Red Hands Production Diary

Wonderwall.

Had a great conversation with Kim today, basically about how Mickey Rourke is one of the most amazing actors ever. See Body Heat, see Heaven’s Gate (also one of the most amazing movies ever.) It’s so great to work with people who are actually interested in cinema – and I know for a lot of you who are outside Hollywood this sounds weird, but mark my words, people in Hollywood could really give a rat’s ass about cinema. It’s a funny complicated world for sure.

Saw Che and it was amazing. Hello world, a revolutionary movie about revolution. Not propaganda and it’s so anal that it’s about communism and was filmed with a RED camera. Draw your own conclusions. (see slightly more at my movie blog.)

Met with the potential investor tonight at a place in Silver Lake called Stinkers (not Stinkies as the well tattooed and very attendant bartender reminded me.) He’s another fantastic film person WHO GETS IT. Talked about the new Clint Eastwood movie and the future of American letters. He wants to provide money for the cause, and we talked about using it for the website of MONGREL, for the literary publication aspect of that site since MONGREL is about words as well as images.
