^^ THISSSSS

i might interview him for this one

Mamet? Tim Allen? Ricky Jay? Chuck Lidell?

mamet

should i ask him if he ever considered going under the name david manmeat?

first question

ask him about our generation's greatest philosopher thomas sowell

slocks tho seriously can you just ask him a ton of shit about ronin

There's a profile of Mamet in the current GQ, which tends to do profiles of folks who have some kind of publicity obligation but hate interviews, so they barely say anything and get a nice portrait photograph out of it (see DeNiro, Damon, etc.).

I'd be curious to know what Mamet thinks of Neil LaBute. Protege or ripoff?

what does he think of the wicker man remake

slocks tho seriously can you just ask him a ton of shit about ronin

be so tempted to. i'm gonna butter him up by asking about "on directing film" which is actually a pretty good book even though it's more like "a really tendentious approach to writing screenplays" than anything else. still it's helpful.

After seeing this, I want to see Tim Allen tackle Glengarry or Speed-The-Plow. He does just fine.

Good to see Mamet break his rule that every shot must be static. Big step up for him as a director, though the fights could still use a little more ooph.

That main guy, he's great.

Tim Allen, he's fine.

Mantegna, Ricky Jay, they get their good lines.

s1ocki how did the interview go?

this interview was pretty interesting: http://www.kcrw.com/etc/programs/tt/tt080430david_mamet

about five different people have recommended me his directing book, and none of them were rebecca pidgeon.

p.s. me -> Rebecca Pidgeon -> Yorgo Constantine -> Kevin Bacon

/suzy

filmwise, will never top Things Change

still roffling

i liked this movie a lot, despite the parts that didn't make sense and the semi-corny ending.

caek i'd recommend "his" book about acting, big-time

thanks! I will try to pick up a copy of that. I'm directing for the first time this summer (just a little one act about watergate) and haven't really figured out how to work with real actors.

this was great until the last five minutes.

why would everybody go to such ridic lengths to get chiwetel to compete, anyway? it's not like he had a recognizable name that would sell tickets or anything.

btw, i couldn't stop thinking of emily mortimer as jack donaughey's 30 Rock fiancee. "my bones!"

I had that in lars and the real girl. Does she do an American accent in this?

yep

i totally missed jennifer greys cameo in this.
