Talking About The Early Days: Hartley, Gondry, Field, Puccini & Berman, and Motolla

Okay, this is also about talking these days too, but I didn’t know how to put that into the headline.

I was interviewed on Wednesday by Aaron Aradilis for his BlogTalkRadio show “Back By Midnight” on the occasion of the DVD release of ADVENTURELAND. Martin Starr precedes me so that give you ample reason to tune in, but if you need more Anthony quizzed me on the big questions like why I wanted to make me movies in the first place. We cover Hal Hartley’s early films, and the current state of indie film of course. We go into why it was obvious that Michel Gondry, Todd Field, and Puccini & Berman were obvious artists to back for their first narrative features. We even hit the state of film criticism and the crisis in print media. I guess we go on for awhile.. but of course you get to enjoy my nasal honk for most of it (and a couple good tunes off the Adventureland soundtrack).

Clever Tricks: Smart Birds

Now if you were just a tiny little creature and you came to a tall glass that you couldn’t pick up and there was water in it that you wanted to drink but it was too low to reach, what would you do? There is an Aesop Fable about this and the bird that drops the rocks in until water rises, but if a picture is worth a 1000 words, then this video tells quite a bit.

Brian is pretty damn articulate about the emerging new paradigm. We posted him before here and here.

8-Bit Stop Motion Trip With Legos

Wow. Four things we like that taste great together. Don’t you just love putting stuff in a bowl and mixing different ingredients together and just experimenting what it might taste like? Well, this is not that, because they clearly knew what they were doing taking the 8 bit video game look, mixing in Legos and animation and backing it with some great computer generated music. Pure fun in our bowl.
