#DYK? The idea of for 1989's LOOK WHO'S TALKING came to writer/director Amy Heckerling after she gave birth to her daughter. And thinking no male studio exec would greenlight a movie about a new mom, she thought "Well, what if the baby is voiced by the guy from Die Hard?"

QP Your Painted Muse

Muse in Motion

#Muse #Color #Expression #Portrait #Alive #Paint #Movement #Creative #Energy #BreakTheFrame #AIArt #SynthArt #AIArtCommunity #Creative
A powerful portrait of a woman emerging from the painted canvas itself, her arm stretching beyond the wooden frame as if ready to step into our world. Swirls of vivid color dance across her skin and face, blending seamlessly with the background in electric blues, fiery oranges and soft purples. Her gaze is calm yet commanding, as if she knows she is both the muse and the maker. A celebration of motion, identity and the living spirit of art.

CLUELESS origin story according to my conversation for #breaktheframe w/ writer/director Amy Heckerling.

Jane Austen's meets Heckerling's fascination w/ endlessly optimistic people. A lotta Emma Woodhouse and a dose of Jeff Spicoli from FAST TIMES (2/?)

On that, my favorite face in Professor Julie Dash's body of work is the late, immortal Cora Lee Day in DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST. You may also remember her as Tina Turner's grandmother in WHATS LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT.

CLUELESS trivia via my conversation for my new book BREAK THE FRAME (May 22) w/ writer/director Amy Heckerling.

The Tai-makeover was inspired by the TV Series GIDGET, where Gidget makes over a new girl in school who then catches the eye of Gidget's BF.

"A Gay Clueless" is a perfect descriptor for Jamie Babbit directed BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER. I love both movies but CLUELESS is not fall on the floor hilarious like CHEERLEADER is.

I got to talk to Jamie Babbit for my new book. A complete honor #breaktheframe
'I wanted to make a gay Clueless': Jamie Babbit on how her lesbian comedy But I'm a Cheerleader became a cult classic
In 1999, this unlikely rom-com set at a conversion therapy camp and starring Natasha Lyonne was hated by critics. But it's since been recognised as both groundbreaking and hilarious.
