very indy - wasn't it produced just to pitch the movie to producers? (It may have been the first to do that, actually)

Sarah Polley was in Hanson? huh.

the lumpy Irish dude from The IT Crowd is playing the Travolta role?
Brave man…

everything I've read suggests that they where friendly, but never very close (Eisner was a famously generous and warm man) so it was galling to hear Miller push the line that he was Eisners protege and anointed successor, just to sell the movie. Again, after Will wasn't around to contradict him.

…or disapprovingly glared at him with the full weight of Will Eisner, the Greatest American Artist in the Form. To-mayto, to-mahto.

"And Frank Miller happens to be fucking crazy."

the monkey emojis and misspelling of guerrilla is my favourite bit.

switching her with that pouty French girl should have been the obvious first idea.

notice that he waited until Will died before he made the movie…

did that happen? That would be awesome…

I'd say the the use of non-linear narrative in The Limey is more than a bit ambitious. And it's not just style without substance - it makes a very powerful character and narrative point. That he then used that technique - to a lesser extent, admittedly - in his mainstream Hollywood movies is also very ambitious. And…

"I found America strange, going from radical politics to finding myself at radio stations at 7 in the morning. You’ve got to be polite. I met a lot of DJs with ponytails."

I wasn't a fan of either Lilith Fair or Sarah McLachlan* but I respect her enormously for putting her career on the line and organizing the thing in the first place. It could have crashed and burned - she was told repeatedly that it would - but she made it work. We need more like her.

ha ha ha… rrrrrrrrrRRRRRAAAAArrrr….

"…would push conservatives over the edge to insanity"

that sounds brilliant. ATK/Cooks is fantastic - some of my best recipes come from them.

jesus…

The Limey & Out of Sight would be in my top 20. And you have to admit, his run of Ocean's Eleven; Traffic; Erin Brockovich; The Limey; Out of Sight is well above mediocre.

"like a frat bro dripping his ultimate-frisbee ball sweat into your futon."

John Richards on KEXP plays it quite often and he always drops it in at exactly the right moment. Never fails to get cranked.
