In Case the AFI's Relevance Was Ever in Doubt...

http://www.afi.com/events/Bruckheimer/default.aspx

After the thousandth "100 Years, 100 Blanks" (which, in essence, describes the cinema of Jerry Bruckheimer), the AFI is reasserting its relevance with a celebration of the cinema of Jerry Bruckheimer. All repetitiveness in this blog post is intentional, much like the repetitiveness of the cinema of Jerry Bruckheimer.

There's a slim chance this is actually the AFI's sneaky way of going all Goodfellas on the auteur behind Armageddon (which, incidentally, is in the much-worshipped Criterion Canon—er, Collection). After glad-handing the upper echelons of Hollywood royalty, he's escorted into a room lined with plastic sheeting and receives two in the back of the head. A cinephile can dream... while waiting in line to see Jake Gyllenhaal looking artificially implanted and uncomfortable in The Prince of Persia.
