some of my favorite things #6
I’m not sure how this one slipped by me as a kid. I’m sure it played on television when I was a youngster–local Portland station Channel 12 was obligated by law to play John Wayne movies every weekend, I think–but I don’t ever remember watching it. If I did, I blocked it from my memory.

little white lies magazine #26
Now available in the new issue of Little White Lies magazine is my essay on director Spike Jonze and the “fabled filmmaking class of ‘99″ entitled “Taking Over the Asylum.” The issue is chock full of Jonze tidbits including an interview with the man. So check it out if you’re inclined. But act fast if you’re interested in snagging a hard copy version of the maga

grassroots gilliam
And speaking of filmmakers who know a little something about battling working in Hollywood, Terry Gilliam’s new film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, will be released in the UK on October 16. From the sudden, tragic death of star Heath Ledger to uncertainty regarding completion of the film to unenthusiastic distribution from Sony in the US–this film has not had an easy road of it. Gilliam and many of his fans have been eagerly getting the word out regarding its imminent release (as you’ll see below), trying to turn what was initially a tragedy into something of value. You’ll get no argument from me that Gilliam’s w

The Hollywood dream factory has always sold bullshit to the eager masses. Some years are worse than others, some decades shine brighter with genuine talent and provocative films. And sometimes, if the stars are right… real art may be conjured. I’m talking mainstream, commercial films here, just so we’re clear. Films made by the major studios. There’s just as much garbage in the pseudo-indie sphere as well and the genuine independent arena is a

president obama and the nobel peace prize
I’m not going to deny it: I love seeing Republicans turn inside-out over President Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize this morning. I think everyone is shocked. But after watching the cable news shows and scanning various web pages, it seems the Republican response–and that of many liberals as well–can be summed up below.
