"Midnight Cowboy shattered many barriers. Men like these—hungry, hollow outcasts—had never been depicted with such honesty and directness in a mainstream American movie. Neither had this vision of New York—cold, bleak, corrupted. The acting is superb—not just Voight and Hoffman, but a small troupe of brilliant supporting actors—the screenplay terse and powerful, the camerawork fluid, the music poignant and engaging. Even the costumes are memorable. Still, no one expected the movie to make a dime. On the way to their first screening before the executives at United Artists, the chronically anxious Schlesinger turned to Hellman, his producing partner, and asked, 'Really, Jerry, do you think anyone in their right mind will pay good money to see this rubbish?'"
Excerpting Glenn Frankel's "Shooting Midnight Cowboy: Art, Sex, Loneliness, Liberation and the Making of a Dark Classic"

It’s a miracle! He can walk without support again. Never saw that coming. 5-29 years. Will be interesting to see what the sentence is and where he serves it. Not to mention he faces more charges elsewhere. A little bummed that he was exonerated on some charges but the guilty verdict was very satisfying.
He got railroaded. You can’t prosecute regrets.
I don’t like imdb’s new format. Before it seemed like the place to go to get information. Now it seems like they’re trying to sell me something. Are companies paying to have their show or movie more prominently featured? Joker came out in October and yet it’s always the first thing I see when the page opens. I don’t need clip art but it would be nice if they had a small list of what’s opening for the weekend. Instead, let’s see what 12 year old TV show or 20 yr old movie streaming on Amazon or imdb! We’ll put schedules up for anyone who’ll pay us but be sure to leave out Hulu, Disney+ and Netflix.
