Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson: Artist On Artist

Liz Miller
Posted October 29, 2007

It's been about two months since Owen Wilson's baffling suicide attempt, and maybe it's the split-screening enabling him to speak with Wes Anderson remotely, but he seems so sad and fragile here. It doesn't help that whoever is behind the Myspace Artist-on-Artist series is clearly shouting out questions for Wilson to parrot back to Anderson. But even if the two collaborators were able to speak freely -- about The Darjeeling Limited, about their own lives -- one imagines that Owen would still be a little disconnected from the proceedings. A little lost.

Women In Film

YouTuber Eggman 913 sure does like his muses morphed. A couple of months ago, he posted the gorgeous Women in Art, which chronicled the history of the female face in Western painting. As each lovely mug gradually transformed in a new one, Eggman not only made his main point (namely, the painters always have and always will love pretty girls), it also became clear that the technology he was employing functioned as a fascinating tool to investigate on the evolution of the art form.

Now Eggman has taken on another genre of women -- movie stars. From silents to talkies, Pickford to Theron, we present the evolution of the leading lady. Here's the full list: Mary Pickford, Lillian Gish, Gloria Swanson, Marlene Dietrich, Norma Shearer, Ruth Chatterton, Jean Harlow, Katharine Hepburn, Carole Lombard, Bette Davis, Greta Garbo, Barbara Stanwyck, Vivien Leigh, Greer Garson, Hedy Lamarr, Rita Hayworth, Gene Tierney, Olivia de Havilland, Ingrid Bergman, Joan Crawford, Ginger Rogers, Loretta Young, Deborah Kerr, Judy Garland, Anne Baxter, Lauren Bacall, Susan Hayward, Ava Gardner, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, Lana Turner, Elizabeth Taylor, Kim Novak, Audrey Hepburn, Dorothy Dandridge, Shirley MacLaine, Natalie Wood, Rita Moreno, Janet Leigh, Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, Ann Margret, Julie Andrews, Raquel Welch, Tuesday Weld, Jane Fonda, Julie Christie, Faye Dunaway, Catherine Deneuve, Jacqueline Bisset, Candice Bergen, Isabella Rossellini, Diane Keaton, Goldie Hawn, Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon, Jessica Lange, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sigourney Weaver, Kathleen Turner, Holly Hunter, Jodie Foster, Angela Bassett, Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Meg Ryan, Julia Roberts, Salma Hayek, Sandra Bullock, Julianne Moore, Diane Lane, Nicole Kidman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, Reese Witherspoon, and Halle Berry.

Michael Cera/Jonah Hill Interview Goes Superbad

Drew Baldwin
Posted August 10, 2007

Continuing the trend of grassroots viral campaigns (a la Knocked Up), here the stars of Superbad are provoked into an on-camera meltdown by a relentless press junket interviewer -- or are they? Probably not, since the interviewer happens to be Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright, who also did the faux trailer “Don’t” for Grindhouse.

Although the trend of fake interviews and cast freak-outs is becoming prevalent, the reactions of Michael Cera and Jonah Hill are so realistic we had to take another look. However, there’s an subtle tongue-in-check quality to the interview, and Jonah and Michael are in Superbad character (Wright even admits, “It’s like in the--he’s like he is in the film.”), and the gratuitous reprise “What does it mean to be Superbad?” brings it all together.

The Wii Lebowski

So normally, when one of us here at TDR finds a video that blows them away, they get first crack at writing it. But that's not possible today, as this mash-up of Wii Bowling and dialogue from The Big Lebowski literally killed Felicia Williams.

I'm serious. The paramedics are on their way. Um, it's not looking too good. That's... Wow, that's a lot of blood. Does anyone know CPR? Anyone?

Oh, wait, I guess I do. Hmmm. Well. Just let me finish watching this...
