The Year in Movies

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

For me, any­way. How­ever, the caveat — movies I haven’t seen yet: THE HURT LOCKER: the title kept me away, yeah. very unde­scrip­tive. or, maybe makes per­fect sense after­ward, but none before. 500 DAYS OF SUMMER: dug the trailer, dig the actors, heard great stuff about it, but, being not-horror, it kept slip­ping down the list.

Friday, December 4th, 2009

New inter­view. All kinds of fun, as always. If I remem­ber cor­rectly, too, that pic there, the shirt I’m wear­ing, I bor­rowed it from some­body in the dri­ve­way of the photographer’s.
