    Just saw someone asking if the new Harris-Lange film of Long Day’s Journey is “a remake of the Sidney Lumet film,” and I went all Nathan Fillion gif for a minute.

    “I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!” NETWORK (1976) In a decade littered with cinematic masterpieces, Paddy Chayefsky & Sidney Lumet’s movie is right up there at the top of the list. #PeterFinch

    I wrote a dispatch focusing on 3 Venice premieres: Danny Boyle's "Ink," which is thrillingly directed bullshit; the engrossing Iranian family drama "Falling House," which reminded me of Arthur Miller & Sidney Lumet; and Robert Greene's experiment "Too Much Sugar." www.rogerebert.com/festivals/ve...

    it's kind of bizarre that the right has picked up Sidney Sweeney as some sort of right wing hero when her most personal film is a passionate criticism of the Catholic church and is pretty undeniably pro abortion.

    No Way Out (1950). Depicts a race riot. At one point a character uses the N word dozens of times in a row uninterrupted. Much of Sidney Poitier's career would be hard to remake these days. Pressure Point (1962) where he's a therapist trying to deprogram a Nazi. Maybe that's exactly what the world needs a remake of right now, but we're not gonna get it. Basic Instinct (1992), Body Heat (1981), that sort of thing. They might remake it into a TV show, but they're not putting that much sex in…

    “It is a far, far better thing I do than I have ever done. A far better rest I go to than I have ever known.” Captain Kirk’s lines near the end of TWOK are actually said by Sidney Carton in Charles Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities, the book that Spock gifts Kirk at the beginning of the film.

    There's a line in Sidney Lumet's film, "Night Falls on Manhattan", where Ron Liebman, who is terrific as a Jewish DA, delivers a line about "the party of my people", meaning the Dems. Fetterman seems to be gravitating toward the GOP, the party of his rich white privileged people.

    3 reasons to recommend Circus of Horrors (1960): to experience the 3 times director Sidney Hayers built tension before deaths we knew were coming. If you like circus performances and looking at incredibly beautiful women, that may take you through a movie that simply moves too slowly. On TubiTV.

    Jill was going to completely get away with everything while Sidney was in a coma. Then the next movie would be her at college trying to do a new Stab 2, and all the logistics of how to pull off a mystery murder spree. Plus Sidney would wake up with amnesia, or maybe faking it.
