Today’s a blah day, dontcha think? Want to brighten it up a wee bit? Check out the very last Gothamist Interview from yours truly. As I mentioned last week, I’m no longer writing for Gothamist, but I did have this one last interview to do, and luckily, it’s a pretty good one. It’s with Josh Horowitz who’s new book “The Mind of the Modern Moviemaker: 20 Conversations With the Next Generation of Filmmakers” came out today. Josh also writes the blog Better Than Fudge, and while his opinion of today’s Oscar noms certainly differ to some degree from mine (upset by the Walk the Line omissions but happy about Munich attention? Blech), it’s still worth checking out every day. I mean for one thing, he actually adds content to it regularly (which is more than some of us seem to be able to do recently). For another, he’s actually funny (which is more than some of us seem to be able to do, like, ever). And that book of his is actually a pretty good read too. Go figure. Although maybe most importantly, he says his favorite movie candy is Red Vines, and anyone who has an intelligent taste bud knows that Red Vines kick Twizzlers ass!
Meanwhile, I’m just trying to break out of this funk, and the gray rain doesn’t seem to be helping. Oh well.
