We taught Houdini how to love
Greatest. Line. Ever.

Scorsese
As I recall, Scorsese didn't shoot <em>No Direction Home</em>, he was given filmed segments from Dylan's cadre, and put the finished work together.

Double your pleasure…
It seems like you and Scott are seeing a lot of the same films. Accident or design?

The value of a review to an artist
One of the people I consider a mentor described it to me like this: "A review can be a useful tool for selling a ticket. That's it."

Viva Tom Laughlin
I'm probably alone in hoping that Viva Laughlin is actually about Billy Jack trying to start a hippie school while being hassled by Wolverine, with both of them breaking into song, right?

Puppetmaster
I'd rather see an interview like this one, where the subject is open, honest, and contrary, than another one like Steve Zahn's where every project is "fabulous, really great" to work on.

Aldo Mania
What, no love for Aldo Kelrast, the Captain Kangaroo-lookalike who stalked Mary Worth? Aldo's Johnny Walker-fueled demise after driving off a cliff touched many people deeply, Onion AV Club.

Dogme
Dumb question, I'm sure, but have you seen "The Five Obstructions?" Lars von Trier has his mentor, Jørgen Leth, remake his short film "The Perfect Human," five times, using a variety of, well, obstructions. In the first one, no edit can be longer than 12 frames: half a second. Leth initially…

von Laughsalot
That's two! Next you're going to be accusing Uwe Boll of jousting with milkmaids behind the barn.

Dancing Clown
Click on the dancing clown? Nice MST3k ref, Noel!
