The 35th anniversary of my mutant baby is turning out to be a lot more fun than its birth
1991 Didn't Deserve the Gonzo Slapstick Lunacy of 'Hudson Hawk' keenesentinel.com/elf/1991-d… via @keene_sentinel
Like DaVinci’s machine, @DavidHughesTwit has turned my core trauma into Gold with his delightful new book. Audrey Hepburn was cast as the villain in an early incarnation?!? I even enjoyed “co” writer @StevenEdeSouza ‘s not inaccurate jabs at my perilous deconstructionism!
Had endless, elaborate dream of pal @Karaszewski hosting an Oscar special, visiting with next year’s Best Director nominees as chosen by my warped subconscious
These dudes go deep! Not the usual “Gee, how do them 3 seashells work?”
Bonus - Demolition Man, Batman Returns, and the Security State w/ @troubledwatersx
Screenwriter/director Daniel Waters joins the show to talk about some of his films, their satire and predictions, and the corporatization of Hollywood.
Link in the replies!
Kubrick is the master of the chilling close-up: Nicholson/Shining, McDowell/Clockwork, D’Onofrio/Full Metal Jacket but none of them compare to Diane Franklin/Last American Virgin. If you don’t know why, join Diane and I for the Monday Bleak Week Cinematheque screening!
Give me some money
Did the “Da Vinci Code” rip off “Hudson Hawk”??? (And other weird theories) valarchive.com/2025/05/17/th…
With Heathers, I perhaps copped out with a strategically adorable ending that inspired a wonderful Musical but the Cinematheque is letting me wet my Bleak Week beak by presenting the true gut punch granddaddy of the teen genre
Don’t expect your typical ‘80s teen comedy – Boaz Davidson’s THE LAST AMERICAN VIRGIN (1982) is playing in 35mm during Bleak Week Year 4.
Plus, Q&A / book signing with actor Diane Franklin. Moderated by Daniel Waters.
Coming to LF3 on Mon. 6/2:

I feel alone in knowing and caring that this White Lotus Lady co-wrote and directed one of the finest films of 2023. Track down Charlotte Le Bon’s Falcon Lake, folks!
New Snow White is pretty terrific and you’re all a bunch of assholes. Mouthy Bitch female lead is a luminous wonder we’re not worthy of. When Grumpy cried, I cried. Even Gal Gad—okay, can’t go that far
More Lynchobhilia. My index cards for Heathers orbiting the sun of a Blue Velvet poster and a shred of blue velvet
Daniel Waters retweeted
Holy shit! I stood on that very spot during one of your parties, back in the day. I knew Welles had died there but now that I've learned Lynch also once occupied that space, I feel like I was on truly hallowed ground.
If the Criterion Closet is Heaven then the Severin Cellar is Hell…and where I feel most at home in a Hieronymous Bosch shirt and off my Parkinsons meds. Disturbing!
***NEW EPISODE ALERT***
DANIEL WATERS VISITS THE SEVERIN CELLAR!
This time we welcome writer/director DANIEL WATERS (HEATHERS, DEMOLITION MAN, BATMAN RETURNS, HUDSON HAWK, SEX AND DEATH 101) into the depths of the Severin Cellar.

I’ve created a response to everyone bitching about Wicked being a Part One. Something I never thought I’d be doing
So I too was at that Nosferatu thang last night. I was prepared for the blood and the rats, but not the revelatory, wall-to-wall Lily-Rose Depp thespian awesomeness
Rough morning/mourning. Discovered these are the only Southern California screens showing Megalopolis in IMAX . The Chinese Theater has committed to The Wild Robot 😥
Vidiots Heathers screening with Director Michael Lehmann, Heather Lisanne Falk, and Writer Me giving my brother and Mean Girls the originality respect it deserves
Best Performance in Shit I Actually Wrote. 3 way tie: Winona Ryder (Heathers)), Michelle Pfieffer (Batman Returns), and Willa Fitzgerald (Fashion Victim). Alas, the latter is an unpicked up pilot. You’re just going to have to settle for @willafitz ‘s legendary STRANGE DARLING!
