30 Jahre "Blade Runner"
Bildgewaltig, philosophisch, desaströs: Wie ein Besessener hatte Ridley Scott an seinem neuen Sci-Fi-Film gebastelt - und dabei die Crew fast in den Wahnsinn getrieben. 1982 stellte er sein Werk einem Testpublikum vor. Doch die Zuschauer von "Blade Runner" verstanden nur Bahnhof.
Als das Licht anging, hätte man im großen Saal des Northpark Cinema in Dallas, Texas, ein Popcorn fallen hören können. "Es herrschte Totenstille", erinnert sich David DeHay an den Abend vom 6. März 1982. Fast 170 Meilen hatte der Lokalreporter zurückgelegt, aus seinem Heimatstädtchen Brownwood, den Highway 67 immer in nordöstlicher Richtung hinauf. Stundenlang hatte er in der Schlange gestanden, um einer der ersten auf der Welt zu sein, der "Blade Runner" sehen würde - den neuen Film des Regisseurs Ridley Scott, der drei Jahre zuvor mit seinem düsteren Weltraum-Horrorfilm "Alien" dem Science-Fiction-Genre das Fürchten gelehrt hatte. Und natürlich wegen Harrison Ford. Dem Mann, der als Weltraum-Cowboy Han Solo in "Krieg der Sterne" und als abenteuerlustiger Archäologieprofessor Indiana Jones in kürzester Zeit zum größten Star Hollywoods aufgestiegen war. Was für ein Traumpaar!

Let's remember the birthday of one of the greatest filmmakers/movie icons ever. Charlie Chaplin
Sir Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin, KBE (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977) was an English comic actor, film director and composer best known for his work during the silent film era.[2] He became the most famous film star in the world before the end of World War I. Chaplin used mime, slapstick and other visual comedy routines, and continued well into the era of the talkies, though his films decreased in frequency from the end of the 1920s. His most famous role was that of The Tramp, which he first played in the Keystone comedy Kid Auto Races at Venice in 1914.[3] From the April 1914 one-reeler Twenty Minutes of Love onwards he was writing and directing most of his films, by 1916 he was also producing them, and from 1918 he was even composing the music for them. With Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and D. W. Griffith, he co-founded United Artists in 1919.[4]

Legbombing: Angelina Jolie Oscars Right Leg Pose Inspires Hilarious Meme
Angelina Jolie's eagerness to show off her toned leg at the 2012 Oscars on Sunday resulted in almost instantaneous ridicule, and now it has its own meme. "Legbombing" is a Jolie-specific version of photobombing with Angelina's bare and high-heeled leg peeking into iconic photos, apropros of nothing.

Martin Scorsese’s Film School: The 85 Films You Need To See To Know Anything About Film
Interviewing Martin Scorsese is like taking a master class in film. Fast Company’s four-hour interview with the director for the December-January cover story was ostensibly about his career, and how he had been able to stay so creative through years of battling studios. But the Hugo director punctuated everything he said with references to movies: 85 of them, in fact, all listed below.
Some of the movies he discussed (note: the descriptions for these are below in quotes, denoting his own words). Others he just mentioned (noted below with short plot descriptions and no quotes.) But the cumulative total reflects a life lived entirely within the confines of movie making, from his days as a young asthmatic child watching a tiny screen in Queens, New York to today, when Scorsese is as productive as he’s ever been in his career--and more revered than ever by the industry that once regarded him as a troublesome outsider. Hugo leads the Academy Award nominations with 11 nods, including Best Picture and Best Director. Several Oscar pundits believe he’ll nab his second Directing win. If so, he owes a lot to movies like the ones below.

Video: Was Charlie Chaplin really a Frenchman called Israel Thornstein?
MI5 investigated whether Charlie Chaplin was actually a Frenchman called Israel Thornstein, previously secret files on the Hollywood film star have revealed.
Intelligence officers could find no trace of the actor's birth in Britain despite Chaplin always claiming he was born in London in 1889.
The mystery surrounding his origins emerged when the US authorities asked MI5 to look into the comic actor's background after he left America in 1952 under a cloud of suspicion over his communist links.
