Sunday, October 18, 2015 at 8:32AM The BFI London Film Festival wrapped up yesterday and with festival wraps (well, the juried festivals) come awardage. The big news for our actressy purposes was of course Galadriel receiving her BFI fellowship from Gandalf. More hoopla after the jump...
Saturday, October 17, 2015 at 5:51PM You like it? Ingmar Bergman will buy it for you. (Well, if it's under about $25. ) Behold the new Swedish 200 kr. starring one of the greatest auteurs of all time.
Saturday, October 17, 2015 at 9:32AM This may be the first time we've ever mentioned the People's Choice Awards as I see they have no "tag" here and EVERYTHING has a tag here at The Film Experience. Obviously we don't mention them because they are embarrassing! But this morning, while waiting for the coffee to brew I chanced upon their "Fav Actress" ballot by way of Jessica Chastain's twitter and that woman has no shame (bless) about retweeting compliments / self-promotion.
And the ballot turned out to be not half bad actually as choices go as long as you ignore the one divergent option. This has to be the most Oscary list they've ever come up with right? But I still felt the need to fix it for them after the jump...

Dreamt last night that I won an Oscar, and the first thing I did in my speech was thank @nathanielr.

You agree that it's perfect, yes?
Sorry to be so self-serving (actually he's not, Nathaniel says about himself in the third person) but that has to be the nicest thing anyone's subconscious has ever dreamt up about me... that I'm aware of.
A collection of other great tweets including beefcake via miners, politicians and actors is after the jump...

Spielberg & his current muse, Tom HanksDepending on whether you count 1971's Duel as Spielberg's debut (it's a TV film but most cinephiles seem to count it where they don't count television features as the debuts of other auteurs) Bridge of Spies, opening today, is Steven Spielberg's 25th or 26th full length feature film. His superstar-making run as an auteur (1975's Jaws through 1985's The Color Purple) is so often discussed and mythologized that for this week's edition of Posterized, let's just look at his output in this new century.
Bridge of Spies, the new cold-war thriller starring Tom Hanks, headlining his 4th Spielberg picture, appears to be divvying people up into two camps from early reviews. Doubters say it's too slow and lacks thrills. Devotees praise it's glorious classical filmmaking. Will there be a Happy Medium crowd that meets in the middle and says, 'a little dull sure but worth it for the glorious classical filmmaking'? We all have time to decide now that the movie's open.
How many of Spielberg's eleven most recent films have you seen?
All the posters and what's next for Spielberg after the jump...
