... of A have a word (relatively speaking) to say about the environment? Sometimes I miss Al Gore. Here you go: Clinton, Obama offer big plans on global...
Film Comment had an article about 70s Polish film posters a few months ago. I don't recall the specifics with DoH, bu the overall gist was that government...
Thanks O intrepid one. I really meant "relatively speaking"! The main talk is about the economy/jobs, health care and the war. And why not, since they're both...
Bilge: Thanks for the info--indeed enlightening, as I thought it would be. : ) Just to continue the discussion, has anyone noticed that the doll head motif has...
I'm teaching a freshman high school English class this week, covering for a friend. This morning I was "lecturing" on The Lord of the Flies, the William...
Zach: Ye gads--I did a search for The Birds Polish poster, and found a copy from a seller in Germany listed at eBay at a "Buy it Now" price of $3,500. I don't...
Oscar: How cool. So Malick would be his "grandpa" by marriage to Ecky Wallace? Would Will Wallace be this kid's dad, then? Or does Ecky have other children who...
... Not sure if there are any fans of THE WIRE around these parts, but the final season of that series had a pretty funny joke about this *exact* thing, where...
I don't remember this being posted previously, but if so, sorry about the repeat. Just saw this at Malick's IMDB page. The director for the film is Carlos...
Thanks Tuan! I don't suppose you know the DVD scene number for that one? I rented the DVD tonight and I hope to show the kid's drawing to his classmates...
Wow. That does sound good. Marfa (West Texas on your maps) has been busy lately, with this one you mention, There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old Men. A...
Believe me, it's tempting to keep him after class and grill him. Wish I had him at the end of the day for that very reason. As it is, if I keep him after, he'd...
That is so cool! And to think, you were actually trying to get him to shut up :-). We're all waiting with bated breath for your next scoop! I totally see the...
This tells me a lot about you, that Lord of the Flies is one of your favorite books! : ) Talk about your clear-eyed visions of humanity ... I've had to think...
This tells me a lot about you, too. Like the first thing you do in the morning is hit this group! Agape Have you even had breakfast yet? :-) ... your favorite...
Checked out "Surprise Me" excerpts from the book at Amazon and a couple of pages about selecting images for movie posters happened to appear. Looks like a good...
Malick has been quietly mentoring University of Texas screenwriting students for years. At one point he had them work on adaptations of old novels now in the ...
I don't eat breakfast, which may well be why I don't feel so great for those morning classes. : ) All of us Americans check our emails first thing every...
If you're ever thinking about making a movie, it's one to buy. If you're referring to me as an intellectual, you're doing all the real intellectuals a grave...
This is interesting, to say nothing of ironic. The Cubist looking drawing of a Christmas tree was really a drawing of a fighter jet, or a stealth bomber, when...
PS - One more small, remembered tidbit. This kid got to go with his family to Australia and stay on the set of TRL for a few months. He remembers his two year...
After reading about Malick's feud with the original producers of TRL, which was basically over privacy issues, I'm not going to post anything else about our...
That was my point in saying I'm not buying the book--I don't delude myself that just because I've loved a few films and had "wanna be" dreams about filmmaking...
... jet into a Christmas tree. And the kid's art stays in the picture. LOL! I *suppose* that that drawing could be the top view of a F117A Nighthawk stealth...
... You know Tuan, I think that's *exactly* how the CIA turned photos of the loading area of that Baghdad milk factory into a military base receiving...
I'm afraid she's got you there Tuan. Our kid was only five years old when he did the drawing, maybe younger since I'm not sure when Malick asked him for it. At...
I've been corrected on my family history. It was probably my great-great grandmother whose husband was a circuit preacher on horseback. I'm not sure what...
