Giggly

Ok, you MUST go and read my long-lost pal John’s review of the Ben and Jen trainwreck Gigli. John also makes some very good fonts that I once used on this site, which was how I first made his acquaintance, oh, about five years ago.

The Remains Of The Piano

Sorry for all the film-related blogging, but I couldn’t pass this one up. Eric Idle is set to direct his first film since The Rutles (1978). This one is entitled The Remains Of The Piano, and it’s a sendup of all the Merchant-Ivory English costume dramas. The cast sounds fantastic (Geoffrey Rush, Anjelica Huston, Billy Connolly), and according to this story, it’s being filmed in the UK and Canada. I wonder if I’ll see any of these folks wandering the SARS-free streets of Toronto later this summer? (via metagrrrl)

Just Say No To J.Lo and Ben!

I just heard about Jennifer Lopez and fiancé Ben Affleck’s plan to remake the classic film Casablanca with themselves in the lead roles. Luckily, there is a petition online to try to stop this madness. My favourite comment from one signatory: “Just kill them both and send me her body.”

Go and sign now.

The One-Shot Film

The film Russian Ark (2002) is the first film shot in one continuous 96-minute take. No cuts, no editing, no second chance. Wow. (via kottke)
