Good lookin’ to Pacific Street Films and Cinephilia and Beyond for getting this PBS documentary on Martin Scorsese back out there. I remember when it first aired. I videotaped it and watched it over and over.
In the winter of 1997 I was in L.A. on a job. I invited a woman to see a Buster Keaton movie at a place called Old Town Music Hall. She stood me up, but I went anyway and had one of the greatest nights of my life. I recently visited L.A. and went back to see another Buster movie at the Music Hall. Good to know such a place exists, you know?
So I was thrilled to see this movie posted over at This Must Be The Place (via Kottke).

There’s a touching documentary on HBO about Robert De Niro Sr., an accomplished painter. Worth watching.
“Woman in Red” 1961.
This movie looks good. And this post by Andrew Martin over at the New York Review of Books is cool.
Tonight on “American Experience” gives Penn Station.
More on Short Cuts. Dig this excellent documentary.
