Here’s the new trailer for Neill Blomkamp’s District 9. I really feel bad for the aliens. They just want to go home.

We watched Moon this past weekend. We hope to watch Rian Johnson’s The Brothers Bloom if it’s showing in a theater at a reasonable distance. Here’s the opening scene via Hulu.

A Scene from...Arrested Development (For British Eyes Only)

  • Michael: One of those British guys came up to me and told me to back off. I can't believe it, but Dad may have been telling the truth. This may be dangerous.
  • Gob: So you came back here to hide like a child.
  • Michael: What are you doing locked in my office, exactly?
  • Gob: Hiding from a child. Big difference.
  • Michael: Gob, Steve Holt is your son. He probably just feels a connection.
  • Gob: He doesn't know what he feels. I'm tired of being told - my God. What is this feeling?
  • [Schmaltzy music begins to play]
  • Michael: You know, the feeling that you're feeling is just what many of us call... a "feeling".
  • Gob: It's not like envy, or even hungry.
  • Michael: Could it be love?
  • Gob: I know what an erection feels like, Michael. No, it's the opposite - it's like my heart is getting hard.
  • [the music reaches its crescendo]
  • Gob: Maybe I am ready to be a father.

I’ve been coming here every summer of my adult life, and every summer there she is oiling and lotioning, lotioning and oiling. I can’t take it anymore!

Where's the humanity?

Michael Bay is laughing straight to the bank, while Duncan Jones and Rian Johnson go unnoticed at the cinema.There is no god!

I shot this footage when we visited San Francisco. It was a delightful but strange experience.

A scene from Rushmore...

  • Dr. Nelson Guggenheim: We're putting you on what we call sudden death academic probation.
  • Max Fischer: And what does that entail?
  • Dr. Nelson Guggenheim: It entails that if you fail another class, you'll be asked to leave Rushmore.
  • Max Fischer: In other words, I'll be expelled.
  • Dr. Nelson Guggenheim: That's correct.
  • Max Fischer: Can I see some documentation on that, please?
  • [Guggenheim hands him his transcript]
  • Dr. Nelson Guggenheim: Too many extracurricular activities, Max. Not enough studying
  • Max Fischer: Dr. Guggenheim, I don't want to tell you how to do your job. But the fact is, no matter how hard I try, I still might flunk another class. If that means I have to stay on for a post-graduate year, so be it...
  • Dr. Nelson Guggenheim: - We don't offer a post-graduate year.
  • Max Fischer: Well, we don't offer it yet.

Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery—celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from—it’s where you take them to.
— Jim Jarmusch
