Kim Morgan: A Good Cop Is Hard To Find: Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:48:49 +0000

Werner Herzog's approach to "the truth" has always been fascinating, fearless, at times ferocious and to continue in this alliterative vein, faithful. Faithful to life -- to its wonderful or horrifying craziness, to its lyrical splendor, and to its appalling ugliness that in turn, can often reveal a deep, multi-faceted beauty. Life is unclean. Life is violent. Life is corrupt. Life is fantastical. Life is chaos. Life is, yes, beautiful. Watch his Lessons of Darkness , concerning the Kuwait fires and you're left breathless by their destructive magnificence. As the oil wells burn we hear Prokofiev, Verdi, Wagner, Grieg and gloriously, Mahler's "Resurrection" (2nd) Symphony. Interestingly, Mahler conceived the second Resurrection as recalling positive remembrances for the dead. Yes. Laudable thoughts. Burn baby, burn -- in a wonderfully optimistic and exalting pitch. This feels like Herzog. And Herzog feels like Herzog. When meeting him, I was so inspired by his ...

Blake Lively Talks Lying Naked On Top Of Alan Arkin

Blake Lively's next big screen role is a runaway drug-addled S&M; video star who seeks refuge in the arms of a much older man in 'The Private Lives of Pippa Lee.' The 'Gossip Girl' star tells Parade magazine just what it was like lying naked on top of 75-year-old screen legend Alan Arkin. "Apparently naked, not fully naked," she explained. "I was lying partially naked on Alan Arkin, but strategic body parts were covered. It's always scary when you're in front of strangers half naked, but the fact that it was with Alan, honestly, didn't make it any weirder. I think being with a young dude would have been more awkward because I might have been like, 'Well, does he think I look cute right now?'" Blake also told the magazine about being dragged around on a dog leash by her lesbian movie aunt, Julianne Moore. "Pippa does get very dark," she said. "Like, that was me on a dog leash being led around for a photo shoot by Julianne Moore, who plays a lesbian photographer. It sounds ...
