Octopus Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I love Godard films. La Chinoise and Week-End for me. Seeing Goodbye to Language in 3D in theaters was the most awe-inspiring cinematic moments I’ve ever had. His use of text within the image and as a part of the experience was very artistically inspiring to me and is a big part of my personal art. Top 3 in the favorite filmmakers category. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 In the either or choice, I prefer Truffaut, prob due to lack of interest in the overly political stuff. But hard to gowrong with most of the big FNW auters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinchStalker Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Before I became a puroresu nerd, I was a capital-C Cinephile. My attention span has plummeted in the last five years so I haven't watched movies that often as of late. But this is a big deal for me. I was a huge Godard fan. And not just the 60s stuff, either (although Pierrot through Weekend might be my favorite stretch of his filmography), I mean the hard shit. Histoire(s) du cinéma, Dziga Vertov Group, the 80s comeback, et cetera. I had even been going back to some of the video stuff like Numero deux lately, because I was considering making an AJPW history video essay series and was looking for inspiration to expand the grammar beyond other work in that vein. (Yes, I realize how dumb this sounds.) Most of my other favorite directors were dead by the time I got into them. Tarkovsky, Fassbinder, Bresson(, Oshima, Angelopoulos, Mizoguchi, Ozu, and on and on). My other favorite French New Wavers, Resnais and Rivette, also died around the time I entered my big film phase. (Also, sadly, Akerman.) But Godard, (like until recently, Varda,) was still hanging on. I admired the late modernist that he had grown into, even if it infuriated others (and even if my brain probably couldn't focus enough to watch that stuff today). I think I'm going to put Passion on tonight. Always liked that one. RIP 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Yes, I realize how dumb this sounds.) For the record, I don't think that sounds dumb at ALL. In fact, I'd love to see it. It sounds fascinating. When I was shooting news, I would try to get inspiration from things other than news stories for that same reason. I'd encourage new photographers to do the same. I think it's important to look outside your given field for inspiration. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Quote Silva gradually became typecast playing mobsters, robbers and other criminals. In 1956, he appeared as a hitman in the episode "Better Bargain" on Alfred Hitchcock Presents. And in 1963, he starred as a mobster in the episode "An Out for Oscar" on The Alfred Hitchcock Hour. However, he did play a comic role as one of the stepbrothers in the 1960 Jerry Lewis film Cinderfella, a parody of Cinderella with Lewis in the title role. Other TV appearances include featured roles on two episodes of The Outer Limits television series plus roles on episodes of The Untouchables, Rod Serling's Night Gallery, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and Mission Impossible, as well as Boris Karloff's suspense series Thriller. Hitchcock, Night Gallery, Outer Limits. Just missing TZ. he also once played Mr Moto. Wild 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Y, the mr moto movie is on YouTube. And it’s about oil wells being sabotaged in the Middle East. So, two ethnic sterotyprs for price of one. But Silva doesn’t sound like he’s doing a bad Chinese accent, so that’s something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Execproducer Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 He is definitely an icon for a certain type of film enthusiast. Hell, he has a podcast named for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Sheldon Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Whenever Henry Silva was in a film, I knew I was in for a treat. One of those guys that just had that air of importance. Also, another legend that I thought died a decade ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 How did I possibly forget that Henry was the lead in one of Di Leo's great mafia trilogy films? And he was even BETTER in The Italian Connection. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Aww, hell, Louise Fletcher has passed at age 88. Everybody talks about Nurse Ratched (and for good reason) but I primarily remember her being an asbolute motherfucker as Kai Winn on DS9. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
