Also also, Huppert was hilariously disgusted when the prospect of her doing TV came up (the Q&A moderator, the head of Sony Pictures Classics, thought one of her upcoming 10(!!!) projects was a TV show, and she thoroughly and completely shut that down).

Also, and this not surprising, Isabelle Huppert does not suffer fools kindly. So many of the questions asked during the Q&A with her were maybe 5% question, 95% the person reading the entirety of their term paper on control, desire, Jeanne Moreau, etc., and after every single one of those, she asked "And your question…

So, I am 98% sure I was within spitting distance of digifreak at the Ebertfest screening of Elle. I did not talk with him, partly to maintain my mystique, partly because getting in that 2% range would lead to a mighty awkward conversation about AV Club commenters, and mostly because I wouldn't trust myself to say…

Riley Keough alone is probably going to kill me by the time the trailer comes out, so very.

Criterion apparently recorded my Ebertfest screening of To Sleep With Anger, so whenever that release comes out, you'll (almost certainly not) be able to hear me coughing repeatedly in the background of the included Q&A.

Do you think Richard Linklater takes Alex Jones' phone calls at this point? 'Cause you know Jones is calling him all hours of the day asking to visit the set of his next movie so he can share a big bowl of chili with Cate Blanchett.

Congratulations, Stephen, you are officially unbreakable. You'll be getting your poncho in the mail tomorrow and then you'll need to report to the nearest train station and hold your arms out for an indeterminate amount of time.

And "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" forever belongs to William H. Macy complaining that his wife has someone's ass in her cock.

I'm angry because "Bring it On Home to Me" belongs to the opening sequence of Ali and absolutely nowhere else.

Yeah, that first out-of-context cut to the fire is fucking rough.

You look at him in the Richard Linklater movies, where he's certainly loud but not saying anything too crazy, compared to now, and I think you have a case with that. Maybe the government officials capturing and probably torturing him for talking the truth about Substance D is what really fucked him up.

He was responsible for the line "Some motherfuckers always tryin' to ice skate uphill", which is no small feat.

And the film both are related to is 20th Century Women, baby!

On the episode Todd recorded of the Blank Check with Griffin and David podcast, about Munich.

If you're confused by who Jeffrey Wells is, he's a troglodyte masquerading as a film blogger. He once emailed James Mangold asking him for nude photos of Vinessa Shaw from the set of 3:10 to Yuma, and somehow has only gotten worse from there.

His story about Jeffrey Wells believing that leaving a hat at a hotel front desk and saying "I'll be back for this in a year" entails a reservation at that hotel for the next year.

Scott Tobias is writing the essay for Criterion's release of Lost in America!

Well, I finally sucked it up and watched The Last Airbender. It was garbage. I at least chased it down with Get Out and Somewhere, thank god.
