WHY DO YOU LOVE IT?: It’s introduced me to some new bands that I might not have heard of otherwise.
DISCUSSION TIP: Don’t be a hater and be negative just because you don’t like certain bands. We had a member who would complain about everything and eventually got booted because of it.
BEST RANDOM QUOTE: “SLAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYERRRR!!!!!”
“The whole thing about directing is you have to find a special way to manipulate each actor to do exactly what you want.”
– Rob Zombie
Rob Zombie has followed up his horror hit House of 1000 Corpses with a much more brutal, ugly and sadistic film, The Devil’s Rejects. It keeps some of the characters such as Captain Spaulding [Sid Haig], Otis [Bill Moseley] and Baby [Sheri Moon], but now instead of them being hunters they are being stalked by Sheriff Wydell [William Forsythe] whose brother they had killed.
“It’s my music but in a totally different context, and it made me realize that it’s possible for me to do things like that.”
– Clint Mansell
Clint Mansell was the lead vocalist and guitarist of the British band Pop Will Eat Itself. But now he is scoring major Hollywood movies such as Murder by Numbers, Suspect Zero and the upcoming videogame adaptation DOOM. But he is currently in the middle of his biggest challenge, scoring The Fountain for his long time collaborator Darren Aronofsky. I got a chance to catch up with Mansell on the Montréal set of The Fountain.
“I came from the music business way back and it was kind of taboo for a rapper, especially a white rapper.”
– Mark Wahlberg
Throughout his film career we’ve gotten to see Mark Wahlberg’s fake penis, his mad driving skills, and watch him finger a girl on a roller coaster. Now in Four Brothers we finally get to see him sitting on the toilet having a heart to heart with two of his adopted brothers.
Since his breakout role in Boogie Nights, Wahlberg has put Marky Mark in the past and embraced mainstream and edgy roles. In the violent action drama Four Brothers, he plays Bobby, one of four brothers who, when their adopted mother is killed, set out to hunt down and murder her killers.
“In order to construct a story, you’re not really pondering what you’re looking at.”
– Gus Van Sant
Gus Van Sant has made many films which have become touchstones for generations such as Drugstore Cowboy, Good Will Hunting and Elephant. His latest one, Last Days, tackles the early ’90s by doing a fictional story of the last three days of Kurt Cobain’s life.
The Cobain-like character [played by Michael Pitt] wanders around his desolate property inviting in Mormons and salesmen to say whatever they want to him while he grunts. The various supporting characters drift in and out of the film almost like dreams. Last Days chronicles the story of a man who has everything but is very depressed.
“If I’m going to fall flat on my face, I might as well do it in front of a decent crowd.”
– Sasha
To music purists nothing is scarier than when a legendary artist embraces new technology. I still talk to people who think Bob Dylan lost it when he went electric. Certainly DJ Sasha surprised everyone and angered many when he decided that he was going to be doing his live shows using the Ableton Live software with a custom-built Maven midi controller and an Apple G4 laptop. SG got a chance to talk with Sasha about using those tools to play live and how it affected his new album, Fundacion NYC.
