If anyone is interested in watching the rare Spielberg documentary (which now seems to be scrubbed from the Internet), I can post it for 24 hours (I assume). BUT I'm not bothering unless I get my image capability back.

 

The historic Oppenheimer blast in months to come will appear here without a single image?

 

At one point Spielberg looks into the camera and is obviously contractually forced to say : "I am filming a segment of Twilight Zone : the Movie." Imagine his vibe there. . . . Just imagine. . . . Because that's all you can do right now. . . .

Get Shorty

And one I watched last night:   A Paris Education;   

While not about Hollywood, it is about a French Film student in Paris with allusions to Hollywood movies.  Rather slow,  monochrome digital B&W photography (as in mostly gray, not much contrasting black), monotone dialogue, but always kept me guessing as to where it was going right up to the last frame.   Interesting artistic choices and change of pace compared to Hollywood.
