“Oh God, I bet that’s the first line of your piece, isn’t it?” Anderson said. “Wes Anderson, notorious for his attention to detail, carefully observes the black retro sunglasses that the young Schwartzman has pulled from his pocket …” Later, when a breeze picked up during our meal, he turned up the collar on his seersucker suit and again quoted from the article he was writing in his head: “Anderson then pensively turns up the collar of his blazer, pulling it tight around his skinny frame to cover the monogrammed dress shirt underneath …” Pause. Laughter. “I’m sorry, man,” he then said. “I’m in a weird mood these days.” (cont. at nymag)(photo by Chris Buck)

I can’t believe the studios can’t let the short play with the feature. What a bunch of dumbasses. Well most producers in Hollywood have no education, much less appreciation of cinema. Just a bunch of hacks.
from perezh:
Die Hard director John McTiernan was sentenced by a U.S. district judge to four months in federal prison on Monday.
Why? He lied to the FBI about hiring disgraced private detective Anthony Pellicano to illegally wiretap film producer Charles Roven.
McTiernan’s other directing credits include The Hunt for Red October and The Thomas Crown Affair.
HAHAHA. what a bunch of dumbasses. Hollywood is soooo lame.
