Fun What are you watching right now?

"King Creole", quite possibly Elvis' best movie.

 

Watched a whole episode of Peaky Blinders last night for first time. Good grief.

 

Inception.

Christopher Nolan:

"In the great tradition of these speeches, generally someone says something along the lines of 'Chase your dreams,' but I don’t want to tell you that because I don’t believe that. I want you to chase your reality.
"I feel that over time, we started to view reality as the poor cousin to our dreams, in a sense….I want to make the case to you that our dreams, our virtual realities, these abstractions that we enjoy and surround ourselves with - they are subsets of reality."

"The way the end of that film worked, Leonardo DiCaprio’s character Cobb — he was off with his kids, he was in his own subjective reality. He didn’t really care anymore, and that makes a statement: perhaps, all levels of reality are valid. The camera moves over the spinning top just before it appears to be wobbling, it was cut to black.

"I skip out of the back of the theater before people catch me, and there’s a very, very strong reaction from the audience: usually a bit of a groan. The point is, objectively, it matters to the audience in absolute terms: even though when I’m watching, it’s fiction, a sort of virtual reality. But the question of whether that’s a dream or whether it’s real is the question I’ve been asked most about any of the films I’ve made. It matters to people because that’s the point about reality. Reality matters."

"Damnation Alley", starring the Landmaster and some actors. It's the movie 20th thought would be its big sci-fi hit of 1977, rather than that George Lucas thing that was sure to flop.

 

Finishing up Sergio Corbucci's Gli Specialiste with Johnny Hallyday as Hud.
