I’ve been patiently waiting for this day for 32 years
Let’s hope it doesn’t take another 32 years for the uncut version of this scene to find it’s way into the light
PS, Judd’s scene might be even more nutty
Just bawled my eyes out watching the beautiful gem

@AdamRifkin
- you gave him such an amazing gift with this flick. The scene where he apologizes to Claudia is some of Burt’s career-best acting. See it on

now!
I’ve always admired Richard Donner. Loved his films & even paid homage to his work from The Banana Splits in Detroit Rock City (Uh oh, Chong!) But it was the ep of Twilight Zone he directed, Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, that has had the most lasting impact on me

If someone had told me back in the 70s/80s that all the Super-8 movies I was making as a kid would someday be meticulously remastered and released on a deluxe limited edition Blu-ray I’d have said, “What’s a deluxe limited edition Blu-ray?”!
BREAKING: Technology giant, Phillips, has just acquired the
Blue Diamond Almond company. The new mega conglomerate will be rebranded as Blue Diamond-Philips

EXCLUSIVE: Golden Globe nominee Malcolm McDowell is saddling up with James Paxton, Bernadette Peters and Laura Marano for Adam Rifkin’s western ‘Last Train To Fortune.’ The pic also reteams McDowell with his former wife, Oscar winner Mary Steenburgen
Spent the morning delivering all of my 35mm prints of my movies to the Academy Film Archives where they will be preserved in their temperature controlled vault as the “Adam Rifkin Collection”. Hear that

1 of my all time faves. Produced by the great Elliott Kastner, who once told me he hated it. Said Altman bait n switched him. Promised a classic noir but delivered a “fucking hippie movie”. I told him I loved it & said he brilliantly subverted the genre. EK said I was an idiot 😂
@justinkirkland4
Even though Chicago had the likes of John Wayne Gacy and Richard Speck, but I’d have to say H. H. Holmes, America’s first serial killer, takes the cake for most egregious.

more TLC than it deserves. If anyone told me in 1989 that 1 day it would be restored and released on Blu-ray in 4K UHD I’d have said, “What’s a Blu-ray? And what in the hell is 4K UHD?”

a fabulous doc about mixtape culture and lost art of meticulously creating an aural love letter. It was fascinating, nostalgic and unexpectedly emotional. Keep an eye out for it!
He did make it big. He was a key member of the “Brat Pack” and one of the biggest young stars of the 80s. His attachment to a film assured it would be financed on his name alone. A flippant tweet might be easy but sustaining that kind of stardom is always hard.

R.I.P. Elizabeth (Libby) Sokol. Also known a the Blump’s Lady. 97 years is a helluva run. Best grandmother a couple of kids from Chicago could ask for. End of an era ❤️
Only 1 film on the list made pre 2000? Seriously? I guess it’s the arrogance of the headline that pisses me off most. I suppose I’d be less angry if the article was called “The 10 Best Sex Scenes In Film I’ve Seen In My Embarrassingly Limited Experience As A Cinematic Illiterate”
@cassianelwes
At 12 I was an extra in THE HUNTER, Steve McQueen’s last film. We were told not to speak to him but I went up to him and said I loved The Blob. He lit up. Said nobody asks him about that one. I asked what the blob was made of. He said ground up old stunt men. And yes, it was fun

@pennjillette
and I made a movie last year that some folks have described as being kinda weird. It’s called DIRECTOR’S CUT:
We just watched Adam Rifkin's The Last Movie Star as our "Sunday Morning in bed" movie and it totally wrecked us both in the best way. What a damned farewell to Burt Reynolds. Ariel Winter was outstanding in this also. Highest recommendation possible.
Hey Houston! Tomorrow (11/8)
