In the iconic scene where Han Solo is frozen in carbonite, actor Harrison Ford famously ad-libbed his now-iconic line, "I know," in response to Princess Leia's declaration of love for him. The original scripted line was Leia's, "I love you," to which Han was supposed to respond
Who decided to remove “BORN TO KILL?” Not only did they alter a piece of iconic art by Philip Castle, but they completely misunderstood the point of it being there. Pvt. Joker wears the helmet with “BORN TO KILL” and the peace ☮️ button as a statement about “the duality of man.”
La destrucción de la ciudad de Nueva York en la película “Deluge”(1933) sigue siendo uno de los usos de maquetas más impresionantes vistos en pantalla.
Qué maravilla encontrarme con esta imagen de la creación del legendario logo de la Tōhō (東宝株式会社), productora de grandes nombres del cine japonés como Kurosawa, Naruse, Kobayashi, Teshigahara, Miyazaki y por supuesto creadora del mito de Godzilla. Circa 1950.
In 1977… 20th century Fox put a far bigger marketing budget behind this than Star Wars.
It starred ‘George Peppard’ and ‘Jan-Michael Vincent’,
And even had a score by ‘Jerry Goldsmith’.
It’s a tricky one.. but does anyone know the movie?
"I first saw Ishirō Honda's 'Godzilla' in 1956 at the tender age of eight. Something about the film filled me with a somber dread, not the fire breathing monster destroying Tokyo, but the overall tone, an underlying sadness, a sense of grief & horror."
--- John Carpenter

In Japan, there is a tradition called "Hari Kuyo" (needle offering). Needle offering is an event in which sewing needles that are broken, bent, rusted, or otherwise unusable are given to a nearby shrine as a memorial service. Japanese people always respect old and unusable tools.
If The Terminator was made in the 1950s.
There's something weird and unsettling about these madeup clips, and ironic, really, that this has been created with AI🤔

“I don’t like the idea of ‘understanding’ a film. Either a film has something to say to you or it hasn’t. If you are moved by it, you don’t need it explained to you. If not, no explanation can make you moved by it.”
― Federico Fellini

A nice little detail in 1954 Godzilla. People rather rudely awakened by Godzilla and peering through the window having no idea what's going on or what's making all that noise.
