The New York Times has an article on the Coen brothers. It’s not particularly deep- it touches on Burn After Reading and A Serious Man and has snippets of an interview. The article contains two new pics from Burn After Reading…
Err, they want to make a Hercules movie with Clooney? WOW! That would be something I’m sure!
Thanks to Camille, Blake and David for pinging me an email.
Rolling Stone magazine is running a “Decade of the Dude” retrospective in this month’s issue. You can also check it out online. It is divided into the following parts…
Decade of the Dude (kind of article intro)
Video interview with Jeff Bridges
Inside the Dude’s stoner soundtrack
Lebowski on the web (YouTube videos and the like)
Here’s a pic of modern day Jeff Bridges recreating the “Hey man, there’s a beverage here” Limo scene. He still looks cool as fuck! Top man!
I’m sure you’ll agree- it is a good article, and thorough.
Thanks to Marc and William for mailing this in.
This month’s Empire magazine has a 5 page article on HBO TV show, The Wire. It’s mainly an interview with its creator, David Simon and, in it, he waxes lyrical about the Coen brothers. This from said article…
He said, “I’ll watch anything by the Coen brothers. I’d spend a month on set bringing them coffee just to see how they work.” He might even get his chance, as Coen regular – and Mrs to Joel – Frances McDormand has optioned Every Secret Thing, by crime novelist Laura Lippman, who just happens to be Mrs. David Simon. A dinner for the two couples proved that even hardbitten, ex-hacks-turned-TV-big-cheeses can come over all starstruck.
“That was a fanboy moment for me. I couldn’t get a word out – all I was thinking was, ‘It’s fucking Joel Coen!’, and I’m an ex-reporter so I’m not allowed to go civilian! I don’t care if the President of the United States walks in the room – ‘Fuck you, I’m a journalist’ – but the Coen brothers, man…”
I, for one, wouldn’t mind seeing a collaboration between the Coens and Simon. The Wire is an incredible show and, if you haven’t seen it yet, take a punt on the Season One boxset. I can’t recommend it enough.
