70 anni di un musicista a cui il regista premio #Oscar #JonathanDemme ha dedicato un intero #film.

People forget that Jonathan Demme was something of a madman before THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS garnered him mainstream respectability. I forgot how insane this shootout scene was in MARRIED TO THE MOB. Big hair, vibrant colors, big chewy performances from Mercedes Reuhl and Dean Stockwell, crazy editing. Almost like a trial run for TRUE ROMANCE four years later. But Demme had the vibe down before Tony Scott.
3 things about Jonathan Demme’s LAST EMBRACE [1979]
1. Sweaty Roy Scheider in black bikini briefs.
2. The walls of the secret office and lined with compact shelving.
3. Commandeering a chunky tourist bus.
We're looking back at another past review that was released by Roger Corman and it might just be one of the very best women-in-prison flicks ever made - Jonathan Demme's Caged Heat!

I just watched The Silence of the Lambs (Jonathan Demme, 1991) and rated it 6/10 ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Silence_of_the_Lambs_%28film%29?wprov=sfla1 #films #cinema #cinemastodon #TheSilenceOfTheLambs #JonathanDemme #JodieFoster #AnthonyHopkins
I'm to busy to be any fun online! But at least I have #LetterboxdFriday. (Well _I_ think it's fun, okay?!)

It's weekly video time. I hope some people enjoy it.
The women’s prison drama is also a subgenre that has enjoyed some popularity. In #ChainedHeat, #LindaBlair’s character must survive in a prison plagued by violence, rape, drugs, corruption and staff brutality. It’s often crudely photographed and edited, and the boom operator must be having bad days throughout the shoot. I didn’t enjoy it much, not to be confused with #JonathanDemme’s #CagedHeat. — #CineMastodon #FilmMastodon #80BMovieChallenge

The prompt is Support
Talking Heads, “Burning Down the House” from “Speaking in Tongues” 1983
Lyric:
“No visible means of support and you have not seen nothing yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire”
#TalkingHeads went through many phases, some of which I love passionately, some I don’t care for at all, but they were always interesting. They're in #funk mode on Speaking in Tongues, where we first heard Burning Down the House. The original was perhaps eclipsed by the incendiary live version featured in #JonathanDemme’s 1984 concert film Stop Making Sense.

In 1987 #DavidByrne appeared in a short, quirky film in a #PBS anthology series. Recently it occurred to me how this film and BDTH were thematically related, but I laughed it off.Turns out the film, “A Family Tree” was also directed by Demme. Hmm...
Do yourself a favor and watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kJ01xg6DLM

#NowPlaying Director #JonathanDemme dropped in on #DeirdreODonoghue at #KCRW for a guest DJ set while his film “Stop Making Sense” was still in theaters. Demme sat in on November 8, 1984, spinning a wild selection of his favorite music — including the premiere of a then-unheard #TalkingHeads song — and discussing the making of the now-iconic film. https://www.kcrw.com/music/shows/bent-by-nature/jonathan-demme-talking-heads
This movie should be seen with a group of friends with the best sound system you can manage and the volume turned UP!
I was fortunate enough to see it in a theater.
