Somebody Please Give Paul Mazursky Money For His 3-D Orgy Idea

Maybe you’ve been wondering what some of your favorite 70’s directors have been up to ever since they stopped making movies. It turns out that in the case of Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice and Blume in Love director Paul Mazursky, he’s just been laying low, waiting for someone to give him money to shoot an orgy scene in 3-D. Mazursky recently told The Wall Street Journal : “They want to remake Bob and Carol , and I said, ‘If you give me a lot of money upfront and you do the orgy in 3D, I’d be interested.'” Okay, this needs to happen. Here’s why.

Lovely, Still’s Martin Landau on Acting Style and the Similarities Between Alfred Hitchcock and Woody Allen

An interview with Martin Landau really shouldn’t be called that — more than just a simple Q&A, it’s as though you’re sitting in on an Actor’s Studio session taught by the 82-year-old actor. Though my talk with Landau this week was pegged to the release of Lovely, Still , a new indie film where he finds late-in-life romance with Ellen Burstyn, it took no time before he began discussing the very nature of acting itself using some of his most famous roles as examples — including his Oscar-winning turn as Bela Lugosi in Ed Wood and his characters in Alfred Hitchcock’s North By Northwest and Woody Allen’s Crimes and Misdemeanors . In fact, when it comes to actors, it turns out that Hitchcock and Allen have more in common than you might expect.

Watch Two Women Claim the Record for Longest Cinematic Kiss

Back when Alfred Hitchcock filmed the famously long kissing scene for Notorious , the passionate clinch between Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman was in serious danger of violating the Production Code. I’d love to see what Hitch would make of the new lesbian film Elena Undone , which set out to break the record for the longest kiss in cinema history.

Middle Men Trailer: Luke Wilson is Your Gateway to Porn

Luke Wilson is only 38, but his career’s already gone through several phases. There was the indie phase where he played on-screen muse to Wes Anderson, the leading man phase where films like Old School tried to exploit his everyman appeal, the gotta-pay-the-rent phase where he ambled over a map of the Unites States recalling his sexual exploits for AT&T or something, and then the HBO phase , which is upcoming. So where does the new trailer for Middle Men fit into things?

Happy 50th, Psycho. You’re Not the Best Hitchcock Movie. Love, Movieline

Psycho , Alfred Hitchcock’s final black-and-white film and his most hailed overall, turns 50 today. God love the spooky thing! It’s stark, slick, and full of chilling nuances that came to define highbrow horror cinema, but the abject popularity of Psycho always had more to do with its explosive release in 1960 than its place in the Hitchcock canon. Filmgoers were famously shocked by the the early death of the marquee star, not to mention the revelation of Norman Bates’s true character at the movie’s climax, but while those qualities are fun, but they don’t make for Hitchcock’s greatest film. In fact, when you break down most of Psycho ‘s best assets, you realize that other Hitch movies did them better, smarter, and cooler. Join us as we hack at Psycho and defend the Master of Suspense’s other works for all eternity.
