Gene Hackman

Gene Hackman was a great actor. This is a drawing of him from Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation. Some of my other favorite movies he was in include Unforgiven, The Quick and the Dead, and Young Frankenstein. I love the dialogue exchange between his and Danny DeVito’s character in David Mamet’s Heist. Hackman’s character is pointing a shotgun at DeVito:

DeVito: Don’t you want to hear my last words?

Hackman: I just did.

Chinese New Year - Year of the Snake

Happy Chinese New Year, everyone! It’s the Year of the Snake! Gong hei fat choy! 恭喜發財 I hope you get rich!

David Lynch

Horror movies don’t scare me, but for some reason surreal movies do. That’s why I think Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is the scariest film I’ve seen and the diner scene in Mulholland Drive is the scariest scene ever shot for cinema. David Lynch is one of the greatest filmmakers ever and one of my favorites. RIP
