That is a lot of holy shit…a lot of tense moments. Feels pretty wrong to be entertained by something so dickish, though. I like the way he almost sideswipes a car right out of the gate.

It's the best, and effortlessly funny, too…

Oh, yeah, definitely. I didn't really like either of the films although the trailers were fun and it wasn't the worst day at the movies.

They show her getting the job at the end of the doc, actually…it was probably as a double for Lucy Lawless that she got an in…

My mom and I watched all the Fast Time episodes and loved them…and, unrelated, I used to chat a lot with John Cameron Mitchell when he was just creating Hedwig and I was serving him burritos at a take-out place. We started talking because I recognized him from Party Girl, which vaguely stunned him…

Arizona Dream…I don't remember it being interspersed with the film clips, but there are a few markedly different cuts ofthe film:

Oh wait, I knew I was forgetting something. Death Proof. Fucking A. I have never been so thrilled by a car chase/ stunt in a film, and a lot of that is the CGI-free quality   of what is one of the most amazing stunts of all time. Not to sound like I'm really into stunts, which I'm not, but Double Dare is a great doc…

I am normally bored by car chases too, which is maybe why it takes something as ridiculous as a dune buggy going up and down steps to make what just may be my favorite chase scene ever, from Scorchy. Unfortunately, this clip has crappy music slapped over it—I don't know if the original music survives on any home video…

I just caught a screening of that two nights ago, and I was loving every minute of that build-up. Takes a lot of nerve and confidence to let it play out for so long. But I alsways thought of the lead-up as very much part of the scene, not just coming before it. Also hard to watch that scene and not think of Vincent…

Done by Claude Lelouch, the director of A Man and a Woman…he was allegedly jailed after a screening, and it was (I think this is right) not screened publicly again.

sarcasm detector…hit it…yours is not working.

Just read the article—what the hell. "Not that great"? "Plodding"? Foxes is all about the look and the feel, the langor and the details, the groovy tapestry of the era, burnished to a golden glow. Screw you, "not great." (Respectfully.)

I did a paper in college on cautionary tale films, with Foxes and Over the Edge as my subjects. I love the shit out of both of those films. I just rewatched Foxes a few weeks ago.

"
a description of Logan runs"— nice.

All I remember of the movie is that I thought it sucked and there was a magic fire coming out of the sand that looked like someone had just buried a sterno in the desert. That and my pastor came around to all our sunday school classes to tell us to boycott the as-yet unreleased movie. And I got into a big debate with…

Still want to see a zombie movie that tells the story of Jesus's resurrection. In fact, Zombie: Resurrection would make a perfect mall-ready title.

I was excited to see this too unltil I discovered it's playing the Portland festival as a digital screening. Better to wait for the Blu Ray than have all those pixels spread out across a big screen. Bummer.

Richard Davies was truly the keeper from that pair, with or without the Moles, but I loved Cardinal. When I got a computer I remember having to convert my money to Deutchmarks or whatever for an elusive 7" that was the last piece of the completist puzzle. It showed up a year later. Anyway, I am trepidatiously psyched…

Scott Miller and Aimee Man were working on an album together, I think maybe of Game Theory/ Loud Family reworkings, but it never panned out bc of label issues or money or something. Which is too bad, bc he may have gotten some due in the wake of that.

Maybe now the Newswire can stop filling the space with casting decisions for hypothetical movies. Or any movies.
