これぞ特撮映画の金字塔！ ＳＦＸ怪獣の元祖にふさわしいコングの強烈な偉容とキャラクター！

・偲ぶ会にて 　先日、映画の東宝スタジオサービスの社長さんから、突然お手紙をいただいた。お手紙とはいっても、特別な内容のものではなく、先ごろ亡くなった高峰秀子さんの「偲ぶ会」があるので、出席しないかというお誘いであった。 　私は自著『俺に似たひと』の中で、高峰秀子に触れ、彼女への偏愛を少しだけ語った。くだんの社長は、私の本を読んでくれていて、高峰ファンの私にお声を掛けていただいたというわけである。当日、私はどんな往年の俳優が集まるのかと、ほとんどミーハー気分で会場へ出かけた。 　会場は、スタジオにステージを拵え、椅子を配したにわか作りの劇場になっており、舞台の正面には小さなスクリーンが配置されていた。思っていたとおり、司葉子や、星百合子、八千草薫、宝田明などスクリーンでしかお目にかかれないスターの顔が揃った。(本文より)内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→https://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html

John Yorke, creator of the BBC Writers' Academy, has brought a vast array of drama to British screens.

In September 1998, Michael J. Fox stunned the world by announcing he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease: a degenerative neurological condition. In fact, he had been secretly fighting it for seven years. The worldwide response was staggering.

The choice is yours, and you'll have to live with the consequences for at least the rest of your life.

Teaming up with the former co-host of The Story Toolkit, Bassim El-Wakil, legendary story lecturer Robert McKee guides writers to award-winning originality by deconstructing the action genre, illuminating the challenges, and, more importantly, demonstrating how to master the demands of plot with surprising beats of innovation and ingenuity.

At last, the definitive audiobook about perhaps the best cabin crew dramedy ever filmed: View from the Top starring Gwyneth Paltrow. In Ayoade on Top, Richard Ayoade, perhaps one of the most 'insubstantial' people of our age, takes us on a journey from Peckham to Paris by way of Nevada and other places we don't care about. It's a journey deep within, in a way that's respectful and non-invasive; a journey for which we will all pay a heavy price, even if you've waited for the smaller paperback edition. Ayoade argues for the canonisation of this brutal masterpiece.

This oral history takes the listener behind the curtain for all the show's highlights, from its origins as Comedy Central's underdog late-night program hosted by Craig Kilborn to Jon Stewart's long reign to Trevor Noah's succession, rising from a scrappy jester in the 24-hour political news cycle to become part of the beating heart of politics - a trusted source for not only comedy but also commentary, with a reputation for calling bullshit and an ability to effect real change in the world.

Al Jolson, born Asa Yoelson, immigrated from a shtetl in Lithuania to the United States in 1894 after his father secured a job as a rabbi in Washington, D.C. A poor, Yiddish-speaking newcomer navigating a racially segregated and antisemitic America, young Jolson dreamed of becoming a star, and he did. Through Jolson, Bernstein simultaneously breaks open the history and legacy of the cultural sensation The Jazz Singer. Not only was The Jazz Singer the first feature-length film with synchronized music and dialogue, but it was also taboo smashing in its content.

The gifted filmmaker, corduroy activist and amateur dentist, Richard Ayoade, first chanced upon a copy of The Two-Hander Trilogy by Harauld Hughes in a second-hand bookshop. At first startled by his uncanny resemblance to the author's photo, he opened the volume and was electrified. Terse, aggressive, and elliptical, what was true of Ayoade was also true of Hughes's writing, which encompassed stage, screen, and some of the shortest poems ever published.
