As if to make up for the last two weeks, it’s a Monday night and it just started pouring while I was taking out the trash.
Updates have been made to the ‘recent views’ and ’scottish bugs’ sections to the right. Also, check out trailers for Open Water and Danny Deckchair (which are showing before Fahrenheit 9/11 at the Orange Showcase Cinemas). Oh, and there’s a movie called Kinsey which looks interesting.
I have a few movie trailers for you: Martin Scorsese’s The Aviator is an early favorite for this year’s Xmas movie. The Hunting of the President definitely looks like an interesting documentary that I’m gonna want to see once I get into Bill Clinton’s My Life (which hits stores next Tuesday). And there’s a new trailer for Robert Zemeckis’s The Polar Express which definitely has an interesting look to it. I’m a big fan of the Chris van Allsburg, I just hope the animation doesn’t turn out to be crappy and distracting. Oh, and another candidate for the Xmas movie would seem to be Marc Forster’s Finding Neverland, depending on when it reaches wide release (it’s slated for a limited release on 10/22/2004).
This might be two Monday nights in a row without rain. I haven’t gone out there yet, though, so I could be wrong. It did rain this morning, however.
A couple things: 1. Ocean’s Twelve has a website and a teaser trailer (if you can call it that). The teaser has a pretty awesome look to it, but don’t think you’re gonna learn anything about the movie. Or even see a single frame of film. Nevertheless, I cannot wait.
2. thedigitalbits.com is reporting a September 28 street date for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Also, it’s listed at a $29.98 SRP. Considering that it’s a Universal title you can expect that to mean that it’ll be a two-disc deal.

Three quick bits of info:
1. A day after I picked him up for the ‘Bugs, Anaheim relief pitcher Francisco Rodríguez gave up more runs (3) than he had the entire season to date (2) while blowing both the hold and the save and earning the loss against the Indians tonight. Incredible.
2. Have you guys seen the new cover art for Kill Bill Volume 2? Well, here’s the old art:
So, here it is, the new site, much stripped down, much simplified. The ‘photography’ and ‘downloads’ pages will be up shortly. The old site is still online for now, if you want to look at it for some strange reason.
Now, this is a good article from The New York Times:
Michael Moore’s Candid Camera
by FRANK RICH
Published: May 23, 2004“But why should we hear about body bags, and deaths, and how many, what day it’s gonna happen, and how many this or what do you suppose? Or, I mean, it’s, it’s not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that? And watch him suffer.”

Fahrenheit 9/11 Wins Palme D’Or Award at Cannes
By REUTERS
Published: May 22, 2004
Filed at 2:43 p.m. ETCANNES, France (Reuters) - U.S. director Michael Moore’s controversial anti-Bush documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 won the Palme d’Or best film award at the Cannes film festival on Saturday in an evening otherwise dominated by Asian films.
Hey, how’s about this: I actually have some movie news for the first time in, uhh, nine months or something. Movie news on this new version of the site will (intentionally) appear sporadically at best and only when bits of info seem particularly interesting to me. The general interest stuff that I used to put up on the old site is available all over the internet and I’ll let you find it on your own. Having said that…
First I should note that there is finally a real trailer for Pixar’s The Incredibles up on apple.com. Also, Michael Mann’s Collateral looks very interesting. And there’s a new trailer for Alex Proyas’s I, Robot, and I really think it looks like it might be good. I’m definitly curious.
Five years from now you will know who Hamish Linklater is. And I wouldn’t be surprised if you knew of Mireille Enos as well.
read Michael Moore’s 5/07/2004 letter about the Fahrenheit 9/11 situation:
When You Wish Upon A Star… by Michael Moore
Dear Friends,
Thank you for all the incredible letters of support as my film crew and I once again slog our way through the corporate media madhouse. Does it ever end? Are we ever going to get control of our “free press” again? Can you wish upon a star?
