“I don’t really think, Sean, that you need to know about my various sexual liaisons. Or that anyone else needs to. I did write about them. I filled a hundred pages of Moleskine notebooks with my one-night stands, my affairs. But I decided they didn’t belong in a professional memoir. First of all, these are real people we’re talking about. Many of them were enjoyable. Some were abject failures. My wife said to me when she read the pages, ‘Of what purpose is this in a memoir? Of what purpose is this other than to titillate?’ The point is, I never see them. It’s because I have nothing in common with them, frankly. And probably didn’t at the time. I could not provide a sensible reason why I married these women. The thing is, in the case of my marriages, it takes two people to fuck up a marriage. It wasn’t simply the fault of these women that I lost interest in them and realised they were insignificant relationships. Which is how I look at them right now–as being insignificant. I see them as blips.”
~ William Friedkin On Cutting Interviewers Off At The Sass
“I have to imagine from Mr. Spielberg’s point of view, the paradigm shift in the 1970s was just the new “normal,” a “halcyon era” from which we are straying in the 21st century–because theatrical exhibition is tenuous (as it has been since the 1940s), the home video market has dried up and people are watching pirated movies on their phone. Spielberg’s coming-of-age era was for him the halcyon period that the 21st century “implosion” will cause to go “crashing into the ground.” But he is wrong. The market for movies is actually diverse and highly segmented–although from the top-down movie industry vantage point and media punditry you would not think this to be true. Would we really mourn for Mr. Spielberg or ourselves if Lincoln would have been made for cable or had played on public television? Is it bad for humanity that cable television is creating wonderful, resonant stories in long-form series that people want to watch at home on TV (or streamed onto their computer)? I don’t think so, but it is a paradigm shift and it might affect people’s theatrical moviegoing habits. Televisions in people’s homes have had that effect for seven decades–it is not a new phenomenon. As Art House cinema impresarios we need to focus on what WE can do at our theaters and in our communities. It is not productive for us to fret over what pundits say or about what well-meaning filmmakers like the Stevens–Spielberg and Soderbergh–say. We should fret about what we can do in our communities. What we can do to support filmmakers.”
~ From A Response By Russ Collins, CEO, Michigan Theater – Ann Arbor And Director, Art House Convergence, To Mr. Spielberg

“RT @RobertFeder: Dick Biondi to @wbezedwards: Remember Dick Clark as “a great guy who loved rock and roll and enjoyed helping young people enjoy themselves.”"
Heh-heh. So how many pornos did Dick Clark Productions release?
Dangit, Sam, this is why we can’t have nice things.
there doesn’t seem to be room on tv for old episodes of American Bandstand … mtv / vh1 won’t play any …
it should be on pbs …
the news media will play tributes to Clark all week long and yet they’ll take the easy way and just show the new years thing he did but won’t show any performances from
the music specials he did .. AB wasn’t a reality show he didn’t kick people off every week …
it be great if the news media got some music critics to discuss the impact of the music stuff Clark did .
American Bandstand 40th Anniversary Speciala

Cue Tweets of “Who’s Dick Clark?” in 5,4,3,2…
Given that PBS affiliates used to (still?) show old Lawrence Welk episodes, showing Bandstand might actually be a pretty decent idea, especially considering the popularity of the oldies concerts they run so often during pledge drives. Welk’s core audience is probably six feet under, but lots of boomers have fond memories of Bandstand.
I never met Dick Clark, but he brushed past me at the company Christmas party back when I worked for an animation company in Burbank. This was a few years pre-stroke.
Bandstand is really a lot of 5 minute musical performance …they could put up a few hundred of these on demand – hulu or netflix .
i was impressed with the acting of Kristen Connolly in Cabin in the Woods – so i want a dp/30 but she has to do a few indie movies for DP to notice her awesomeness.
i also liked acting of Michael Pena in 30 minutes or less – i asked months ago for a dp/30 – never got one.
i blame the Duplass brothers – they always seem to sneak in before other people who should get some interviews .
Rather amusing to see Dick Clark dealing with Syd Barrett as little as he possibly could:

After all the dropped hints, I found that Google indexed over 1.1m pages discussing “dick clark” and “boobs”, but the two topics don’t seem to coincide, so far at least.
Anyone catch “Get the Gringo?” Gibson is still tough to watch at first, especially when he’s asking his lady friend if he can bit her hard, but the movie is stylish, clever and a lot of fun (its straight-to-DirectTV-release must have more to do with him being massively unpopular than the quality of the movie).
awesome / sick
burger with lots of bacon video … 3 minute video

some crazy pressure yo. i said that before the filmed opened. Disney could have bought like 50 sundance films
for that kind of money…
crazy pressure will continue for the summer ..with huge
films coming out that cost hundreds of millions .

Guess I won’t be checking out IMDb once a day anymore–about the only reason I went was for the nifty articles linked at the bottom, and now they’re gone. Ta-ta, IMDb.
Oh, and I would’ve posted this there but I didn’t want to give them my credit card info. (!)
fan expo Vancouver …
lots of tv stars – none of had a dp/30 . DP needs to geek out more.
http://www.fanexpovancouver.com/guests
now she’ll be too busy and stuff for any more dp/30′s … which i liked a lot. gotta wait 2 years for another interview.
DP why weren’t you there ? seems like you should be.
Award-winning actress Carey Mulligan and folk rock singer Marcus Mumford were married yesterday – by the groom’s father in a converted barn on a working farm.
Among the 200 guests were actress Sienna Miller, Hollywood star Jake Gyllenhaal and Oscar-winner Colin Firth
watched veep – hbo – it was alright – some forced jokes .
let’s watch elaine from seinfeld swear over and over ..
watched 2nd episode of girls – hbo – this really surprised me – it was actually funny .. Lena is now too famous for a dp/30.. she probably gets millions of dollars and hangs out with donald trump all day long visiting all his fancy hotels. also girls needs greata gerwig in there somewhere. kick one of the other girls out . the downside of girls is its going to be hard to re edit this for regular cable …so it’ll be stuck on hbo forever.

dp/30 stuff for DP -
hey DP – i’ve been waiting since last year for some of my favorite people to show up for a dp/30 …and for some reason they never do. …it’s not like i want the same person over and over again …i often find there’s more variety of people on g4 tv ..sure they get 5 minute interviews but better than nothing .. maybe the people on my list you haven’t heard of before but they’ve been doing
things for 10 + years and it’s super easy to find stuff they’ve done just by using youtube. you can easily get
some exclusive interviews cause other movie critics
won’t do these interviews unless they are at a festival.
Kate Bosworth got a fake dp/30 – she only talked about a few movies but has been in so many more – she needs a real dp/30 . fake dp/30 occur when 3 people do a dp/30 and there’s just not enough time to talk about everything they’ve done. i’m guessing 90% chance she doesn’t do another interview this year.
Funny… YOU criticize. And YOU skipped the word ARE. Way to prove your point.
