"Like most 'brought to you by...' attempts to connect with the disaffected, it's delivered in an emasculated, cloying wheeze that serves as a cutesy defense mechanism for a guy who's trying so hard to be sincere, he forgets to say what he actually means"Read the review in its entirety. It is intensely gratifying. I promise.
Released September 22.
"This film traces the early career of Bob Dylan in a manner no other has ever attempted telling his tale from his birth in Duluth, Minnesota; through school and college; across his years as New York’s bright young star, through to his electric phase, culminating with the controversial 1966 world tour. Featuring interviews with a host of friends, colleagues and associates from that era, and numerous others, rare and often previously unseen footage, daring and outspoken contributions from the very finest Dylan writers [such as Derek Barker, CP Lee and Clinton Heylin] and a host of other features, this film is among the finest Bob Dylan documentaries yet to emerge."
"We are neither the light, nor the message. We are the messengers."
"It still amazes me, that you don't have to think about what you do, once you've established a routine. You can think any thoughts, draw your conclusions, contradict them, just like an angel, but without the exclusivity.
Meanwhile you create something! Something to eat, a chair, a fur hat, a pizza. Lot's of necessary things, and plenty of them, so there'll be enough some day. At the same time, you must think about what isn't necessary and what's still missing. Otherwise you'd only have things that already exist. And you'd be bored."
Here is the front of the house. It's an old house-turned-duplex, and our side is on the right.

Living room, shot #3. This is where we do a lot of our reading.
This is the kitchen! And that table is where we do a lot of our reading.
Yes, we have an indoor window. It's pretty nice.

These lead to the dungeon/torture chamber.
This is the basement. This is where we go to watch movies, play video games, and stay cool in the summer. (the basement stays monumentally cooler than the upstairs)
Music room, shot #1; Equipped with an electric piano, vintage synths, and recording equipment. It is also a wonderful room to relax in and listen to music via the record player.
Music room, shot #2."If you think I WORSHIP SATAN because of something you see in the 'Closer' video [with its images of a crucified monkey]- great!"ANNDDD for the conclusion: Because Trent Reznor talks about wicked, satanic blasphemy + DC Talk proudly admitting to watching Nine Inch Nails videos + liking those videos and hiring Simon Maxwell to direct their video = GOING TO HELL.

"I've always been into rock 'n roll, but the other two guys were in such reverse musical patterns at that time, that I think we came out as this, this thing that nobody could really put their finger on, and go, is it Pop? Is it AC? Is it a boy band? Is it R'nB? Is it Hammer? You know, they couldn't figure it out."

"Saving this scene until mid-film is a narrative blunder, because the audience needs to empathize with Max in order to like him and understand what drives him."This is exactly what the game, or should I say, the original storyline accomplished. Its portrayal of Max's unspoken plight was indeed made clear, and his taste for revenge (to an extent) did seem justified. But most importantly, from the very beginning (and this is where the movie lost points) we could understand his anger. There was never any confusion as to why you were Max Payne, and why Max Payne had nothing to lose.

"I wanted this to be good. I kept lying to myself and saying it would get better any minute.
People who say I am disappointed because it isn't the video game need to understand I didn't want the video game I wanted an action film that captured the essence of the game.
We are left with no reason to care for Max Payne. If I was the writer I would have been ashamed to have my name attached.
Max Payne got the Indy treatment.
I really want my money back on this one. I felt insulted that they thought this script was a passable story"
