 Audio slide show from the New York Times. Well worth you time. LA Shorts Fest 07/24/2009
 Made it to the opening night of the LA Shorts Fest last night. Four pleasantly solid celebrity shorts screened. Press on the event here and here. Looking forward to the TSROAW screening this Sunday at 10 p.m. If you're in Los Angeles, please come support our film! And if you're not already, become a fan of the film on Facebook.

Words can't describe the brilliance of this film. Nor can brief YouTube clips, especially because the oddly sitcom-y style at first glance begs for a laugh track. But you'll get over that quickly as the crushing blow of this one gets going. Highly recommended stuff from Mike Leigh, natch. Noah Baumbach 07/17/2009
Finally got around to watching Margot at the Wedding last night which, based on everything I heard I expected to hate. But no! Thought it was overlooked and interesting - the complexity of the characters was admirable and while I'm not in love with Nicole Kidman, thought the acting was generally pretty good. The trailer doesn't do it justice but here it is for a taste anyway. Anyone strongly agree or disagree with me? MJ 07/15/2009

Some updates to the PROJECTS section of this website, for those of you keeping score. More video to be posted in the next 48 hours, I swear it.  Aaron Ruell 07/08/2009

Related to the post below. "If it explodes we'll have at least one spectacular image." Via Kottke. Sarah Palin: Grizzly Woman 07/03/2009
It's stunning to me, watching Sarah Palin resign, how much she reminds me of Timothy Treadwell, the titular Grizzly Man of Herzog's film. They have an amazingly similar naive and simplified sense of the world and their place(s) in it. Maybe it's an Alaska thing. You decide: Edit: As usual Josh Marshall nails it. He writes: Okay, we're getting our first indication of what happened. It seems like a colossal sulk on Palin's part, or perhaps better to say an effort on her part to ingeniously combine anti-liberal media bias agitation with Christianist politics by portraying herself as having been crucified by the liberal media. Said Palin, according to a reporter at the press conference, "You are naive if you don't see a full-court press on the national level, picking apart a good point guard." |
