Greetings! Savant's new reviews today are
I guess it's Pirate Tuesday here. The Johnny Depp pic sucked up the nation's entire disposable income for the weekend, so perhaps it's appropriate.
Gary Teetzel has directed my attention to a big fan show in San Diego, where the 'extended version' of Peter Jackson's King Kong is to be sneaked, or previewed or otherwise promoted. So, ah, I guess they're going through with a more monsteriffic cut. Glad they didn't try that in theaters -- I think if the picture had been a couple of reels shorter, it might have been a much bigger hit.
Savant reader Jordan Benedict offers a link to a rebroadcast of of a 2005 Terri Gross interview with Thelma Schoonmaker on NPR. She talks about Martin Scorsese and her late husband Michael Powell, and Jordan advises us that the interview is loaded with goodies about filmmaking.
From friend and associate Stuart Galbraith IV comes this oddball link to an indescribable Japanese video clip: Zuiiken Gals on You Tube. Readers who get all the way through it might want to explain it to Savant ... is it an exercise video? Does it sell summer fashions? Tennis shoes? I haven't heard back from Stuart yet!
Thanks for reading, Glenn Erickson
