Scott Derrickson on U23D<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Filmmaker Scott Derrickson<\/strong> found some time in the middle of his hard work on The Day the Earth Stood Still<\/em><\/strong> to comment on my euphoric reaction to U23D. He writes<\/a>:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I had a very similar experience Jeffrey. The new Technology is astounding, and I now understand why Cameron is obsessed with it. It\u2019s a new kind of cinema. There is no frame. It\u2019s not something you watch, it\u2019s something you\u2019re IN. And like you, I\u2019m so glad the experience of the technology was matched by the performance of my favorite band. Truly amazing, on many levels.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then author Robert Keeley <\/strong>emailed me to express his agreement with my footnote about Bono\u2019s controversial concert headband. Turns out he blogged about this [correction\u2026] two years ago!<\/a><\/p>\n

Another LeConte LeComedy<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The director of The Widow of St. Pierre<\/strong><\/em> looks like he\u2019s still in the mood for wacky comedy. His next film<\/a>\u2018s about a ski resort. I still haven\u2019t seen My Best Friend<\/strong><\/em>, so I have some catching up to do.<\/p>\n

Del Toro\u2019s Hobbit update<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The road goes ever, ever on<\/a> in the saga of the troubled Hobbit <\/em>production.<\/span><\/p>\n
