriter William Goldman recounted some of the names on that list, including Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Robert Redford, Harrison Ford, and William Hurt (who apparently told them no twice).

8. THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991)

Though Hackman has stayed mostly in front of the camera, in the 1980s he decided he wanted to see what it felt like to sit in the director’s chair and, along with Orion Pictures, purchased the movie rights to Thomas Harris’s The Silence of the Lambs for Hackman to both direct and star in. “It’s one of the most cinematic books I’ve ever read,” Hackman said. “As I read it, the movie was clicking in my mind.”

Hackman planned to take the role of Jack Crawford, with John Hurt as Hannibal Lecter. But in 1989, on Oscar night, Hackman had a revelation: Sitting in the audience, where he was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for Mississippi Burning, Hackman realized that he didn’t want to follow up one unlikable character with another. So he sold his part of the rights to Orion, and still has yet to direct a film.

9. THE FUGITIVE (1993)

In 1989, Hackman and director Andrew Davis clicked while making The Package, in which Hackman played a Green Beret tasked with transporting a prisoner, played by Tommy Lee Jones, back to America. When the time came for Davis to begin casting for the role of Chief Deputy Marshal Sam Gerard in The Fugitive, he considered Hackman—and John Voight, too—but eventually opted to re-team with Tommy Lee Jones who won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for the film.

10. JACKIE BROWN (1997)

Jackie Brown may be the headliner in Quentin Tarantino’s adaptation of Elmore Leonard’s 1992 novel Rum Punch, but bail bondsman Max Cherry is integral to the twisty plot. And Tarantino had a pretty short list of possible contenders: Hackman, John Saxon, and Robert Forster. He went with Forster, which turned out to be a smart move, as the actor received the movie’s only Oscar nod.

11. THE BRADY BUNCH (1969 – 1974)

Remember that “beloved sitcom” we mentioned? Well, it’s none other than The Brady Bunch. Yes, you read that right. In his 2010 book, Brady Brady Brady, The Brady Bunch creator Sherwood Schwartz wrote that, “there were a number of men I wanted to interview [for the role of Mike Brady], including Gene Hackman. Paramount wouldn’t even okay Gene Hackman for an interview because he had a very low TVQ. (TVQ is a survey that executives use to determine the audience’s familiarity with performances. TV executives don’t admit to the existence of TVQs, but it is commonly employed in casting.)” Maybe it was all for the best—at least for Hackman. “The year after The Brady Bunch debuted, unknown Gene Hackman with no TVQ starred in The French Connection and won the Academy Award for Best Actor, and has been a major star ever since,” Schwartz added.

The nominees for the 2019 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards have been announced by Comic-Con International. Image Comics received the most nominations with 19, while DC Comics received 17 nominations (not including the “shared” categories, like colorists who work for multiple companies).

On the creator end, Tom King received the most nominations with six, followed by Alex de Campi and Jeff Lemire with four. Also, if you’re of the betting persuasion, here’s a tip: put your money on an Image series walking away with the Best New Series Eisner.

At @sarahthecoat‘s recommendation I’m going to be posting my Howard Holmes meta series to Ao3 as well as tumblr in case anyone is interested enough to subscribe rather than depend on tumblr’s unreliable tags. Thank you for the suggestion!

If you are seeing this link without having read the original post, here’s what this meta series is about:

Last year I discovered a 1954 TV adaption of Sherlock Holmes produced by Sheldon Reynolds and starring Ronald Howard and Howard Crawford, fell in love with its unapologetic joyousness, and promptly scoured the internet for gifs, fic, and commentary. At my estimation it took under 4 hours to exhaust my sources. This is troubling, to say the least. So I've decided to do something about it: I have excavated my documents of notes, and I will be embarking on an overly detailed episode-by-episode meta about the series, mostly about it’s gayness. Also other stuff, but mostly that. This will continue until I have commented on every episode—or until I abandon the project, which given my track record is far more likely. But there will still be more material about this gem out in the world then when I began, and that’s the main thing.
