Twin Peaks fans are a lucky bunch. Whether printed in magazines, compiled in oral histories, or presented on stage at fan conventions, just about every cast member has shared unique memories of life on the set. But as much as I love to hear from the actors, what I long for are stories from the... The post Dave Robinson – The Process of Twin Peaks’ Prop Master & Painter appeared first on TWIN PEAKS BLOG.
John Higgins / The Verge: Kaleidescape gets movie files directly from the studios, encodes them at reference quality, and makes them available for download to its high-end media players and servers. They offer 4K Blu-ray quality, or better, without a disc, and the ease of streaming without the quality loss. But they’ve always been expensive — so expensive that even in my 20 years of reviewing AV systems I’ve never had the chance to use one. They’ve been the purview of pricey, custom-installed…

Dwa filmy na których niedawno byliśmy."Michael". Biopik rozbity na dwie części, i w sumie słusznie biorąc pod uwagę format postaci i mnogość historii. Nie mam pojęcia jak bardzo zgodny z prawdą bo nie studiowałem biografii Jacksona, ale jestem pod wrażeniem tego jak jego bratanek Jaafar doskonale odtworzył nie tylko ruchy ale też głos Michaela. Jest tubka która zestawia nagrania studyjne z filmem [1] i są zaskakująco podobni. Inna tubka [2] pokazuje oryginalny teledysk "Thriller" i sceny w…
Oh, I didn’t know the Mickey17 movie was a book adaptation, I’m reading it now! Fun fact: the book’s title is Mickey7.
A chronicle of country-music legend Johnny Cash’s life, from his early Arkansas-cotton-farm days to his rise to fame with Sun Records in Memphis, where he recorded alongside Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins. The story about the Man in Black masterfully played by Joaquin Phoenix and for which Reese Witherspoon won an Oscar for her interpretation of June Carter is an absolute masterpiece of a film, one that (at least for me) passed the passing of time and set itself as a great…
Today we tip a battered top hat worn by a three sheets to the wind Ted Healy to Moe Howard, the ace of slapstick who succeeded Ted as "the head stooge" when The Three Stooges began starring in short subjects for Columbia Pictures in 1934. The gang here continues having a rough go through 2026, so a bit of "laughter is the best medicine" from Moe Howard, born on this day in 1897, and the Three Stooges, starting with the following documentary by his son Paul, provides an excellent Rx. Love this…
The Gentlemen (2019)
A new Icelandic film is out, Þrost (Thirst) about a peculiarly selective vampire and friend who stalk the streets of Reykjavík. The trailer looks trashy but it is full of familiar faces and lots of scenes of the city. Now streaming on Pecadillio (link at YouTube description:
Last year I attended two days of the Cinecon Classic Film Festival, but I was disappointed I was unable to catch IT'S A WISE CHILD (1931), a rarely seen pre-Code comedy starring Marion Davies.Very happily IT'S A WISE CHILD has just been released on Blu-ray by the Warner Archive Collection.Like LETTY LYNTON (1932), which is due out in the immediate future, the underlying play by Laurence E. Johnson has fallen into the public domain, clearing the path for release.Davies plays Joyce Stanton, a…
Review by Sandre the Giant Released: 12th June 2026 Canadian technical death metallers Goreworm have just released their second record, ‘Miasmic Solitude’, on Transcending Obscurity and while the genre has always suffered from the risk of saturated yet soulless brutality, Goreworm’s 2020 debut ‘Prodigy of the Grotesque’ had none of these issues. Their distinctive blend of tech death, melodeath and a healthy dose of atmospheric touches were exciting to watch unfold, and ‘Miasmic Solitude’ looks…
The early life of musician Michael Jackson, from the discovery of his talent as the lead of the Jackson Five to the artist whose creative ambition fueled a pursuit to become the biggest entertainer in the world. It’s hard to make something about Michael Jackson without falling into controversy, or falling flat. However, this biopic about the life of the greatest pop star that’s ever lived is a complex story about music, business, abuse and finding yourself and stops just right, with the 1988…
(This post is part of the 2026 Luso World Blogathon hosted by Crítica Retrô and Spellbound with Beth Ann)The title "America's Sweetheart" has been applied to a number of actresses over the years. For a brief time in the late Sixties and early Seventies, it could have easily been applied to actress Karen Valentine, who played student teacher Alice Johnson on the comedy-drama TV series Room 222. If you ask many younger male Baby Boomers (who may have seen Room 222 in its first run) or older Gen…
Vor zwei Jahren hatte ich eine Bürgeranregung eingereicht, um eine direkte Fahrrad-Verbindung von der Erzbahntrasse zur Zeche Hannover mit der Zeche Knirps zu bekommen. Kernelement ist die Eisenbahnbrücke über die Hüller-Bach-Straße und den zugehörigen Bach. Die sollte nach Planungen der Stadt Bochum für Fußgänger ertüchtigt werden. Die vorherige hölzerne Brücke über den Hüller Bach war da schon jahrelang gesperrt und schließlich abgerissen worden. 2012: Eine Familie auf dem Weg von der…
I have always wanted to see this, and it popped up on sale while I was trawling through the bottom of Amazon the other night. Judex (real name Jacques de Trémeuse) is a fictional French vigilante hero created by Louis Feuillade and Arthur Bernède for the 1916 silent film serial of the same name. Judex (whose name is Latin for “judge”) is a mysterious avenger who dresses in black and wears a wide-brimmed hat and cloak. He was possibly conceived as a heroic version of the criminal character…
Last week the Ordway hosted the Broadway tour of the recent revival of the 2005 Tony-winner Spamalot, and a good time was had by all. This week they welcomed back the queens of SIX, the smash hit musical that began at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, then went to the West End, then toured the US (including at the Ordway in 2019) before making its pandemic-delayed Broadway premiere in 2021. The next spring it won Tonys for best score and costume design, and is still playing on Broadway touring…
A juror, a lawyer and a mysterious woman stand in the way of a man trying to manipulate an explosive trial. Good conspiracy thriller around gun legislation in a complicated and layred story. All in all, a great watch for an afernoon, Gene Hackman, John Cusack, Rachel Weisz, Dustin Hoffman having good performances, in this movie directed by Gary Fleder and based on a John Grisham novel.

Five years ago, 7,000 Hollywood writers fired their agents over a practice called packaging and won.That fight, though, was almost entirely about television, not film. The most pernicious version of packaging lived in TV series, where an agency could earn as much as, or even more than, the very people who created the show, and where the agency had little reason to push for higher writer pay, because its money came from the package fee rather than the writer’s salary.Packaging fees may have…
Y’all already know that I am not a horror fan. Horror has always been my least favorite movie genre, and there are very few movies within the genre that I even consider worthwhile. When I went to see Obsession, I was already outside of my comfort zone by going and seeing a horror movie in theaters, as they’re always too loud and I really hate being jump scared in front of other people. You can imagine my surprise when Obsession ended up being the best horror movie I’ve ever seen. It is one of…

In 1990, a series of photo slides featuring characters from Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks were released as publicity for the show.

A young Mississippi lawyer defends a black man who killed the two white men that raped his preteen daughter. John Grisham’s bestseller A Time to Kill hits the screen with incendiary force, directed by Joel Schumacher (Batman Forever, The Client). Sandra Bullock, Samuel L. Jackson, Matthew McConaughey and Kevin Spacey portray the principals in a murder trial that brings a small Mississippi town’s racial tensions to the flashpoint. Amid a frenzy of activist marches, Klan terror, media clamor and…
Risotto mit Kreuzkümmel und Curry mit einer Sauce aus geschmorten Aprikosen, Datteln, Sojasauce und Ingwer Vor ein paar Tagen erzählte mir der Professor von einem kleinen Dorf in Apulien. Er schätzte es auf 20 Einwohner. Vielleicht ein paar mehr. Eigentlich ein ganz normales Dorf. Aber auffällig: Alle drei Monate waren alle schlecht gelaunt. Meckerten herum. Waren grantelig. Es gab immer mehr Streit wegen Kleinigkeiten. Caprese erzählte von Mikkel, einem Dänen, der am Dorfrand wohnte und der…
Mangold-Quiche mit Saurer Sahne und Schnittlauch sowie einer knusprigen Kartoffelkruste Bei diesem Gericht hatte ich mir vorgenommen, auf den Mangold zu achten. Eigentlich tue ich das häufig bei Zutaten. Ihn nicht zuzudecken mit Aromen. Er schmeckt ja etwas nussig. Dieser eigene Mangoldgeschmack. Deshalb habe ich auch auf den üblichen Knoblauch verzichtet. Ich mag Knoblauch. Aber er kann auch zarte Aromen verdrängen. Wie eben die vom Mangold. Ich habe ihm aber zur Unterstützung Schnittlauch…
Griechischer Joghurt mit Leinöl und Thymian-Mandel-Krokant Im Sommer sitzen wir oft im Garten des Professors. Sie müssen wissen: Er hat zwei Pools in seinem Garten. Der eine – eine Blechwanne – steht in der Nähe des Tisches – also eher in der Sonne. Auf den Stühlen sitze und die Füße im Wasser baumeln lassen. Die Dialoge sind eher einfach: »Wollen wir noch einen Espresso trinken? Es gibt auch noch drei italienische Hörnchen.« »Si.« Wir lieben das. Wenn wir im Schatten sitzen wollen oder es…
Max Payne (2008)
At the start of Exhuma, we see a young woman and man sitting next to each other on a first-class flight. Both of them go beyond movie-star beautiful into model or pop star beautiful, and they’re both fashionably dressed. The man is more casually dressed, and he’s resting while listening to headphones. His arms and chest are covered in tattoos of Chinese characters. The woman is more serious, looking out the window and thinking. A flight attendant comes up and asks, in Japanese I believe,…
Schon vor einiger Zeit geisterte dieses Desserts durch die sozialen Medien, doch erst jetzt habe ich es endlich mal ausprobiert. Waldmeister erinnert mich immer an das Wassereis, das es in der Gastwirtschaft in unserem Dörfchen gab, wenn man mal den Papa vom sonntäglichen Frühschoppen abholen sollte und sich das letzte Bier mal wieder endlooooooooooooos hinzog...

Football may be the last mass spectacle that still resists instant gratification.
