Dilbert-creator Scott Adams not keen on Les Miserables

Wed, 16 Jan 2013 12:04:08 +0000

The cartoonist reviews the film on his website:

“In a pivotal scene in Les Miserables, one of the main characters finds himself in a sewer, up to his nostrils in human waste, with a bullet in his torso, while being pursued by the authorities who have just killed all of his friends. This was my favorite scene in Les Miserables because I could relate to it. Watching that fucking movie feels exactly like being up to your nostrils in human waste, with a bullet in your torso, after the government has killed all of your friends. The main difference is that the movie is longer. Much, much longer.” More

From the LA Times:

‘On the Golden Globes red carpet Sunday night, the real Michael Haneke was asked at last about his hard-partying online doppelganger. “My students said there was a weird Twitter account,” the 70-year-old Haneke, who teaches at the Vienna Film Academy, said through a German translator. “But I’m not that interested in that kind of thing. It’s not for me.”’ Read more

Mon, 14 Jan 2013 10:04:00 +0000

The pitch was simple: “John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Blues Brothers, how about it?” But the film The Blues Brothers became a nightmare for Universal Pictures, wildly off schedule and over budget, its fate hanging on the amount of cocaine Belushi consumed. From the 1973 meeting of two young comic geniuses in a Toronto bar through the careening, madcap production of John Landis’s 1980 movie, Ned Zeman chronicles the triumph of an obsession.

Here Is What Happens When You Cast Lindsay Lohan in Your Movie:

Here’s a terrific long read from the New York Times on the making of The Canyons:

Lohan headed for the Orlando. She pounded on doors until she found director Schrader’s room. As she banged on his door, she texted him manically. Schrader could hear her crying but wouldn’t let her in. He texted her instead.

“Lindsay, go home.”

From Coming Soon, here’s one of the first still’s from Frank, the Jon Ronson-scripted film starring Michael Fassbender in the title role, which is apparently only loosely based on Frank Sidebottom.

This is terrific:

May Contain Spoilers is a visual celebration of cinema through the medium of miniature clay models and dioramas. Each image is inspired by a particular scene or a promotional poster from a well known, or sometimes not so well known dark genre film.

The collection includes interpretations of American Psycho (Mary Harron), Se7en (David Fincher), The Exorcist (William Friedkin), Dawn of the Dead (George A Romero), and many more.
