sonicallllly: gus van sant after dropping his weird ‘psycho’ remake in 1998

FilmChaseUK: This Saturday and Tuesday Gus Van Sant’s remake of ‘Psycho’ is back on the big screen

moviechannelll: My Own Private Idaho (1991) dir. Gus Van Sant

georgeo92067811: My art teacher in junior high was a very out gay man and a mentor to me. He would tell us about Greenwich Village and show us the 'Village Voice' and describe his life, but it was all sort of subversive and below the radar.,Gus Van Sant,Life, Art, Man ,

Jfcdoomblade: They should let me make Gus Van Sant’s PSYCHO II

nimrodserling: Cool shot from Gus Van Sant’s Elephant, better luck next time you stupid robot

wcthunderesq: He should just Gus Van Sant the entire original series but with a strictly Korean-American cast.

posledice: Psycho | 1998 | Gus Van Sant

ChangoChutney: Gus Van Sant version is better anyway

marvinhaymaker: If anybody’s gonna remake Vertigo, it should be Gus Van Sant and shot in black & white.

ZozoSparkles: To Die For (1995) directed by Gus Van Sant

Artoo_Detwo: Fun fact: Gus Van Sant loved Elliott Smith's Either/Or album so much that he used three of its songs; "Between the Bars", "Angeles" and "Say Yes" along with a new song, "Miss Misery", into the Good Will Hunting OST.

fluffyman85: The more laughable version is the Gus Van Sant remake that prolongs his stumble it looks just not right...

laecter: 2. good will hunting (1997) dir. gus van sant

Mag1cH0ur: MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO starring River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves, directed by Gus Van Sant, opened on this day, March 27th, 1992..

T_jamesreagan: something just feels right about gus van sant's official website on his imdb profile being listed as "myspace"

scenomaniac_: In 2014, after Robin Williams died, the bench in the Boston Public Garden where he and Matt Damon had their conversation scene became an impromptu memorial site; people left flowers, quotes and various items at the bench. Title: GOOD WILL HUNTING (1997) Director: Gus Van Sant

MayorOfTV: Thanks to my local punk ass book jockeys I was able to watch the only two Gus Van Sant movies I hadn't seen before.

IndieWire: Gus Van Sant’s “Psycho,” eat your heart out: Another Alfred Hitchcock remake is en route.

alteredliszt: the thing is that it’s actually not that deep on either side. they remade psycho and that film literally fell into the void and it was GUS VAN SANT. the existence of a shit remake won’t take away from the original, it will make it better if anything.

getbentkid: Gus van sant on the set of goodwill hunting buddy ur lucky damon and affleck dont think guys r gay unless there wearing a rainbow hat

getbentkid: Gus van sant is secretly jealous of peter thiel

GergeNick: Did Gus Van Sant's Psycho not mean anything to anyone? Shouldn't it have been a life lesson for anyone considering remaking a Hitchcock film?

chry_salxsm: Gus van sant is my ex’s fav director and i’ve been watching his movies and I wanna tell my ex that i like them but I don’t wanna talk to him so im telling you guys :)

RobertB4173: Rewatching Gus Van Sant’s PSYCHO after hearing all the hoopla over the announced VERTIGO remake. Yes, yes, it’s magnificent.

hslichtman: As Gus Van Sant and Ben Wheatley have learned, remaking Hitchcock is a bad idea.

brion_iago: HAVE YOU NOT LEARNED NOTHING FROM GUS VAN SANT’S PSYCHO?!!

bermanmatt: I smell a Gus Van Sant's Psycho level hit!

BrianDuffield: Hire Gus van Sant to do VERTIGO or GTFO

mvbrat91: Again, dude who wrote Spencer. Have a little faith in the man. Besides, better him than Gus Van Sant. I doubt he'd write a shot for shot remake.

ZollyBecker: Gus Van Sant's Psycho is good.

Varkentine: But seriously, I don't know how well a remake of Vertigo is going to stand up next to the creative vision of Gus Van Sant's Psycho.

jarodhitchcock: Remember when Gus Van Sant remade Psycho shot for shot, in colour with Anne Heche & Vince Vaughn... Good times

Paul_Oyama: Gus Van Sant busting down the doors at Paramount like the Kool-Aid man with a shot-for-shot list already in hand

TheSpoilist: Sounds like a job for Gus van Sant

pearceduncan: Gus Van Sant is two years tardy in a shot-for-shot remake of Psycho 2

abzeronow: Another Gus Van Sant shot-by-shot remake?

ClintOCoast: I remember Gus Van Sant telling me he had an idea to remake PSYCHO a second time (!) - this time he'd give everything more of a punk rock look and film it completely in Color. Viggo wanted in. And he was dead serious. And the curious cat in me would've definitely have watched…

THOCSB2002: Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot (2018) dir. Gus Van Sant

joesview: You’d think they would have learned from Gus Van Sant’s ‘Psycho.’

CMRanapia: Having seen (and loved) the restrained splendour of LIVING this week, I'd have to grant this *might* work. But I also sat through Gus Van Sant's slick-but-pointless $60m re-shoot of PSYCHO, so the signs aren't encouraging.

UnamusedMarquis: I thought Gus Van Sant killed any idea of remaking Hitchcock films.

Lacanmunist: Gus Van Sant has the opportunity to make the funniest movie ever

Ceilidhann: I can't get too mad at this given that I'm that weirdo who thinks Gus Van Sant's Psycho remake is actually super fascinating and worth your time.

mopipomixer: Just because a new VERTIGO is the most creatively-bankrupt idea in human history doesn’t mean everyone should start piling on Gus Van Sant

ScottKacsmar: The Psycho remake was a total shitshow, and that was even done by a sometimes gifted director in Gus Van Sant. I didn't see the Rebecca remake but I heard it was terrible. Now something like Disturbia, a modern take on Rear Window? I'm cool with that. Give it your own spin.

getbentkid: matt healy said his favorite movie is gus van sant’s Elephant, never seen it just reporting the news

benok_castillo: They never learned from Gus Van Sant's Psycho.

xamat: I love critics is because I am a cultural snob. Favorite directors include Jim Jarmush, Kevin Smith, and Gus Van Sant (only the older films like My Own Private Idaho). Critics go against the grain of “what’s popular” and offer you an easy path to an elitist club 4/7

mikehgillespie: Hmm. "Vertigo" is one of those seminal filmic texts that's constantly reworked, sometimes by osmosis (see also "Yojimbo", "Rashomon", "Rio Bravo", "The Searchers", "The Conformist") and Gus Van Sant proved a sacred text can be remade in a formally exciting way.

JuddTaylor: So who's gonna make a shot-for-shot remake of Gus Van Sant's PSYCHO?

pichwita: Io Gus Van Sant che vede Jimin e dice: i want to film him lo capisco. Fra io so cosa provi Btw this feels as if Namjoon, Jimin, Pdogg e The Weeknd avessero avuto un bambino, this is the baby

BritishGQ: Let's hope this Hitchcock remake is better than Gus Van Sant's Psycho.

BarryHartigan: Remaking Hitchcock can be a very fraught business as I'm guessing Gus Van Sant could tell you...

vot4044: Need an elliot smith biopic directed by gus van sant in this lifetime

psychojography: Stephen Soderbergh mashed up Hitchcock's Psycho (1960) & Gus Van Sant's much maligned 1998 remake (or 'replica') into one film called Psychos in 2014. The new Vertigo's substitions may reveal something about the original. But what a costly way to do that

bill_yousman: A remake of... Vertigo? At least Gus Van Sant's shot-for-shot Psycho could be considered sort of an intellectual/artistic experiment. But... I don't know...

alexL_E_I: man i wish film twitter was around when Gus Van Sant announced he was doing a shot for shot remake of Psycho

benlearyy: I’m gonna be so gus van sant coded when I go west this summer

bettyandrita: Before I finally fall asleep, the coolest thing in Gus Van Sant’s Psycho is him going crazy on the sound effects during the explanation of Norman Bates’ crossdressing to the point where it kinda just drowns it out

DuffyEricka: i knew this story from the joyce maynard book and gus van sant film, to die for

CinemaInFrames: MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO (1991) Cinematographer: Eric Alan Edwards Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1 Director: Gus Van Sant

owenvpatnaude: let gus van sant direct shot for shot that bitch

dadehayes: Let's just hope it's not shot-for-shot like Gus Van Sant's Psycho

ryanwdoyle: Gus Van Sant warned everybody of this.

HoeffnerJoe: Gus Van Sant literally already did this so you guys didn’t have to! I’m so tired!!!

UsagiYohimbo10: They should do a pointless shot for shot remake of it like Gus Van Sant did for Psycho

CMRanapia: I guess nobody learned a damn thing from the critical and commercial belly flop that was Gus Van Sant's slick-but-pointless shot-for-shot remake of PSYCHO.

normwilner: ... as someone who had a truly great conversation with Gus Van Sant about the perversity of his PSYCHO remake, I am genuinely curious to see what happens next.

mondosalvo: As someone who watched Gus Van Sant's Psycho redo, I urge you to NOT.

JustinWainioArt: As a huge Gus Van Sant movie lover, I’m disappointed in myself for not watching this sooner. It’s sad and wonderful. Great cast. Great story.

sjmillerart: I became inoculated to slow, plot light movies after giving Gus Van Sant’s Gerry my full and complete attention for a college paper. that movie is 100 minutes and feels like three hours.

rickyshore: Having a normal one, worshipping movie stars on a random afternoon for no reason. One of the worst movies too, at least for Gus Van Sant. I’ve never even been able to re-watch it. (The below tweet is literally just viral marketing for Affleck’s new movie btw)

Poem of the day

Wilfrid Scawen Blunt Poem
A Woman-s Sonnets: Ii
 by Wilfrid Scawen Blunt

Nay, dear one, ask me not to leave thee yet.
Let me a little longer hold thy hand.
Too soon it is to bid me to forget
The joys I was so late to understand.
The future holds but a blank face for me,
The past is all confused with tears and grey,
But the sweet present, while thy smiles I see,
Is perfect sunlight, an unclouded day.
...
