This is one of my favorite outtakes that we dug up during the BLADE RUNNER Final Cut restoration: Rutger Hauer giving such a tremendous performance, that even Harrison Ford (who was understandably fed-up with the shoot at this point) gave Rutger an affectionate "atta boy."

I still wish DIAL OF DESTINY had maintained Indy tradition by match dissolving with the Paramount logo instead of that Lucasfilm/lock thingy. I get not wanting to dissolve from Disney's castle to a Nazi stronghold. But contracts be damned, the best answer was there all along.

Ep. 10 of #ANDOR is some of the best filmmaking STAR WARS has ever seen. And yes, I was in tears. But not easy tears of nostalgia. I was run through a genuine emotional ringer because I cared about the characters, story, and stakes. All of it is so masterfully earned. #OneWayOut

As he should be. His film is the only star war since 1980 that had me on the edge of my seat, uncertain how our heroes would survive, let alone win. He took some big, crazy George-style swings, and even if not all of them connected for me, most of them did. A 10/10 landing too.

To say that William Friedkin was an outspoken, opinionated dynamo, even late in life, is an understatement. And his fiery on-set directing style will long be debated. But, his work on screen? Beyond masterful. He never left anything on the field. An iconoclast. A legend. R.I.P.

Iโ€™m at the #PREY premiere at #SDCC2022 and this thing justifiably earned a huge, rousing standing ovation. Easily my favorite PREDATOR movie since the original. @DannyTRS and team have made a primal and emotional survival epic. @AmberMidthunder is a total badass in this too.

I went to a test screening of GHOSTBUSTERS several months before release. Usually, some suit would introduce the film to warn people the VFX and music were temp, etc. At this one, Ivan Reitman introduced the film. The audience burst out in applause. My first ever test screening.

Alan Ladd, Jr. was a good luck charm on the ALIEN and BLADE RUNNER documentaries I directed. His were the first interviews I conducted on both. His visionary taste, and heroic support of firebrand filmmakers, has left us with some all-time classics. Well done, Laddie. R.I.P.

THX 1138 turns 50 today. It represents what couldโ€™ve been a very different career for George Lucas, and I wish I could visit that alternate universe. Artfully shot by Kihn & Myers, and Murchโ€™s sound design is next level. A deeply hypnotic dystopia I enjoy immersing myself in.

This one hurts. I was honored to have met Richard Donner a few times, observe him work a bit, and I was always in awe of how he not only commanded a set, but commanded the screen. He made this kid believe a man could fly, and maybe one day, that same kid could make a movie. RIP.

Rumor control, here are some facts about ALIEN 3: 1) The Alien Anthology Blu-ray box is the best version to get; 2) Fincher understandably chose not to be involved, but the "Assembly Cut" largely conforms to an early cut he made with editor Terry Rawlings; 3) And...

I thought it over, and 40 years later, I still love Peter Hyamsโ€™ HIGH NOON-in-space, OUTLAND. Itโ€™s about as solid as a B-movie can get, with Connery, Sternhagen and Boyle all in fine form here. Plus, a killer Goldsmith score and a terrific knock-down drag-out foot chase.

Now might be a good time to remind people that when someone says that the first cut of their film was "four hours long," they're almost always referring to an assembly -- a very rough string out of footage in story order -- and not something ever intended to be seen by audiences.

Today is the 35th Anniversary of STAR TREK V. Not my favorite TREK film, putting it politely. It suffers from clumsy, forced comedy and sadly "under resourced" VFX. But its cast chemistry, cinematography, basic concept, and predictably awesome Goldsmith score are all plusses. 1/2

I have no idea where this scene ranks with Donald Sutherland's best. All I know is that he was handed six pages of dense, unforgiving exposition, did a simple walk-and-talk and a bench sit, and outright stole a 3 hour+ epic featuring one of the best casts ever assembled. #JFK

30 years ago today, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER set sail into theaters, and it remains one of my all-time favorite comfort movies. Thrilling, fun, smart. Terrific on all fronts. AND I got to visit the set when they shot the final scene in front of a blue screen on the Paramount lot!

This 7-disc (!!!) #DUNE 4K Ultimate Edition beyond imagination just arrived from my friend Dieter in Germany. 3 versions of the film, 2 discs of extras, the score, rare photos, the comic adaptation, posters, all in a huge plexiglass brick that could brain a sandworm. Wow.

50 years ago today, my favorite movie of all-time began filming at South Beach in Marthaโ€™s Vineyard, Massachusetts. This scene economically packs a humbling amount of character, tone and tension into just 1 min 20 secs. JAWS is a master class Iโ€™m still learning from. 1/2
