Edward Norton | Film | Interview | The A.V. Club
http://www.avclub.com/content/node/57162 While I haven’t seen many of Ed Norton’s films, he always comes across as an edgy, intelligent actor. Judging from this terrific interview, he’s an edgy, intelligent man.
The Indexed Trilogy
http://index.echostation.com/trilogy/introindex.htm I’m a Star Wars geek, but even I think this guy needs to get out more. A shot-by-shot index of small background trivia and continuity goofs that comprises the Original Trilogy and its two bastard re-releases. What do you want to bet his other hobby involves sewing slave girl outfits for his blow-up dolls?
Half Nelson (2006) – IMDb
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468489/ The sour (or rather, overly sweet) taste in my mouth after that last movie made me long to revisit Half Nelson. It also stars Ryan Gosling, but this movie’s a no holds barred, unsentimental look at life, and is superior in every way to The Notebook. Gosling is spectacular, and the writing and acting […]

This is an interview with the latter two, conducted (in usual View Askew fashion) by an interviewer who wants to be funnier than his subjects, and comes across as an annoying fan. I’m not sure if it’s Kevin Smith himself, but the toilet /mean humour at play […]

Scott, part umpity-billion: Way back in the early days of the Hollywood summer – the third week in May, to be precise – America’s finest critics trooped into screening rooms in Cannes, Los Angeles, New York and points between, saw Ron Howard’s adaptation of Dan Brown’s best seller, and emerged […]

This has been my favourite NFB short for years, and few can rival it for sheer absurdity and off-the-wall marginalia. Take, for instance, an older couple with the strangest hobbies imaginable, add a dash of impending nuclear holocaust, and top with the […]

The Canadiens/Leafs rivalry is a New World parallel to Glasgow’s Auld Firm, but on a national scale, and with a far reaching political aspect thrown in. Imagine, then, the horror of a boy […]
