The Rocky History of Philip Roth Novels Being Adapted to the Big Screen
29 October 2016 6:00 AM, PDT | Scott Feinberg | See recent Scott Feinberg news »
Philip Roth (Courtesy: Eric Thayer/Reuters
By: Carson Blackwelder
Managing Editor
When it comes to acclaimed American authors, Philip Roth is right up there with the best of them—so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that his work has been translated from page to screen numerous times and to varying degrees of success.
Over the years, seven of the novelist’s books have been adapted to the big screen—with two of them coming out in 2016 alone: Indignation and American Pastoral. Before that, though, there was Goodbye, Columbus, Portnoy’s Complaint, The Human Stain, Elegy (based on The Dying Animal), and The Humbling.
Goodbye, Columbus (1969)—which starred Ali MacGraw and Richard Benjamin—earned Arnold Schulman a nomination for best adapted screenplay and was generally well-received by critics and did quite well at the box office.
Portnoy’s Complaint (1972)—which was adapted by Ernest Lehman—didn’t fare that »

Video Essay Details The Art Of Cursing In Cinema
25 October 2016 2:32 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Ah, swear words! We’re taught from such a young age to abstain from using profane language that the desire to use it becomes almost inherent the older we get. An f-bomb here, a slip of the tongue there, these words have been cultivated to be an important part of our modern day vernacular, no matter how taboo they’ve been considered historically.
In film, swear words are the difference between a PG-13 or an R-rating; they’re the unforgettable final line muttered by a scorned Rhett Butler in “Gone With The Wind,” or in a whirlwind performance by Ben Kingsley in Jonathan Glazer‘s terrific “Sexy Beast.” In a new video essay from Now You See It, we learn more about the aesthetics of cursing in film.

Russell Crowe, Matt Damon Toast Ridley Scott at American Cinematheque Fete
14 October 2016 11:55 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
If director Ridley Scott didn’t get his fill of lifetime achievement recognition during last year’s awards season, when his film “The Martian” was on a crash course with Oscar night, the American Cinematheque was ready and willing to oblige.
The org honored Scott with its 30th annual honor Friday night. Actor Russell Crowe served as host of the evening’s festivities.
“At this point it’s very clear that Ridley Scott is a filmmaker with the talent to do anything he wants in any genre you care to mention,” Crowe said. “From film noir to fantasy, from comedy to crime, from period pieces to the distant future, this man can do it all … He not only knows the language of film, he speaks all of its dialects. He speaks camera, editing, grip, gaffer, hair, makeup, all of those things — and he’s getting better at speaking actor.”
