Nov. 12, 1939: This photo, published shortly after the start of the Second World War, ran with this caption: “The Winged Victory of Samothrace, another great achievement of the ancient Greek sculptors, packed for removal in accordance with plans for its protection formulated far in advance of the war.” A 2009 exhibition at the Louvre showed photos documenting how art was relocated for safety during wartime.

Love seeing good articles and tributes to people in our field. And if you don’t know who Joe Reidy is…well…he’s like The Godfather…of AD’s here in NYC. Check out the full article HERE
Awards season again. Last year, as you may recall, a many months pregnant Natalie Portman received the Oscar for Best Actress for “Black Swan.” Her lithesome acceptance speech, without notes, thanked many colleagues she knew had helped her stand there. As both a lifelong moviegoer and a worker on films, my spirit lifted at these words: “There are people on films that no one ever talks about, that are your heart and soul every day, including Joe Reidy, our incredible A.D…” Along with so many others, I was thrilled by her sentiment — and especially pleased for Joe Reidy.
YOU BETTER RECOGNIZE.
Femen Stages a Topless Jihad
amazing photos
as much as i think this is brave, i wonder if this topless protest is the best way to go about it. i have a feeling men will either leer or hurt these women, and the women will be arrested and nothing will come of this. hopefully i am wrong.
![“I always loved Roger for being the good soldier. Not only the good soldier of cinema, but he was a wounded soldier who for years in his affliction held out and plowed on and soldiered on and held the outpost that was given up by almost everyone: The monumental shift now is that intelligent, deep discourse about cinema has been something that has been vanishing over the last maybe two decades. And it has been systematically replaced by celebrity news. It is what it is, and we have to stand the tide. I try to hold out and keep up what Roger was after.[There] will be a long, long echo [of his work] reverberating for a long, long time. I’ve always tried to be a good soldier of cinema myself, so of course since he’s gone, I will plow on, as I have plowed on all my life, but I will do what I have to do as if Roger was looking over my shoulder. And I am not gonna disappoint him.”Werner HerzogApril 4, 2013](http://25.media.tumblr.com/eb30fcb67c7dde60bcf44ae2928935b8/tumblr_mkrfb0Lhg81r3revyo1_500.jpg)

Trance (2013) | the poster is a good representation of just how much of a mess this movie is, and to quote a friend of mine, it’s “pretty, impressively awful.”
