Your Name Here
bill who?
sweeeeet!!! coooool remake!!!
…if it actually happens:
[Susanne] Bohnet is serving as an executive producer on…”The Killer Inside Me” from Michael Winterbottom, which she said will star Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Casey Affleck and Bill Pullman.
why, Winterbottom is only my favorite director! a Jim Thompson novel? gets better and better!
But Kate Hudson? Jessica, maybe. Not who I’d imagine in a Winterbottom flick. Not bp either really. But I hope it’s true. Please make it happen, please, please, please.
‘Girls of Riyadh’ on Serafina’s agenda
…
Per IMDb as of now, the cast list only has 3 names: Alba, Affleck, and Elias Koteas. Could bp be an addition to the list, or could he be Koteas’ replacement?
On a totally unrelated note, I liked Elias Koteas in Living Out Loud, a fantastic movie. While watching the movie though, I was wishing bp was The Kisser; thought that would’ve been a real casting coup, not to take away anything from Koteas’ delicious cameo.
almost b-day!
…looks like something from over a good decade ago. lovely pic.

Pullman Unmasks PKD Biopic
…indie distributor IFC is considering releasing [Your Name Here].
“It’s now looking like it might be IFC,” Pullman said in a group interview on Dec. 2 in Culver City, Calif., where he was promoting Nobel Son. “That’s not certain yet, but finally it’s kind of gotten itself some legitimacy.”
Pullman added that the Philip K. Dick estate continues to scare off potential distributors. “Oh, they’re f–king after us,” he said. “We’re like the cockroach they can’t kill. Yeah, the DICK estate. They’re looking to dick us all. The irony is that he, in his lifetime, had really no cash that he could count on regularly. It was unpredictable. He got to the set of Blade Runner, so he knew something was happening, but he didn’t make money. The children–this is a wealthy estate, because his stories are really the cornerstone of contemporary science fiction for a lot of people, with Total Recall and Minority Report, all those movies that have come from him. There’s more being made and developed. They’re selling rights, so they’re very wealthy, and they are protecting their asset, I guess, in some way.”
The film portrays the final days of the author as a sort of Philip K. Dick-esque reality bender. “It’s eccentric, narratively adventurous,” Pullman said. “It’s like I’m Not There is to Bob Dylan, this is to Philip K. Dick. [It is set] in his last days, determining did he write this last chapter of this book that explains it all that took him 10 years to write, or didn’t he write it? Or did the FBI steal it, or did his ex-wives collude to take it from him? It’s a lot of his genius reflected in the story.”
One issue the estate has raised is that the film portrays Dick as a drug user. “Apparently, he never took drugs in his lifetime,” Pullman said. “Ha ha ha. We didn’t know that, so we actually were showing Philip K. Dick indulging vigorously. Apparently that never happened.”
Just to be safe, the film named Pullman’s character William J. Frick. —Fred Topel

Nobel Son logbook entry
I liked all the twists in the story but the movie was a bit too long? Felt like it needed some nipping and tucking here and there. Did not rock (ouch) despite the relentless loudness of the soundtrack and the so called fast cutting. Oh but bp was sooooo cute!

National release! More TV!
I like the host, but this really isn’t funny. So old:
"I also do French toast in a different way"

I have a reputation of cooking breakfasts. A lot of it is in the sell. Like, how do you get a fried egg to be more distinguished than another fried egg? And I have found the way to do it, where I like to have a really crispy bottom and a really soft top. There’s a trick to that, which is patience and really low heat for a long time. It may not seem that amazing to you right now, but try it.
