Nikki Finke says New Line tossed the above trailer for the Sex and the City movie on YouTube to distract attention away from the expected failure of The Golden Compass. Peter Knegt says, “I don’t know. It feels wrong.” I say: Could Michael Patrick King actually get away with editing together a highlight reel of Best Moments from the series (Best Brunch Scene, Best Shoe Fetishism Scene, Best Samantha Says/Does Something To Betray The Open Secret That This Was A Show Written By And For Gay Men Scene) and calling it a movie? Would there be any material difference between that, and the trailer above?

“A woman in my senior year film production class must have seen it, however. Her class project, a black-and-white homage to Kenneth Anger featuring her husband and his very proud penis slapped on top of the gas tank of a revving motorcycle in some sort of pre-Cronenbergian man-machine coitus scenario, also showed some visual, but even more aural evidence (the soundtrack faintly reverberated its biker rock as if being transmitted from behind that radiator) that Lynch’s movie, along with Anger’s, were among her influence.” Dennis Cozzalio answers Nine Questions About Eraserhead for industrious NYU student Violet Lucca.

Pamela Cohn sends news of a last-minute event involving one of our favorite independent filmmakers/crusaders for artist’s rights, taking place in Williamsburg tomorrow night. “Jem Cohen asked to do the event before a critical deadline in the NYC regulations on street photography and filmmaking and UnionDocs is serving as a venue for a tour of his unconventional street documentaries, as well as a forum on this important issue in NYC creative production.”

“The area of Mexico where we filmed Silent Light is plentiful with rattlesnakes. Of course, some people are afraid, but we had the correct shots, we wore boots and, if there were still rattlesnakes, then too bad. Probably people do it also because I set the example myself.” Just one of the many takeaways from this interview with Carlos Reygadas.
