Martin Scorsese To Be Honored at 2010 Golden Globes with Cecil B. DeMille Award

12 November 2009 12:59 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

In January, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) will bestow the Honorary Cecile B. DeMille Award to Martin Scorsese for “his outstanding contribution to the entertainment field,” to which we say “Congratulations, Mr. Scorsese.”  Of course, any award honoring Scorsese’s career is well-earned by the prolific and influential director.  His lengthy and diverse filmography naturally contains movies which flopped and received no support from film critics, but when you look at his hits, he has left an unforgettable stamp on not only American cinema, but on audiences the world over.  That his work continues to improve and defy simple definition is an inspiration to aspiring filmmakers and a challenge to his peers.  There’s only one complaint people have about the awards Scorsese receives: they’re overdue.

Hit the jump to read the full press release.  The 67th Annual Golden Globes will air on January 17, 2010.  Martin Scorsese’s next film, »

See Apple, Say Apple

30 June 2009 10:16 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

We finally finished watching No Direction Home: Bob Dylan the great documentary directed by Martin Scorsese that aired on PBS in 2005. Watching this film has been a multi-year project. I started watching it with my wife before she was my wife. The film looks back at Bob Dylan's life but it got me thinking about looking forward. There's an expression often heard in edit rooms: "See apple, say apple." It refers to the practice of having the narrator talk about something and then showing that very thing. If the narrator is talking about apples, then we have to show some apples. When you extend that "see apple" concept to the whole film, your work loses depth. Example: You do a show about Donald Trump firing people and all you get is a treatise about a gigantic, throbbing ego. Entertaining for »
