- The reviewer projects confidence, the critic displays curiosity –
- Dave Holmes Revisits 1987 Box Office – Dragnet has pretty much been forgotten and there’s no need to remind you of it here, unless you want to see the music video for the soundtrack’s lead single, “City of Crime,” in which Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks rap and dance. Does that sound like something you’d be interested in?
- David O. Russell interviewed by Louis CK – And then you said, "Go big or go home. What are we here for? This isn't like, Let's just hang out in this room for a while then go home. This is big shit." It was inspiring. I've actually taken to that myself. I've said it a few times on the set of my show—"Let's go, guys. Go big or go home. This is not worth doing in half measures."

Elokuvallisia huomioita maailmalta 7.02.2014 – 8.02.2014
- Downtown Los Angeles in film: ugly past, glorious future –
- Jay Leno’s Last ’Tonight Show’ and Lasting Legacy: Saving a Tear For the Third Act – He loved his monologue. He was absolutely a pushover with his guests. He had zero right angles. His safety guaranteed A-list stars, many who were wary of Letterman. Even when confronted with a situation where his disdain for contentious interviewing could have hurt him the most — e.g., having Hugh Grant on post-hooker incident — Leno hit it out of the park. It was his signature moment.
- Deep Inside Baz Luhrmann’s Creative Chaos (NYT Magazine) – Last fall, I proposed to Luhrmann that he give me a sense of what his life is like in the in-between time — the months of rebooting and reassessing, navel-gazing and nail-biting, that follow the birth of one film and precede the conception of another.
- The ’90s is a difficult era to accomplish on film in costumes –
Arvostelu: Nymphomaniac iskee tabujen kimppuun lerssi ojossa
Kriitikko Pauline Kael innostui vuonna 1972 teattereihin tulleesta Viimeinen tango Pariisissa -elokuvasta. Hän uskoi sen olevan uuden ajan airut, jonka myötä elokuvissa voitaisiin vihdoinkin käsitellä kaikkia aiheita suorapuheisesti. Lars von Trier tuntuu olevan tuon ajatuksen rintaperillinen ja Nymphomaniac sen uusin, pullein ilmentymä: neljä tuntia dialogia, traumoja ja tabuja. Siinä on paljon nielt… purtavaa.

- Academy Awards: Best Visual Effects Oscar Winners (Vimeo) –
- In Conversation:SNL’s Lorne Michaels — Vulture – If you look at our balcony at SNL, it is still classified as temporary. It’s scaffolding—scaffolding and some excess seats from Yankee Stadium. No one went, “Whatever you need.” Because broadcast has been in decline my entire professional career.
- Typeset In The Future: 2001: A Space Odyssey –
