God help me. I've spent my entire life with the classic music (including classical) and the TV, films and products that made us from the 60s till today. ALL of my scripts and scriptments celebrate that nostalgia from lost times especially the music with pretty much the same passion Todd Haynes exhib...

I'm on the latest episode, Florin Şumălan.
Thanks for the reminder, Florin Şumălan. Gotta see this. The book blew me away.
I have to sit down and pay attention and watch, have heard only great things about it...but gotta watch without being distracted so I can read the subtitles!
Come meet other filmmakers in the Valley this Thursday!

"Megalopolis" looks most interesting to me, Amanda Toney.
This year's Cannes has some big directorial names with Coppola, George Miller, Yorgos, Schrader, Audiard, Sorrentino, and Papa Cronenberg. Even Coralie Fargeat is back with her first film since REVENGE (2017). What are you most excited to see?

I like the lineup, Pat Alexander! I'm really looking forward to “Megalopolis,” “Furiosa,” "The Substance," and "Bird."
Very strong lineup again. Thierry ain't screwin' around. I'm already working on my Megalopolis tixs ;)
Yeah, it's Megalopolis for me too. Really hope this is a great swan song for FFC.
Don't count him out just yet. Apparently in development on another! This time off of a novel, however.

One of my favorite filmmakers is Krzysztof Kieślowski (1941--1996), and one of my favorites of his works is his 1993 film, TROIS COULEURS: BLEU (Three Colors: Blue) which was the first film of his brilliant Three Colors trilogy. Kieślowski was a master of the detail. His films are often brilliant la...

Brilliant filmmaker, brilliant example. Thanks for sharing Tucker Teague!
Geoff Hall I have not read Kieślowski on Kieślowski, but I know of the book and have been planning on reading it in the near future.
I have 'Dekalog' on DVD. I rewatched part/chapter 1 a few weeks ago, that was a punch to the gut. Simple but clever shot of spilled blue ink soaking into a piece of paper.
Mark Giacomin yeah, Dekalog is also a classic series and certainly chapter one, or the first commandment does just that. A story brilliantly told.

It's not a TV series, Billy Kwack. It's a TV movie. I haven't seen it yet.
Amazon is making a "The Dark Tower" TV series though (and two more movies): www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a42189570/the-dar...

Congratulations to your friend, Dan MaxXx! It pays to write an incredible spec and have an acclaimed showrunner pass it along, especially to a bigtime TV manager.
Sorry Maurice, I got mixed up, again good movie
No problem, Billy Kwack.
