The Other Side of the Wind

From wikipedia:

The Other Side of the Wind is an unreleased 1972 film directed by Orson Welles and starring John Huston, Peter Bogdanovich, Dennis Hopper and Stéphane Audran. The film featured Huston as an aging arthouse director with a string of commercial flops, who seeks to make one more film laden with sex and violence to revive his flagging career.

Like many of Welles' personally-funded films, the project was filmed and re-edited on and off for several years - work on the script started in the late 1960s, in 1972 Welles said that filming was "96% complete", and by 1976 it was on the brink of completion. Serious financial problems dogged the project, and Welles's use of funds from the brother-in-law of the Shah of Iran came back to haunt him after the Shah was overthrown in 1979. A complex, decades-long legal battle over the ownership of the film ensued, with the original negative remaining in a vault in Paris. By 1998 all legal matters had been resolved and the Showtime cable network had guaranteed end money to complete the film, when a new lawsuit by Welles' daughter Beatrice was filed, causing Showtime to withdraw its funding. As of late 2007, an new agreement had been reached with Showtime, and editing of the film was currently in progress.


So, a lost Welles film is on par with say, a lost Shakespeare script. Check out a leaked clip of the soon-to-be restored film.

Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair

Uma sez:

“Right now he’s putting the two films together with an intermission with an added anime sequence he had already written,” said Thurman. “So additional stories are in there, in animation.” She adds, “his anime stuff is strong.”

20th Century Fox Blew It. Sigourney Weaver Wanted New Alien Movie From Ridley Scott Pre-AVP

The last time [Ridley and I] saw each other we talked about it. The character is still interesting [and] I’d love to work with Ridley again,” Weaver said. “But Fox has effectively killed it because of ‘Alien vs. Predator.’ What else can you do with the creature? You can take the situation, you can go back to where they came from. …To play someone who ages a couple hundred years was fascinating. [But] let [Ripley] rest.


I WEEP.

Surviving the Wrier's Strike

With the writer's strike on full blast, entertainment is hard to come by. But thankfully, you're friends with me and I'm here to help. GET TO DOWNLOADING.

Dexter
Get the jump on CBS who will start airing the Showtime series Feb 13th. Micheal C. Hall (of "Six Feet Under" fame) plays a serial killer who is also a forensic pathologist (murder scene blood work). They've already pumped out two seasons worth of this crime drama meets avenger story. It's darkly witty and I can't get enough of it.

Breaking Bad
The dad from "Malcolm in the Middle" is a high school chemistry teacher.He finds out that under the best circumstances he'll die in two years from cancer. He promtly looses his shit and starts cooking meth to make money. The first tv series I've ever seen with a black comedy streak so deep it borders on reality. only two episodes out right now, so get hooked before everyone else.

American Idol
Some people live and die by this shit, but let's be honest, the auditions are the best. It's so simple and straight to the point. People come in three flavors: Awesome, bland, and horrible. I wish they would only do auditions or do an "American Rejects" show. Auditions are almost over, so get on it.

A Daily Show
Without it's writers, Jon Stewart is still shining, although without the bite is admittedly diminished.

Colbert Report
Same goes here, only I kinda like Stephen more.

Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job
IF YOU DON NOT LIKE THIS SHOW YOU CANNOT BE MY FRIEND ANY MORE.

Mythbusters
I don't even think this show needs writers, so it plows on.

Dirty Jobs
Mike Rowe: Man, host, badass, possible sex symbol for our times. This show could be more entertaining unless Dog the Bounty hunter was shooting people in the background while every stripper in America danced around.

Reno 911
Somehow it gets better every year. New episodes airing now.

Celebrity Apprentice
I never really cared for the show, but after I heard Gene Simmons was on, I was on. And now, even though Gene's gone, I still like the show. I also think I nursing some illegal feelings for Trump's daughter.


So, that's how I'm making it. 'course watching some older stuff and netflix hasn't been hurting either. Feel free to leave comments about how you're surviving.

New Chris Rock Material

I've been hoping to see a new Chris Rock special soon, somebody's gotta fill that void after Dave Chapelle left, and frankly, I just don't think Carlos Mancia is the man for that job. He's funny, but, he's just not Dave. Click though for a complete list, but here's some highlights:

On Bush: "He just doesn't give a fuck about you. In the history of not giving a fuck no one has ever given less of a fuck."

On Giuliani: "He's kind of like a pit bull. Great if you have burglars but if you don't, he'll probably eat your kids."

"People say he was great on 9/11, but what about 9/10, 5/21, 12/13, hell, pick a date, any date, the guy wasn't shit."

OH CHRISTOPHER ROCKALOWSKI.
