Smokin' Joe Carnahan: HAPPY EASTER HEATHENS!

HAPPY EASTER HEATHENS!

04/08/2007 at 09:35 AM

Alright guys, get out there and celebrate the resurrection or the egg
hunt or whatever your particular theological bent brings. I hope you
all have a wonderful holiday.

Got my stuff replaced. Samsung makes a fantastic big-screen. First
movie in? Citizen Kane. I had to bless the system with greatness. Also,
if you haven't seen 'Children of Men' it is easily the most technically
brilliant movie to date. The battle scene at the end is absolutely stunning. I
thought what Gaspar Noe did with 'Irreversible' was incredible in the
sense of holding ten minute scenes without a single background actor
blowing a cue. 'Children of Men' is the same thing but on Barry Bonds-level
steroids. The degree of precision required to pull those sequences off must
have taken months to plan and prepare. Holy Sh*t is it something.

Okay guys. Back to the baked ham. If you want a lot of your questions
answered as the I.T. guys take their sweet time posting, check out this interview
I did last week for Cinematical.

Be well. Be joyous. Be sugar-free this Easter.

Post Easter Weekend Equation for JC,

14.6M ÷ 1 director > 11.6M ÷ 2 directors

The math does not lie,

LOL!!! Too funny DANV...LOL! I thought "that film" would do better too. LOL! Now maybe people will settle down and stop with the Carnahan/Tarantino comparisons. :)

Happy day after Easter Joe!!! :)

Hey Joe

Former fairfield high school and Solano college student Mark Beierly here. Sorry to be late to respond the happy easter post. So happy late easter. By the way that sucks you got robbered, but I hope at you and your family are safe. Scary shit happens to all of us, and well all you can do is just live with the bad along with the good that is going on with this crazy thing called life.
Anyway keep the spirts up and do what you do best in the future, direct White Jazz.

Joe, I'm glad you got your stuff replaced. Any progress finding the robbers? Children Of Men was an excellent movie! I liked the long takes(made the movie seem real.) I'm heading to the wall(Walmart) a week from today to pick up the Aces DVD. I'll check out the commentaries this weekend. Alec

What you think about the actress playing the gipsy woman in "Children of Men"?
