MISS JULIE. pulling us back toward the movies today with a film adaptation of an RSC production of the bona-fide classic of modern drama by august strindberg. can you even imagine a more perfect 'julie' in your mind than a young helen mirren? this is ferocious. #WORTHWHILEDESIGN

PERFORMANCE OF THE DAY. viggo mortensen is always good but he brought a fierce control and animal magnetism to his role in EASTERN PROMISES that was something special (and it also features a nude fight to the death in a sauna that has to be seen to be believed). #worthwhileacting

RAYMOND CARVER. he wrote just enough stories to let us know that he was a master and not nearly enough to satisfy this reader. his tales are vivid and terse and modern and timeless; he was as good as it gets and i love pretty much every word he put down on paper. #INSPIRATIONS

PERFORMANCE OF THE DAY. 'haunted' doesn't begin to explain the depth and specificity that robert shaw brought to his role in JAWS as a sea captain out to slay a great white shark. he is funny, mangy, furious and even tender. still amazing after all these years. #worthwhileacting

MOVIE OF THE DAY. one more by assayas, this time an elliptical, mysterious ghost story called PERSONAL SHOPPER (2016). featuring a very fine kristen stewart (and a wonderful supporting cast), this study of grief in miniature will haunt you for days to come. #worthwhilecinema

EXTRA EXTRA. there are a number of clever alternative posters for THE HANDMAIDEN--directed by park chan-wook--but few are a lovely as this stunner by tula lotay (the pen name of artist lisa wood). this one-sheet is sensual and moving, as only good art can be. #worthwhiledesign

HOLGER RUNE. only 19 years old and i already hate this tennis brat's bad sportsmanship and cheap tactics on the court. he wins tournaments as fast as he loses tennis fans. ilie nastase would be proud. #BMWFINALS #tennis

REASONS TO BE HAPPY. a fun concept and four great actors grace this one-sheet for a new york city premiere, written and directed by me. the single color contrast against black/white photography is a nice touch as well. good stuff. #WORTHWHILEDESIGN

MACBETH. ralph steadmen pushed his instantly recognizable style to the limit with this batshit crazy poster for an early '80s version of 'the scottish play' for the RSC. it has everything you could want and more in it and i can't stop staring at it. bloody good. #WORTHWHILEDESIGN

EXTRA. one last cannes poster celebrating PIERROT LE FOU, directed by jean-luc godard and featuring two of his favorite collaborators (and most watchable film actors of all time). color, image and placement all collide to create something of great beauty. #WORTHWHILEDESIGN

PERFORMANCE OF THE DAY. guy pearce gets very interesting (and very dirty) in THE ROVER, a post-apocalyptic road picture that is all over the place, as in pretty bleak and really intense. pearce goes full-throttle here and i've never liked him more. shattering. #worthwhileacting

VAN HELSING FRIDAY. what a gift adding tricia helfer to the cast has been--a wonderful and unique take on the character of DRACULA from an actress who never gives less than everything to each role. bravo, ms. helfer, and lucky us! #vanhelsing #themightymshelfer
