Saw In the Cut last night, the Jane Campion film with Meg Ryan and Mark Ruffalo. I didn't really like Mark Ruffalo's character so much (though I normally do love the characters he plays, as I did in Eternal Sunshine, You Can Count on Me, and My Life Without Me) and found the movie a little strange but I thought it was o.k. I was surprised that Meg Ryan agreed to take on the role that she did but, save for the graphic sex scenes, it wasn't a radical departure from her role in Flesh and Bone, one of my favorite movies from the '90s. But what I found really interesting is that, apparently, the costume department for the film bought the entire wardrobe from The Job, one of my favorite shows of all time. I also found this interview with Jane Campion, Meg Ryan, and Mark Ruffalo intriguing, particularly this part:
We talked about Mark's facial hair, can I ask Meg about your normal hair in the movie. It's a very different look for a very different kind of character - how did that evolve?
MR: It was fairly organic really. The first step was that Jane and I were walking round the city and we saw a T-shirt with this nihilistic cartoon character called Emily the Strange. Everything contributes.
Anyway, onto some links:
Probably an extreme example of the New York City real estate market.
$6000 does seem steep for this but can I still say I want one? Make sure to check out the video clip! The writer also mentions the World Expo we went to but we didn't see the robots the writer mentions!
