A Chat with Joe Lo Truglio (“The State,” “Role Models”)

March 8, 2009 /

If the words “rub a dub dub” conjure images of a bearded man in chain mail rather than three men in a tub, then you’re probably one of the people who saw and laughed at “Role Models.” The film was directed by (and features a cameo from) David Wain, late of The State, but he’s not the only alumnus of that particular comedic organization to be found within its frames. There are actually a couple, if you’re counting, but only one managed to spend the duration of the film dressed in Medevial garb and spouting laughably earnest comments using mock Elizabethan phrasing…and – what luck! – we actually had the opportunity to speak to the gentleman in question.

Stay tuned for…

Campbell Scott talks “Phoebe in Wonderland,” “Singles,” and more

March 6, 2009 /

Although Campbell Scott is one of those actors who’s been happily flying under Hollywood’s radar for the past several years (he estimates the time frame as somewhere between eight and ten), his appearance within the ensemble of the buzz-heavy indie flick, “Phoebe in Wonderland,” may change that. And if it doesn’t…well, as he reveals in his interview with Bullz-Eye.com, it’s not like he doesn’t enjoy being able to ride the subway in relative anonymity.

Campbell Scott on “Singles”:

“I’m 47, I have gray hair, and yet people still come up to me on the street who are in their twenties, who weren’t even born when ‘Singles’ was made…well, they were pretty tiny, anyway…and they say, ‘Oh, I love that movie.’ And I always say, ‘How OLD are you?”

Campbell Scott on “Phoebe in Wonderland”:

“When you go and watch it, even if you’re thinking about being a parent or if you have a little sister, anything like that, it becomes this little journey. And people either go for it or not. It ain’t ‘Die Hard,’ let’s face it! But it’s very, very provocative, I think.”

Campbell Scott on “The Spanish Prisoner”:

“Steve (Martin) is fascinating. I really like that guy. He’s really smart. You know, the thing I always think about Steve is that, like most really, really brilliant comedians, he’s a very serious dude. People who are funny in a profound way, when you meet them, they are totally serious. I don’t mean they’re severe or boring or unfunny to be with – they’re hysterical – but they are definitive in their work habits.”

Chocolate

March 6, 2009 /

Following the unprecedented success of “Ong-Bak” and “The Protector,” director Prachya Pinkaew was probably looking to get away from working with Tony Jaa on his next feature. Dropping one martial artist for another may not sound like much of a difference, but while new leading lady JeeJa Yanin doesn’t have the talent to match Jaa’s acrobatic fighting style, she’s a far better actor. It’s a trade-off that serves the movie well, because even though “Chocolate” is 90% action, the dramatic scenes that do exist work better as a result of her involvement. Yanin stars as Zen, an autistic girl who has learned to fight exclusively from watching martial arts movies. When her mother gets sick and can’t afford treatment, however, Zen sets out to collect payment from the various gangsters that owe her money. Desperate as it may be to inject some hint of character development into the proceedings, “Chocolate” is little more than a demo reel of some of the best action sequences that Asian cinema has to offer. Yanin may not be able to pull off some of the more impressive moves in Jaa’s arsenal, but she’s still a surprisingly capable fighter whose finest moment comes during a fight where she mimics Bruce Lee. It’s not the best action scene in the movie, but it’s exactly what makes “Chocolate” so much fun to watch.

“Watchmen” week

March 4, 2009 /

Get ready for the most anticipated movie event of 2009.

Bullz-Eye’s Ross Ruediger has an excellent preview of the film after his set visit from last year.

An unquestionable highlight of the set visit was getting to stand smack in the middle of Karnak, the enormous Egyptian-themed palace that serves as the setting for the film’s climax. Painstakingly constructed to appear nearly identical to how it’s shown in the comic, the set was roughly the size of a gymnasium, with marble floors, an elaborate staircase, a lengthy dining room table and giant, awe-inspiring pillars and statues. (They were actually made of Styrofoam, but you’d never know it by looking at them.) Standing in the middle of it all, it was so easy to picture the core characters of the novel squabbling amongst themselves as they do in one of the scenes set in that massive room. On the flip side of Karnak, was the slightly smaller yet equally impressive Owl Chamber, Nite Owl’s underground lair. If Karnak was sleek and expansive, this set was the opposite: intimate and cluttered. Much to my delight, I was allowed to wander around and just poke around the laboratory as if it were my own. It was here that I first saw the now-infamous picture of the movie’s original superheroes, the Minutemen, behind glass in a case amongst the rest of the little details. Being in the Owl Chamber actually felt like leaving the set altogether and finding myself transported to an actual superhero lair. The attention that had been paid to “getting it right” was mind-boggling, and it was as if I’d stepped directly into the book itself. Now if only the Owl Ship could actually fly…

If Patrick Warburton’s going to Hell, he’s taking a lot of viewers with him

March 2, 2009 /

Bullz-Eye was fortunate enough to score an opportunity to speak with Patrick Warburton on the occasion of his CBS series, “Rules of Engagement,” returning to its 9:30 timeslot within the network’s Monday night comedy line-up.

We did not, however, limit ourselves to discussing that particular show.

In addition to conversations about Warburton’s roles on “NewsRadio,” “The Venture Brothers,” in “Get Smart” and “The Emperor’s New Groove,” and, of course, as the title character of the live-action TV version of “The Tick,” we also asked him about his long-running role on “Family Guy” as Joe, the paraplegic cop whose wife, Bonnie, finally gave birth.

“You know, my mother actually thinks my soul is in peril for being on that show, and after I watched last Sunday’s episode, I thought, ‘Geez, maybe she’s right. Joe’s getting his diaper changed…and I am going to hell for being on this show.’ You know my rationalization is that it is just absurd, crazy humor, and…what the fuck. It is a deplorable show. It’s horrible.”

Well, it’s all a matter of opinion.
