- What is Jeff Goldblum doing on Law & Order: Criminal Intent? (Slate) – For reasons unknown, Nichols generally eschews the customary overcoat in favor of—in one key episode—a ski parka over a leather jacket over a fleece over a tie over a shirt, performing a number of his civil duties with his arms hanging slightly out and down, like a 4-year-old bundled up for a snow fight. In warmer climes, he glides behind his colleagues with his hands stuck in his pockets and a wan, dubious grin imprinted on his face. Words are exchanged. The words are normal Law & Order words, but you wouldn't know it: Goldblum turns dialogue inside-out with stylized speech and a range of pregnant pauses, looping his eyes around the room with each caesura as if tracking an imagined hummingbird.

Kanadalainen elokuva-arkisto
NFB:n blogista löytyi pari aika vinkaa merkintää, joissa esitellään Kanadan elokuva-arkistoa – siis sitä fyysistä varastoa, jossa filmikeloja säilötään. Ensimmäisessä mainitaan, että varastossa vallitsee normaalia suurempi ilmanpaine, jottei ovenavaus päästä likaista ilmaa sisään. Lisäksi minua viehätti kovasti maininta sinisestä tarramatosta, joka imee itseensä töhnää. Toisessa merkinnässä paneudutaan elokuvien restaurointiin.

- B-kuvien kunkku Roger Corman kertoo Targets-leffan synnystä – Peter Bogdanovich had been my assistant. (My assistant before that was Francis Coppola and after Francis had worked for me on a few films, I gave him a chance to direct.) I did the same thing with Peter. I said, 'Here's the problem: The picture must star Boris Karloff, but he can only work for these days.'?? And Peter came up with the idea of Boris as an actor doing a traditional horror film, and in that way we could take some footage out of some of the horror films that Boris had done for me before, and also cut away to the boy and tell a parallel story.??
