Erin at Steady Diet of Film has some notes on the Sundance lineup, including: “Why is rape as a weapon in war the new issue du jour? Hmm…”
Filmbrain reports that “the finishing touches are being applied to Benten Films’ second release, Quiet City & Dance Party, USA: Two Films by Aaron Katz.” The cover looks gorgeous.
Tom Hall recommends Mr. Warmth, John Landis’ documentary on Don Rickles, which premieres this Sunday night on HBO: “When I read that the documentary was included in this fall’s New York Film Festival line-up, I was skeptical of its place in the program. Having seen the film (and experienced the amazing press conference with Mr. Landis after the screening), I can say that its portrait of a lost era of American “show business” is both moving and deeply felt. And, obviously, laugh out loud funny.”
Burbanked profiles Chris Thilk, friend of SpoutBlog and proprietor of Movie Marketing Madness, for the series Tales of Blogging Passion.
“Just over 20 years ago, I thought of killing myself. Or rather, the thought was suddenly present in me, like an unwanted ghost.” So begins an amazing–and amazingly personal–post at Michael Atkinson’s Zero For Conduct, in which he talks of his own battles with said ghost in relation to the suicides of several slightly bolder-faced names, particularly Spalding Grey.

Hey thanks for the link.

I’m looking into the future and the 2008 Oscar nomination pool is going to be nothing but rape-rape-rape and how it affects men and governments. Blurgh.
