Fan Creates Video To Prompt AFI To Give Lifetime Achievement Award To #JohnWilliams @AmericanFilm

afi

John Williams fan, John Wesley Downey has created a Youtube video to start a worthy campaign.  To get the AFI (American Film Institute) to give a Lifetime Achievement Award to our favourite composer.  As John points out in the video, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Harrison Ford have all won the award but John Williams hasn't.  It seems strange considering the huge contribution John Williams has brought to their work and others including us fans all around the world.

Let's "Like" in favor of John Williams receiving the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award.
John Williams is beyond legend. Numerous great scores, for big films and small, with a staggering range of music, from the jazzy score of Catch Me If You Can to the mournful Saving Private Ryan to the majestic music in Jurassic Park. John Williams is the man. So why have his collaborators received the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award but Mr. Williams hasn't? This video explores that question. Please like, comment and subscribe. And by al means use the SHARE option for Twitter, Facebook and wherever else you'd like people to see this. Spread the word.


Be sure to get the word out there and share the video.

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene.  Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in  Raiders of the Lost Ark ?  It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark.  Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming.  I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com  and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Star Wars VII Movie Poster Just saw this Star Wars VII movie poster on Kyle Newman's Facebook fee d.  The poster is by  Lyndon Berresford and Paul Bateman.  I am loving this.  Who do you think the two characters are?  Lando and Leia?  Han and Leia's children? Have you seen other Star Wars VII movie posters?  Let me know. Rob Wainfur @welshslider

Explaining That "Weird" Cut In Poltergeist. Read The Missing Scene

Why Is There A Strange Cut In The 1982 Horror Classic, Poltergeist? If you're a fan of the 1982 Horror classic, Poltergeist then you will be very familiar with that "weird" cut in the movie.  It's 32 minutes and 47 seconds in to the movie and the scene is where Diane is explaining the strange phenomenon that is happening in the kitchen.  First, she shows to Steve a chair scraping across the floor all on its own then she does the same with Carol Anne.  Steve leans up against the kitchen wall and is completely shocked at what just happened.  It's at this point Diane starts to explain the sensation of being pulled and then...A very abrupt cut.  One moment we are listening to Diane and suddenly it cuts to Diane and Steve at their next door neighbours door.  Why the sudden cut?  It's on the VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and even the streaming versions.  Why does this awful and weird cut exist in the movie, Poltergeist?  Watch the clip below to see the cut: Well, the ans
