In 1915,
David Wark Griffith done shot a mighty picture
The Birth of a Nation that glorified them horse‑riddin’ Klan men. By ’37,
Archie Mayo stitched together
Black Legion), a film about that very group, a splintered band of the same old Klan order. When the movie showed the Klan in a harsh light— a fascist lot—the real Klan sued. Fast forward to the turn of the millennium, the Coen brothers (Joel and Ethan) looked back at the madness of yesteryear and the even wilder present, and thought, “Let’s get them Klan members to dance.”

Is "2001: A Space Odyssey" a comedy?

Stanley Kubrick is known for making... well... he is known primarily for making
2001: A Space Odyssey... but most of his other films are black-comedies that poke fun at some rather dark aspects of the society.
Full Metal Jacket is undeniably a comedy that pokes fun at the Vietnam war.
Dr. Strangelove is a comedy that pokes fun at the absurdity of nuclear weapons. Hell even
Lolita is a comedy. And a very funny one at that. So in the middle of all this, Kubrick decides to make a movie about space and stuff. And makes
2001: A Space Odyssey. So is it a comedy as well?

Caught Stealing 2025 is a bit dark for a comedy, but way too bright for Aronofsky

Vincent D'Onofrio pops up on my radar lately. I somehow get attracted to the same movies as the actor, which probably means that I need to review
Full Metal Jacket by
Stanley Kubrick, where D'Onofrio had his, probably, most iconic role. In any case D'Onofrio played an Ashkenazi Jewish gangster motherfucker in a
Darren Aronofsky 2025 film
Caught Stealing. Something that I had to see, just based on the absurdity of it.

Is Strange Days 1995 about James Cameron's personal life?

So in 1989
James Cameron divorces his second wife, the film producer
Gale Anne Hurd, opening for her an ability to marry
Brian De Palma that just divorced
Nancy Allen. The same year Cameron marries
Kathryn Bigelow ( the director of 1995
Strange Days ). They make the 1991
Point Break kind of together. But then that same year in 1991 they divorce. Yet, his script
Strange Days about strange love dynamics and stuff ends up being actually made by Bigelow in 1995 ( four years after their divorce ). Hm...

Gareth Edwards is a type of writer / director that I can relate to. I remember watching the Star Wars movie that he directed
Rogue One back when it came out and feeling like I know what this guy is doing. Like I myself want to be that guy. Back in 2016 ( when Rogue One came out ) I still didn't quite give up the
Wrong Hate project and what he showed was the stuff that I was aiming for.
