Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch – the magnificently named British writer – classified all fiction plots as a number of basic conflicts. One such conflict was "character v character", and down the years a raft of screenwriters and directors have drawn upon this maxim to provide audiences with the delightful experience of characters facing off against each other in a variety of ways. The most fun of these »

New Thomas Smith Collection Brings 'Raiders' and 'Empire' to Austin
2 April 2012 11:30 AM, PDT | Slackerwood | See recent Slackerwood news »
Have you visited the Harry Ransom Center? This world-class museum on the grounds of The University of Texas at Austin is perhaps best known for housing one of only five complete copies in the U.S. of the Gutenberg Bible. Or you may have heard the collection includes the world's first photograph taken in 1826. The Ransom Center's collection doesn't just include old books, photos and paintings. It is also home to cultural materials including film, digital, and other media.
Film collections at the Ransom Center include those of producer David O. Selznick; actor, producer and director Robert De Niro; screenwriters Paul Schrader, Ernest Lehman and Jay Presson Allen; actress Gloria Swanson; and early special-effects creator Norman Dawn. The museum also has some of the original costumes from Gone with the Wind, which will be featured in an exhibit this fall.

Ingmar Bergman vs. the Oscar
27 February 2012 2:28 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Ingmar Bergman Jean Dujardin, Meryl Streep, Christopher Plummer, Michel Hazanavicius, Octavia Spencer, and surely Harvey Weinstein are thrilled they and/or their movies won Academy Awards last night at Hollywood & Highland. Not every Oscar nominee/winner, however, has felt that way. The Criterion Collection has posted (via dizzydentfilms) a May 12, 1960, letter in which Ingmar Bergman scolded the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for nominating his 1957 drama Wild Strawberries for a Best Original Screenplay Academy Award in 1960. (Wild Strawberries was shown in Los Angeles in 1959.) Here's the text of Bergman's letter, which was displayed at the 2010 Academy exhibit "Ingmar Bergman: Truth and Lies": As Smultronstället (Wild Strawberries) didn't compete for "Oscar" I think it is wrong to nominate the picture and therefor [sic] I want to return the "Certificate Of Nomination". I have found that the "Oscar" nomination is one for the motion picture art humiliating institution and »

Greer Garson, Joan Crawford: Deceased Honorary Oscar-less
17 February 2012 4:01 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Walter Pidgeon, Greer Garson in William Wyler's Mrs. Miniver Honorary Oscars and Women Pt.2: Doris Day, Danielle Darrieux, Joan Fontaine, Maureen O'Hara On the list of film industry women who have yet to receive an Honorary Award, I did not include Olivia de Havilland, Elizabeth Taylor, Maggie Smith, Glenda Jackson, Luise Rainer, Jane Fonda, Meryl Streep, Sally Field, Jodie Foster, and Jessica Lange because each of them has already won two acting awards. Barbara Kopple, Thelma Schoonmaker, and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, for their part, have each already won two Oscars for, respectively, documentary feature, film editing, and screenwriting. Barbra Streisand, I should note, has also won two Oscars; the second one, however, was as co-composer (with Paul Williams) of the song "Evergreen" from A Star Is Born. Only someone like Elia Kazan — i.e., with friends in high Academy places — can have two Academy Award wins in a »

Carnage – review
4 February 2012 4:08 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Roman Polanski's claustrophobic comedy brilliantly unpicks the veneers of middle-class politeness
In 1996, I wasted an evening (actually an hour in the theatre and a journey into the West End) seeing Art, Yasmina Reza's vapid play about three French friends arguing over the aesthetic merits of a blank canvas one of them has bought. So I didn't bother with her much vaunted God of Carnage when it opened here and around the world three years ago to the masochistic amusement of enthusiastic middle-class audiences, apparently pleased to see themselves and their friends in a corridor of distorting mirrors.
The prospect of seeing yet another exposé of bourgeois hypocrisy reminded me of a 1950s New Yorker cartoon in which a bland, middle-aged hostess is presenting a bearded, long-haired young man in jeans to a tweedy, middle-aged guest, who's saying: "No, madam, I do not want to meet a spokesman for the Beat Generation. »

North by Northwest at PVR Rare Film Club on Jan 19
13 January 2012 6:55 PM, PST | DearCinema.com | See recent DearCinema.com news »
Alfred Hitchcock needs no introduction. Yet for the uninitiated, Hitchcock is known as the master of thriller and suspense in cinema and North by Northwest (1959) is arguably one of his best and most commercially successful works.
It is the story of an innocent New York advertising executive who is mistaken for a government agent by a group of foreign spies and his life takes an unexpected turn. Like all Hitchcock films, the thrill and suspense will keep you glued to your seats till the end.
Watch out for the opening credits of the film. North by Northwest is known to be the first feature film to make extended use of ‘kinetic typography’, a special type of animation technique in its opening credits. The credits fly in from off-screen and finally fade out into the film itself.
Hitchcock’s signature in his films was his cameo appearance. At the end of the opening credits, »
