 "This blog entry is part of my “movie year countdown round #2”. Read more about that here. Jennifer Eight I've never heard anyone talk about or even mention this movie before. I probably would have never even known about it much less had any interest in it if it wasn't for the fact that it's the only other movie directed by Bruce Robinson besides Withnail & I and How to Get Ahead in Advertising, both of which I adore. According to a note I read on IMDB, Bruce Robinson made Jennifer Eight with a focus on commercial potential so that he may have some success and win the opportunity to get funding for other less commercially viable projects. Apparently the movie failed to make money and Robinson has not directed any movies since. Although I've been desperately watching out for the supposed production of The Rum Diary for years, which sounded like the perfect project. But now I have doubts that it will ever even occur. Jennifer Eight is a pretty solid mystery/thrill ... " [More]

 "Withnail & IThis is one of my absolute very favorite films. It may be even my third or second favorite film of all time(not my first because that spot must be reserved for a certain spaghetti western).Withnail may be my favorite film character all time as well. And because of that Richard E. Grant has shot up to being one of my favorite actors.Bruce Robinson is perfect with writing and directing of this time, and if Hunter S. Thompson's The Rum Diaries which has been in pre-production for several years ever is finally made with Robinson at the helm, I wouldn't be surprised if it became my new favorite film of the new century.If you haven't seen this movie I can give you a few criteria that may help you decide.Are you a male? Some women may love this movie, but this is a completely male dominated movie. All the main characters are men, and there are only a few moments where women appear on the screen.Are you an actor or been a part of that acting/theatre world? ... " [More]

 "If it’s a labor dispute that finally gets The Rum Diary off the ground, then so be it. “The latest statistics for filming in L.A. confirm what everybody already knows,” writes Dave McNary for Variety. “The studios and networks have revved up production, stockpiling projects as strike fever engulfs Los Angeles.” After at least a decade of producing softcore for teenage boys, Maxim’s getting in the business of … producing softcore for teenage boys! The men’s mag will slap their name on a Screen Gems teen comedy called Virginity Rocks!, which will tell the story of “a gorgeous transfer student who clings to her virginity and gets all the promiscuous girls in school to abstain from sex; in response, the popular guys ask the school stud to try to bed the poster girl and ending her ‘virginity rocks’ campaign.” IMAX has announced a plan to release Shine a Light, Martin Scorsese’s upcoming Rolling Stones documentary, on their massive screens simultaneous to the film’s September 21 premiere ...

"WOAH DICK! How weird to just suddenly come across this post! I am listening to Saint-Saëns Symphony #3 performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra at this very moment! Weeeeeird coincidence!And How To Get Ahead In Advertising (yes it is "Ahead" not "a Head" although it does carry that double meaning), is one of my absolute favorite movies. I can't wait until Bruce Robinson can start filming on The Rum Diary. If that ever ends up happening. " [More]
