Always been passionate about taking pictures. Where did your love of photography come from . I guess borrowing would be a kinder word rather than stealing my fathers nikon, setting up a little darkroom in my bathroom, putting the tin foil on the windows and being in there with that red light with my tunes going on. The whole concept of time goes out the window. Just the idea of capturing time like that. Reporter but when he started acting, he left the darkroom behind, until 1976 when he starred in king kong.

With additional funding from these foundations and individuals and by and the annual Financial Support of hello, im john lithgow. Welcome to american cinema. In 1946, hollywood didnt think a tv screen only inches in size could ever compete with a theatre screen 30 feet wide. Movies were king. Television was a novelty developed by radio industry. Barely 6,000 sets were in use across the entire country. By 1951, it was a new world and television was a part of it. Movie theatres were closing in waves, 55 in new york alone. To make matters worse, hollywood was coming apart. Antitrust action dismantled the entire studio system. The monopoly of the movies was over. Hollywoods reaction to tv was like one of its plot lines. At first denial, then feeling threatened, followed by fierce competition until embracing the adversary. Yet it was television that produced a new generation of movie directors that told stories in new ways, with movies like the manchurian candidate, bonnie and clyde, and ma
Out, seven days in may, in 1964 and because it was such a sensitive subject they set it a decade in the future in the 1970s to try not to quite freak people out so much because of the plot in the movie potentially unfolding in the United States in the early 1960s. Seven day is in may is another classic scary american political thriller. Its about the u. S. Military rejecting civilian control of the military. The u. S. President , in the movie, he sign as Nuclear Disarmament treaty with the soviet union and the Senate Ratifies it and military leaders freak out and decide they disagree with that so strongly that the leaders of the u. S. Military plan to launch a coup. Drama ensues. We have a pantheon of great great dark american thrillers, movies and books that simultaneously freak us out and also serve the constructive purpose of spelling out the kind of outlandish dangers and threats we might maybe conceivably protect our country some day, at the very edges of the constitution, the ver
President anonymously and in print as this president is fond of saying, the likes of which we have never seen before. In the course of just this one day, the president called for a tightening of libel laws, called out an employee for possible treason and asked a newspaper to hand over someones name. Just five hours ago, think of it, the president s biggest problem was a book that is still days away from going on sale in bookstores. Then came the bombshell late today, an anonymous oped in the New York Times titled i am part of the resistance inside the trump administration. That pretty much says it all. The tiemps says the author is a Senior Administration official known to the papers editors and whose job would be jeopardized by the disclosure of their identity. They first called the source a he on social media but then dialed that back and assigned no gender officially. Its an unsparing indictment of the president , a dire assessment of the crisis under way every day in the oval offic
