Second article sur ma petite capsule Gemini. Une petite réflexion qui découle du festival du film court à Clermont-Ferrand. Ça parle de silence, de faux raccords et de triche.

Tonight, three films.
First up, FutureWorld (1976), directed by Richard T. Heffron, starring Peter Fonda, Blythe Danner, Arthur Hill, Stuart Margolin, John Ryan, and Yul Brynner. It's a sort of sequel to Westworld. Haven't seen it since it was first on TV.

Second, Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking (2004), directed by Simon Cellan Jones, starring Rupert Everett, Ian Hart, Jonathan Hyde, Eleanor David, Helen McCrory, and Neil Dudgeon. It's a British TV movie.

Last, Rich and Famous (1981), directed by George Cukor, starring Jacqueline Bisset, Candice Bergen, David Selby and
Hart Bochner. It's a drama about jealousy, it seems.

Netflix is trying to take over Warner Discovery, and seize one of the most important studios in film history.
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with AS Hamrah to understand why that would be a disaster and to get other insights from his career as a film critic.

Schindler's List 1993 and how Spielberg was perfect to tell this story
As a kid I did not understand the need for movies like Schindler's List. Growing up Jewish I knew about the Holocaust. I knew about the Nazis and heard stories about stuff they did. But movies in my childhood brain were firmly just a form of entertainment. What entertainment is there if you are watching people suffer? Yet as I explain in my other article at about 14 I got to a rather strange point in my life, when everything dark and real became important. That's when I saw Schindler's List for the first time. That's when a film that is not made for entertainment suddenly started making sense.

Hey folks. Sorry I'm so disconnected this week.
Tonight, these three films.
First, Family of Strangers (1993), directed by Sheldon Larry, starring Melissa Gilbert, Patty Duke, Eric McCormack and William Shatner. It's a TV movie about discovering a birth family Melissa Gilbert's character never knew she had.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_of_Strangers
Second, The People that Time Forgot (1977), directed by Kevin Connor, starring Patrick Wayne, Sarah Douglas, Thorley Walters, Dana Gillespie, Shane Rimmer, and Doug McClure. It's a sequel to The Land that Time Forgot of course.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_People_That_Time_Forgot_(film)
Last but not least, Gorgeous (1999), directed by Vincent Kok, starring Jackie Chan, Shu Qi, Tony Leung, and Emil Chau. It's really Shu Qi's movie it seems.
“A streamlined newspaper for a streamlined era”
Posted today for no particular reason:
“A streamlined newspaper for a streamlined era” is the slogan that replaces “A free press means a free people” in Frank Capra and Robert Riskin’s 1941 classic film, “Meet John Doe.”
The threat in the film is incipient fascism led by a wealthy and corrupt industrialist who starts John Doe clubs exploiting the goodness of naive character John Doe, played by Gary Cooper, to ease his way into the White House. When he learns how he has been used, John Doe prepares to sacrifice his life to highlight the truth and prevent the industrialist from using our democracy against itself as a road to totalitarian power.
Again, the film is from 1941 and explicitly connects the destruction of a free press to the rise of homegrown fascism.

Tonight, three movies on deck.
First up, Lady of the Manor (2021), direted by Justin and Christian Long, starring Melanie Lynskey, Judy Greer, Justin Long, Ryan Phillippe, Luis Guzmán, and Patrick Duffy. It's a comedy and I have no knowledge about how you could see it unless you happened on a Blu-Ray copy like I did. It's a Lionsgate movie.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_of_the_Manor_(film)
Second, The French Dispatch (2021), directed by Wes Anderson, his usual ensemble, but this time split into three segments. I haven't seen it. I happened on a Blu-Ray for this too.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_French_Dispatch
Lastly, Cheats (2002), directed by Andrew Gurland, starring Trevor Fehrman, Matthew Lawrence, and Mary Tyler Moore. Another comedy, and one I'd never heard of.
