Sklar's indefatigable, but his cachet has waned. Where his early paintings now sell for millions, he can barely give his more recent work away.

"We were filming in London, so we were in our own beds at night. That's not often the case. Middle-earth, you're not in your own bed."

A time jump resets this show's character dynamics with Rue (Zendaya) working off her debt to a drug dealer and seemingly nearly all the series' other female characters engaged in sex work of some kind. Sam Levinson's vision of a woman's life is pretty depressing.

Fiona Dourif is on a rare sabbatical from her stellar turn as Dr. Cassie McKay, filling her time with a new role in a suburban horror movie.

In the new film, he plays a hit man named Mike who is attempting to leave the business when he's framed for murder. He's sleeping with loan shark Nick's wife Alice, so Nick tricks him into pulling off one last job.

A small-budget cult classic can be just as iconic as a major studio film if it speaks to audiences and evokes strong feelings.

Faces of Death follows a pathologist trying to understand what happens when we die, subjecting himself and the viewer to a series of 'snuff' films depicting violent deaths.

"Cinematic Immunity" offers a workers'-eye view of Hollywood on the Hudson, revealing the intricate dynamics of filmmaking in New York City from 1954 to 9/11.

Then he was like, 'You probably can't watch any of those quite yet, but there is this one movie I directed called Hugo.' A couple days later, in the mail, I received a copy of Hugo on Blu-ray from his office, which is really crazy.

It's nice that you are asking about props, because they're not really acknowledged, says Jode Mann, a TV prop master in Los Angeles. When Mann worked on the children's comedy show Pee-wee's Playhouse in the 1980s, she got a call from its star, Paul Reubens, who said he was nominating her for an Emmy. It was only after Mann told her mother and promised to thank her if she won that Reubens called back to say he couldn't nominate her because there's no category for you.

In a big studio-backed awards season, it's rare to see much overlap between the Film Independent Spirit Awards and the Oscars. A west coast cousin of sorts to the Gotham Awards, the Indie Spirits often celebrate the movies that the Academy skipped over with its nominations. The ceremony itself is also more fun (there's some day-drinking involved) than the more staid guild awards that dot the homestretch ahead of the similarly serious Academy Awards.
