"We've definitely got a name for being conceited, arrogant swines... as such," offers Billy MacKenzie, unprompted. "And a lot of aspects of that is true. You just get a feeling from certain people: there's the two show-offs." The Associates by Tom Sheehan, 1981

DRIVE (2011) makes a getaway feel like a chess match, with Ryan Gosling’s Driver using basketball commentary to track the game while monitoring police radio. Then NIGHTCALL takes over as LA lights up. Nicolas Winding Refn knew exactly how to set a mood.
What’s the best opening scene of all time?

Celebrating the late, great Udo Kier on his birthday! 🖤🦇🩸⚰️ Now on the Criterion Channel, you can watch two of his most infamous horror collaborations with maverick filmmaker Paul Morrissey: BLOOD FOR DRACULA (1974) and FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN (1973).

"I don't believe art is an intellectual pursuit because you can't put an IQ on dreams. The best drug for me is 8 hours sleep. Dreams are my acid because the dreams I have are so riotously Dalí that no amount of pharmaceuticals can give me that." 📸 Billy MacKenzie by Steve Pyke

Robert Eggers says that Aaron Taylor-Johnson being traditionally attractive was part of the reason he was cast as the werewolf in ‘WERWULF’. “It's powerful for the audience because this is someone who is cursed, trapped & in this world he doesn’t belong in.”
