If the Movie had been Directed by Someone Else

Hi Cimmerian!<P>Thanks for 'lite'-ning up the thread! <P>As for being up to my elbows in movie books and websites, I'm not. (I'm just old!) <P>Most everything I learned about movies I learned from Elwy Yost ('Speed' screenwriter Graham Yost's dad) who hosted <A HREF="http://snam.tvo.org/index.html" TARGET=_blank>TVOntario's Saturday Night at the Movies</A> for 25+ years. I grew up watching (and still watch) those movies (2 each week - now 3) plus the most fantastic interviews between. He interviewed everyone who ever worked in Hollywood - actors, directors, screenwriters, cinematographers, editors, producers, choreographers, film critics, film historians, etc. They talked about how movies are made, why certain scenes were filmed the way they were, they compared films and directors, and told all the funny behind-the-scenes anecdotes. They still use those interviews on TVO for 'filler' and occasionally on Bravo, I think.<P>The Internet Movie Database is invaluable for checking details. <A HREF="http://www.imdb.com" TARGET=_blank>www.imdb.com</A> <P>I watch <A HREF="http://www.bravotv.com/series/actorsstudio/frames/index_ad.html" TARGET=_blank>Inside the Actors Studio on Bravo!</A> regularly, too.<p>[ May 29, 2002: Message edited by: Lostgaeriel ]
