Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
Here’s the e-mail I got:
Hey Mori,
Just wanted to drop you a line to point you and AICN to the "Spun" movie web site. If you head to SpunTheMovie.com , you'll find an "R" and "NC-17" version with information about the characters, cast, and film makers. There's also a great little cooking show video of Mickey "The Cook" Rourke making Amfetadrine Dope. Interestingly enough there is a link to a trailer which only takes you to a pop-up of an old television set that says "We'll Be Right Back." But I found a link to a 4 minute plus trailer for the film that knocked my socks off. Hope you enjoy it:
MacGuffin
Now, Quint and Harry and everyone at CineVegas got a chance to see this film, and it wasn’t until after they saw it that I realized this is the directorial debut of Jonas Ackerland, a gifted and disturbing video director (Madonna’s “Ray of Light”, Prodigy’s “Smack My Bitch Up”, Metallica’s “Turn The Page”). Everyone’s reaction seemed to be strong, and this is definitely a film I’m dying to see right now. Look at the cast: Jason Schwartzman; John Leguizamo; Mickey “The Mick” Rourke (I always pray for Rourke to redeem himself, and on occasion, he delivers); Brittany Murphy (capable of trashy transcendence on par with Jennifer Jason Leigh); Patrick Fugit; Mena Suvari; Peter Stormare. This is a solid indie cast in the hands of a director who has me deeply curious. The video with Rourke teaching you how to cook speed is pretty funny in a skanky sort of way.
The FULL-LENGTH TRAILER he sent the link for is truly deranged, and should only be viewed by our adult readers. Unless you’re a really mature young reader. Or a really immature older reader. Or easily offended. I thought it was pretty damn cool, and there’s something in there that should make any POPE OF GREENWICH VILLAGE fan smile, like I did. And by the way… if you’re not a fan of POPE… why the fuck not?
But I digress. I’m gonna go check the trailer out again. Let me know what you think.
"Moriarty" out.
