Mr. Hanrahan edits #1: “The 100 Greatest Movie Insults of All Time”

November 27, 2010 /

After running that oddly disturbing selection of Nicholas Cage moment of complete madness a day or so back, I thought the waning portion of this holiday weekend would be a good to run some other works by editor Harry Hanrahan. Oddly enough, this salute to movie insult contains lots and lots and lots and lots of NSFW language.

I should add I don’t necessarily agree with Hanrahan’s choices as truly “the greatest of all time,”  which seem to skew very much towards post-1970 American films, but hey, it’s not a bad selection and so nicely done. (Also, technically, the opening insults date back to the late 19th century via playwright Edmund Rostand.)

Two kinds of eerie for a Black Friday evening

November 26, 2010 /

Viral marketing was very good for Neil Blomkamp on “District 9.” So, no wonder he’s indulging in it again for something which apparently first showed up in some kind of newfangled i-something version of Wired Magazine.

And now a brief clip from what seems certain to be one of the year’s biggest sensations and a very likely major Oscar contender, Darren Aronofsky’s “The Black Swan.” I’m really hoping this will be 50% Powell and Pressburger’s “The Red Shoes,” 50% Roman Polanski’s “Repulsion” and 50% something entirely new and original.

H/t Movieline and the Playlist.

Something else to be thankful, from the staff of Pixar

November 25, 2010 /

I’ve got some shocking news for some of you. You might have heard there are a number of Jews in the entertainment industry. Well, there are also quite a few gay people of both genders. Some of them are, also, Jewish, but that’s neither here nor there. Pixar is probably the single most respected outfit in all of entertainment right now, with an absolutely unprecedented run of combined artistic and commercial success — even Nikki Finke respects them.

Though this video is not CGI animated and features no lovable inanimate objects, it’s no surprise that when the good people of Pixar put together an “It Gets Better” video, it should be extremely engaging and moving. Especially if you are a young person struggling with your sexual identity, please watch this. If you know someone who is, especially with an interest in entertainment, make sure they watch it.

This post is dedicated to an absent childhood friend, my first movie-mad buddy, who might have wound up at Pixar, or some place just as cool, if he’d been able to see something like this.

Happy Thanksgiving from Premium Hollywood

November 25, 2010 /

I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the holiday on an entertainment blog than with master critic, filmmaker and all along leader of the cinephile-American community Matt Zoeller Seitz’s 2009 appreciation of the art of cinematic culinography, “Feast.”

For more, see Matt’ s essay — and an annotated version of this video, over at the Museum of the Moving Image, where this first appeared roughly a year ago yesterday.
