Never the twain shall meet my big behind!
It's as if people are lining up waiting to be Mother's next victim on Bates Motel Season 5 Episode 2, and someone who loved her dearly moved quickly to the head of the queue.
Caleb's future doesn't look very bright at this point, and his only hope of survival is his erstwhile friend, Chick. Will there be anything Chick can do to keep Caleb alive?
Not only is Norman balls out batshit crazy right about now, but he's also getting very ballsy in general. He's taking chances he wouldn't have in the past and has built this tremendous new confidence now that he's become one with Mother.
All the things she's doing are him, after all, and he's transferred a lot of Norma's better qualities to Mother.
She's itching to get out of the house. While Norman might not have been much of an explorer on his own,...

Rushes collects news, articles, images, videos and more for a weekly roundup of essential items from the world of film.NEWSThe big news in Hollywood is that "the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has approved a series of major changes, in terms of voting and recruitment, also adding three new seats to the 51-person board — all part of a goal to double the number of women and diverse members of the Academy by 2020. The changes were approved by the board Thursday night in an emergency meeting," Variety reports. A major step, certainly, but we've still to see what the results will be. And certainly Academy membership does little to alter what kinds of movies get produced and by whom.Charles Silver, the head of the Museum of Modern Art's Film Study Center, passed away last week.

"Q: How were you different when you came out of it as a cinematographer? Did you find yourself having to think in much larger strata about what you were doing?
A: Right. Well, the answer to that is, yes. I'm a minimalist in the way I think. So when I look at something, I usually start eliminating things as opposed to adding things. And not that...

Renowned Swiss artist and set designer H.R. Giger, best known for his incredible work on Ridley Scott's Alien, has passed away at the age of 74. Oscar-winning filmmaker Malik Bendjelloul (Searching For Sugar Man) has shockingly been found dead in his home at the age of 36. We've been big fans of Critics Round Up, an alternative aggregator for movie reviews, so we were pretty choked to hear it was shutting down...But now it appears, in Lazarus-fashion, the site will be sticking around. Above: Film Comment has made available (for 99 cents!) a digital anthology that "collects 35 years of analysis of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's films and profiles of his closest collaborators." This coincides with the "Fassbinder: Romantic Anarchist" retrospective at the Film Society of Lincoln Center starting May 16th. If you're lucky enough to attend, you may want to grab one of these. Check out the series' trailer:

Above: the new poster for Orson Welles' newly restored Othello, screening at the Film Forum. Occasioned by the restoration, Richard Brody writes on the film for The Front Row:
"Welles’s fundamental and lifelong story is that of a big man who gets his comeuppance. He himself was a big man who, in repeatedly filming his own downfall, displayed a kind of emotional masochism, a delight in his own humiliation, that he veritably trumpets in Othello. He films the entire play as a flashback, starting the movie with his own face in closeup: Othello, dead and being borne off for burial. The shock of self-destruction is matched only by the howl of self-pity, albeit a well-earned one—for Welles himself, soon after the world-historical artistic eruption of Citizen Kane, found his own strong and stubborn temperament fiercely countered by the plotters and the potentates of his field."

Co-directed by Mark Peranson and Raya Martin, La última película is several things at once: a documentary pretending to be fiction (and vice versa), a reflexively cinephillic ode to materiality, a deconstruction and/or exploration of disparate forms, a meditation on the (false) apocalypse of the world and cinema, and an (experimental) comedy. Its one-line synopsis is as follows: "a famous American filmmaker travels to the Yucatán to scout locations for his last movie. The Mayan Apocalypse intercedes." Inspired by Dennis Hopper's The Last Movie and its subsequent documentary cousin The American Dreamer (both 1971), La última película taps into a sort of artistic freedom of spirit, an all-too-rare ecstasy of moviemaking-as-adventuring. It is a manifesto by implication for the liberation of film from convention, and as thought and life. Starring American independent filmmaker Alex Ross Perry (The Color Wheel, Impolex) and Gabino Rodríguez (Greatest Hits, Together) as the filmmaker protagonist's Mexican guide,...

I can barely muster the energy to care, but I can't help but be drawn to the ugly buzz surrounding Cannes darling Blue is the Warmest Color and its collaborators (and I still haven't even seen the darn thing). The Playlist collects some new words from director Abdellatif Kechiche regarding his rocky feelings about starlet Léa Seydoux and the film itself:
"According to me, the film shouldn't be released, it has been soiled too much. The Palme d'Or had been a brief moment of happiness; then I've felt humiliated, dishonored, I felt rejected, I live it like I'm cursed."
Above: the Viennale has released the trailer for its 2013 edition entitled Illusions & Mirrors, directed by Shirin Neshat, starring Natalie Portman, and shot by Darius Khondji.

According to Abbas Kiarostami, Jafar Panahi has wrapped his second feature under house-arrest. Eric Kohn reports via Indiewire.

Tuesday night the Alamo Drafthouse screen was graced with funky bass licks, silly hillbilly accents, undead skateboard tricks, luchadores with suits, gratuitous zombie sex scenes and plenty of low-budget fake blood. If you are someone like me, or if you Are me, when you read that last sentence you are reminded that the Alamo is the best movie theatre ever. Yes, Tuesday night we screened the semifinalists of our Dismember the Alamo BloodShots 48-Hr Filmmaking Challenge, and there were some doozies! Over the weekend of October 15th- we assigned over 60 teams from all over the country a random genre, a weapon and the line “I’m losing my edge” then let them run wild making a short zombie movie! Metacafe has been kind enough to pick up some of our favorite shorts and showcase them on their site as part of their Shocktober series.
