I think I've watched "Where is the Friend House" at least 7 or 8 times, each time I see something new, an interaction, a camera motion i've never noticed... but every single time I feel this is one of the most remarkable shots in the history of film.

Join Arthur Eddington who boarded the Anselm, precisely 106 years ago, to observe the 1919 total solar eclipse in Princípe Island and demonstrate Einstein's light deflection prediction and, consequentially General Relativity. Come for the Physics, stay for the sugar, butter and fruits.

8 March 1919 My very dear mother The Anselm is a very nice boat. Our cabin is nicely placed, a good height above water, and is very quiet, Davidson & Crommelin are next door.

JACKIE BROWN was released 27 years ago this week. Quentin Tarantino's adaptation of Elmore Leonard's novel Rum Punch, the story of how it came together is one of promises kept, unexpected casting, and a love letter to 1970s blaxploitation cinema... 1/42
