"Edge Of Outside"

A friend sent a link to a friend of mine on this documentary called "Edge Of Outside."

Turner Classic Movies is showing it on July 5th and it features footage and interviews on some of all time greatest filmmakers: Kubrick, Cassavettes, Fuller, and Peckinpah. The documentary not only shows their struggles and triumphs, but how they tie into much of what cats like Scorsese, Sayles and Spike Lee do now.

Hell, I'd watch it just for the interview with Thelma Schoonmaker

Scorsese's long time editor and the best film editor ever. The woman literally and figuratively changed the way I dream.

Unfortunately, thanks to what Viacom hath wrought and Comcast will not make right, our side of San Francisco cannot get TCM without paying a small fortune every month. Fine, I'll wait for it come out on video like I do with "The Sopranos," I'm Job with a DVD player. But to all of you who have TCM on your basic cable? Enjoy and let me know.
