in Hits & Misses by
“Frame it up like this. I’m trying to make jodie look a little less Dyke-ish.”

Jonathan Demme
Director, producer, Go-Go banger.
February 22, 1944 – April 26, 2017.
Aged 73 years.

Most recognized for: Although he directed several feature films, documentaries, and even a few episodes of Saturday Night Live, one work overshadows them all: 1991’s “The Silence of the Lambs.” The scarring Buffalo Bill dance scene introduced Joe 6-pack to the practice of “tucking”… and haunts us all to this day.
