![]() is very good and he deserves his moment.ĭamn, that is a pretty cool shot. I wonder if this role was written for Tucci - would’ve been good. Stanley Tucci “presented” Damien’s first feature. You’re a dick who pushes people to the extreme, and to make that clear, you call people “faggot” and “spic.” But you also have a soft side… I mean, he’s good, but this is like begging for a Best Supporting Actor nom. Some girl just sent me her film on Vimeo and it was pretty lousy - should I tell her? She’s young and will improve and may appreciate the honesty. I love that line from the trailer: “The two most dangerous words in the English language are: ‘Good Job.’” I wonder when that’s gonna come up. Sorta what I was thinking before about knowing from the first shot. In four notes he knows if a musician is good or not. Simmons character has a pretty great ear for music. I wonder if Miles will ever get a flashback of some kid actor getting their face scraped by a tiger or something… How did Miles get those scars on his face? Remember in Indiana Jones 3 when they show how the young Harrison Ford got HIS scar with the whip hitting his chin? That was River Phoenix, right? I wanna see Inherent Vice. ![]() I’m rooting for him because he works his ass off to earn it. I gotta say, in the first scene, this kid’s wish is clear: He wants in this band, he wants to be great. Simmons is so great in this, but he’s kind of hamming it up here, isn’t he? OK, let’s wait and see.Ī shitty manager I had once told me, “Every movie is a wish.” Or should be. I watched this scene already, it was on Indiewire or something as a clip. A long shot of Miles Teller expertly playing the drums. I judge a movie by its opening shot and this one… well, it’s pretty good, I guess. (It did win the Sundance Grand Jury prize and the Audience Award.) Sony Pictures Classics, huh? Well, they’re doing a lot more press for Whiplash than Roadside Attractions did for me. (Terrible title.) Suspicious how little I’ve heard about it… Later tonight I’m seeing Camp X-Ray with Kristen Stewart about Gitmo. I liked this and that bit…” Tell me they’re great, “the best movie of the year” or “genius”, and they either better be or I’m coming after you. I think my problem is: tell me these movies are fine, I’ll be all like, “Yeah, it was pretty good. I’m gonna find her and thank her after this movie ends. ![]() There’s another critic I know named Lisa Rosman, who liked my movie she said she was coming to this screening on Twitter, but I can’t see her. I heard there were three people in the Life of Crime press screening when I had mine six weeks ago… but there’s about 25 in here now for this movie. “It’s not a bad picture, but it’s not much more than okay, either.” He’s reading his Kindle. ![]() Kurt Loder is sitting next to me and he gave my last movie, Life of Crime, a shitty review. Funny how everyone stays apart from one another. All the seats are comfy, and everyone has like a group of four seats to themselves. You’re not getting me again, “Sundance and Cannes.” And “Twitter.” And “Rotten Tomatoes.” Every year, someone who is not me has a movie that is declared brilliant and that director gets to make whatever shit he wants for the rest of his life. So here it comes: this year’s Beasts of the Southern Wild, this year’s Fruitvale Station ….
