Famous People Talked to me: Gone Girl at the NYFF.

Another year, another exceptional New York Film Festival. The big writeup is coming soon, but here's the opening night film, David Fincher's Gone Girl, with its big cast and crew interview/discussion/press conference. The film is exceptional, very Verhoevian, and part of its pleasures are seeing it with an audience being buffeted about by its gloriously sick twists and turns.

"All the birds are singing that you're gonna die..."

The worlds of villainy, superherory, and musical theatre collide in a most beautiful and silly fashion.

Joss Whedon, senior geek of the universe, has created something weird-assed and remarkable, and I can't recommend it enough. Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog could be seen by some as indulgent and pitched at a very specific demographic. Those people can fuck off, because there's such a weird and off-kilter energy to this three-part web series that I can't help but hope that Whedon and his remarkable cast (Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion, both of whom are talented enough to make me horribly jealous) go for the gusto and achieve it masterfully.
