AFP: Lynch’s ‘Surveillance’ wins top prize at Catalonia film festival

Posted on by newadminLCvo114 Posted in link

MADRID (AFP) — "Surveillance", a thriller by Jennifer Lynch, daughter of legendary filmmaker David Lynch, Saturday won the top prize at the 41st International Film Festival of Catalonia, the organisers announced.

The jury in the Mediterranean resort of Sitges gave the best director award to South Korea’s Kim Jee-woon for "The Good, The Bad, The Weird", set in 1930s Manchuria and which also won the prize for best special effects.

Scotland’s Brian Cox won the best actor award for his role in the American film "Red", while Semra Turan was named best actress for playing a college student obsessed with kung-fu in the Danish film "Fighter".

"Surveillance" is Lynch’s first film since the critically panned and controversial "Boxing Helena" in 1993.

The movie, on which her father was executive producer, stars Bill Pullman and Julia Ormond as FBI agents investigating a massacre.

Just got back. Surveillance was the closing night film of the Dead Channels film fest tonight. Had a great time, the movie was fun, and the audience was cool too.

bp was amazing. Seriously. I’m so thrilled. But, so, anyway, considering who he is in the movie, I don’t know if that buzzcut was quite right for him. He looked cute though. I’m not complaining. I want to see it again!!!

Last night on Leno, we were introduced to the 3 dumbest people in America…

Question (shown a picture of John Edwards)– Who is this?
Harmik – Yeah he’s an actor – that guy from Twister. Bill Pullman.

It boggles my mind that people like this walk around every day, and somehow manage not to step in front of a bus.

The Cynical Side

…uh, not exactly the way it happened. The guy (Harmik) may be an idiot, but at least he ID’d “Paxton” correctly. One more for the paxton-file…

Uncle Marty

Posted on by newadminLCvo114 Posted in link

“Harper’s Island,” from CBS Paramount, is a serialized drama revolving around a group of friends who are terrorized when they meet on an island off the Seattle coast for a destination wedding.
Hamlin will play the groom’s (Christopher Gorham) uncle Marty, an outgoing, charming womanizer who attends the wedding.
Hamlin replaces Bill Pullman, who played the role in the presentation but only agreed to do it because of his relationship with executive producer/director Jon Turteltaub. He was never expected to stay on if the project went to series.

…but he was in the trailer and everything!

“I don’t really vacation. To me, getting back to the ranch is like a vacation. Montana, the big sky country — people go there to relax, but I don’t think of it as a traditional vacation. Being out there slugging posts into the ground and pulling hay bales is a vacation from sitting in chairs in front of computers answering emails.”
