The Hard Relaunch of the Golden Globes

How did we get here? I'll give you the condensed version.

How did we get here? I’ll give you a condensed version. Who are the Hollywood Foreign Press Association? The HFPA was an organization founded in 1943 by Los Angeles-based foreign journalist who wanted a more organized process for distributing movie news in non-US markets. It would become an extremely exclusive club that nobody could get a membership to. Throughout those early years, the Golden…

What Makes A Christmas Movie

That Old Picture Show's definitive definition of what makes a Christmas movie.

It’s an argument I hear every year: What qualifies a movie as a Christmas movie? I’ve stayed silent, year after year. But, I cannot stay silent any longer. That Old Picture Show’s definitive definition of what makes a Christmas movie: A movie that has a plot that is dependent on the holiday season, can be considered a holiday movie. A movie can have a scene (or even several scenes) that take…

The Villainy of Grandpa Joe and Willy Wonka

I just have a lot to say on this subject, guys.

One of my all-time favorite films is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. NO. Not the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp one. That one is called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.. Do you really think they would name a film after this guy? I’m talking about Gene Wilder in all his screaming glory Willy Wonka. Now, just because I love a film, does not mean that I am blind to any flaws that it may have. Or,…

A few fonts and things from WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (1971). I always thought the candy in the film looked so unappetizing. Like jars of painted kidney stones. The chocolate river in the factory seemed filled with baby diarrhea or something, or like the murky stream near a refinery. But anyway—the film is a classic of course, and Gene Wilder is supreme in it: a cordial demon.

sleepless in seattle (1993) “it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together, and i knew it. i knew it the first time i touched her. it was like coming home, only to no home i’d ever known.  was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and i knew it. it was like magic.”
