Better behave yourself …
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007Steve Buscemi’s in town!
He has one of the roles in JOHN RABE, a film about a German diplomat who saved about 20,000 people during the Nanjing Massacre. I guess he’s been out on the town a bit, but I haven’t seen him. Keanu Reeves was here recently too with his martial arts teacher, but as far as anyone knows right now, it wasn’t related to any film project.
A related note: I’ve decide that I won’t show RESERVOIR DOGS if I teach American Film next semester. I’ll talk about Tarantino and everything, since he is so important, but the film was just too violent for the students to deal with. We had several flee-ers last time, one only five minutes into the film. It went over like a ton of bricks, although, surprisingly, the students thought Mr. Pink was really funny and laughed whenever he talked about being professional. I’ll look for something by the Coen Brothers or Richard Linklater, maybe, to use as a replacement.
