Tom Noonan's "What Happened Was..." and "The Wife"... →
In the mid-’90s Robin O’Hara and I produced Tom Noonan’s first two features, “What Happened Was…” and “The Wife.” We love them both, and for the last several years, neither has been available. In fact, “What Happened Was…” never made it to DVD. Now, through the good folks at Sundance and New Video, both are available on iTunes,...

occupiedterritories:
I don’t expect every critic to tell his life story (as I am selectively doing here), but I think it is only honest to make clear to readers: “Here I am. I am writing this. I am not infallible. I am just a human being like yourself. What I have to say and the way in which I say it was determined by my own background, my own experience, my own understanding (or lack...

Really just because it’s a beautiful piece of writing. And “oh wow” is something to give us all solace when the time comes.

sub-genre: What I'd Change in Indie Film →
Thanks, Brian, for including me. I promise to be mindblowing with the $1 million.
newmanbrian:
Over at IndieWire, Ted Hope and Christine Vachon have been asking some questions about indie film leading up to their Masterclass. One of them is “if you could change one truly changeable thing about the film industry, what would that be?” I can’t wait to see all of the ideas, there’s already…

Trailer: SHAME (dir. Steve McQueen) 2011
and finally Steve McQueen’s new film has a trailer! and it’s a good one. lots of running and thrusting and adjectives… the three crown jewels of any memorable trailer, really. this clip really does an effective job of capturing the film’s vibe and tortured energy, and on December 2nd i’d strongly encourage you to see what i mean.

lisaguido:
Slavoj Žižek visited Occupied Wall Street today - and I guess I’ll admit I’m totally into this as an obligatory platform for public intellectuals. THX DZ for sharing this: Žižek is a smart cookie, of course, but this might be the piece that pushes me along a little further with Occupy. From his…
