Videodrome — 1983 Directed by David Cronenberg

Francis Ford Coppola on the set of Apocalypse Now in the Philippines (1976)

A wild, unforgettable film-and it all began with chaos. A planned 5-month shoot spiraled into an 18-month odyssey. Tropical storms destroyed elaborate sets. Marlon Brando arrived overweight and wholly unprepared.

Martin Sheen suffered a breakdown and near-fatal heart attack mid-production. Filming finally wrapped in May 1977, but the madness continued -Coppola spent months buried in over a million feet of footage, endlessly editing and delaying release.

The result? A psychedelic, operatic masterpiece still reverberating through cinema history like the haunting whirr of helicopter blades at dawn.

pure cinema of the rescue scene in 8x01? never stops living rent-free in my head.

eddie diaz, smelling like god’s own cologne i’m sure, dead-serious firefighter face collapsing into “oh hell no” the second the bees take flight. the little micro-expressions. the full CARTOON PANIC. the POV camera cut that feels like we’re being launched into a national geographic special.

and over all of it? flight of the bumblebee. korsakov himself rising from the grave to go “yes. this is what i wrote this for.”

also the black-and-yellow uniform vaguely matching the bees? cinema. peak visual storytelling. auteur behavior.

I can finally show the full scale version of this really fun painting I did for Auteur! All the moody lighting and glowy bits were a delight to work on, and of course his Evil Skull Face (tm) hehehe. If you like a melodramatic villain who rewrites reality around himself and ignores fourth walls when it suits him, this anthology is a delight!

ID: A low angle image looks up at Auteur, a skeletal figure wearing a flowing dark blue-purple cape with a high collar. Auteur's head is a stained skull with staring orange eyes and an angry expression. Behind him stands a cylindrical stone tower with blue-green light glowing through windows at the top and swirling down into misty bird-like shapes around the sides of the tower. The sky in the background is filled with dark clouds and split by a bolt of purple lightning. end ID

Auteur: The Final Word

Auteur is a visionary, a genius, a god. The Author of All Creation. So he has claimed for centuries, and many believe him — who else could r
