I'm looking forward to it. And -- my bad! -- Polley HAS directed before. But this will noentheless be her Big One. She appeared with Christie in "No Such...

... We must also remember that Julie appeared in Sally Potter's all-female production THE GOLD DIGGERS which she must have done on scale or a low salary so...
I must admit this had me going -- seemed strange enough to be plausible. That is, until I realized Brad's "discovery" of Terrence Malick's draft of GREAT BALLS...
But what did Carax say about "Rocky II" -- or was that part also not true? Jack Angstreich On Apr 2, 2007, at 7:14 AM, Aaron Graham wrote: I must admit this...

A recent issue of the New York Ghost (http://nyghost.blogspot.com/) has a very real (I think, anyway) appreciation of ROCKY BALBOA. I was hoping to like the...
I think that's a little too intense for me. Brad's hoax was maybe a little esoteric and I'm more confused than amused. But I applaud the labor and I'm forced...

Fred, April Fool's day is very much recognized in France. For the record, ROCKY BALBOA was reviewed in the February issue of POSITIF by Fabien Baumann. JPC ......
Hoaxes are fun. Think of "F. for Fake." A couple of years ago I posted here about the discovery of a lost film by Maurice Burnan. I think it was Jonathan...

Well, I finally watched the out-take from "I Heart Huckabees" that has everyone buzzing, and all I can say is: wow! Who knows how Otto Preminger would have...
He's working on a new film right now. This footage was the talk of Hollywood for years before finally surfacing on YouTube. So nice to se that Lily Tomlin has...
I heard about this clip for awhile and finally watched it this morning, and, honestly, I was expecting much worse. I've heard about far worse going on, I guess...
The footage does bring up all sorts of questions about martinet directors and actors. I love Russell's movies (apart from Huckabee's, which I think is awful)....
