Books: The Film Snob*s Dictionary (2006)

ilovehotdogs:

Despite an off-putting title, The Film Snob*s Dictionary is an informative and hilarious read. A CliffsNotes of film for those looking to deepen their movie related conversations or get a quick refresher course. Chock full of directors and actors from Kenneth Anger to Steve Zahn, behind the scenes factoids, terms, and etiquette every “snob” should know. Did you know that Martin Scorcese has used a female editor, Thelma Schoonmaker for every film since Raging Bull in 1980? They met as film students at NYU. Or that true film geeks consider the third row to be the perfect viewing experience? Filmmaker Peter Kubelka took this ideal to a ridiculous level when he created The Invisble Cinema within New York’s Anthology Film Archives during the 70s. A place where the viewer could sit in a little pod, and have no interaction with other viewers around them (see: here). I’m just happy to get a seat in the back and some nachos.

My lovely friend Ina invited me to see a work in progress by a master filmmaker at the NYFF. No one knew which film it would be although much speculation circulated. 
As you guys might have guessed from the photo above, it was Martin Scorsese’s Hugo that we got to see. IN 3D. Not a big fan of 3D, but Martin Scorsese was less than three feet away from me, guys. I almost died. Details about the film as well as thoughts on the festival are forthcoming!
Next up is seeing Wes Anderson at the 10th Anniversary showing of The Royal Tenenbaums on Thursday.

Beautiful Girl With The Dragon Tattoo images online
A bunch of arty Girl With The Dragon Tattoo images have been released and we absolutely love them. Despite the fact they don’t really look like stills from the movie - especially the above image, unless Fincher’s boldly experimenting with Hipstamatic video cameras -  they still increase our anticipation levels by highlighting just how much Rooney Mara’s getting into character. Check ‘em out below and tell us what you think.

When this movie came out, I never thought it would have a shelf life—even though it is good.
Then Tumblr.
