Music for Girls to Dance to

my boys Kevin and Bean* interviewed ( Franz Ferdinand! )

it's a wee interview, but the lads also played Take Me Out live! =)

*at the left side of kroq's page, select "sights & sound" under "Kevin & Bean".

also check out "When Bush speaks... you should listen!" as the boys play clips of some of bush's finer moments. :D of course, to be fair, there's also "Kevin & Bean are Simply the Best!" with all their blunders and missteps (which would be more enjoyable without that damn song).

and if i haven't lost you yet, click on "ralph's movie beat" (also on the left, under "Kevin & Bean"). not his best movie beat, but the end cracked me up. we must stop garfield: the movie! it is evil personified! seriously.

(no subject)

via newsaskew.com, looks like kevin won't be directing the green hornet after all...

"But now I would like to write it but I don't know about directing, because a) I'm too lazy to direct an action movie but b) I never got into this business to make a movie like that. I got into this business to make movies like Clerks and that was the first movie I made. You look at El Mariachi, you can see what Robert wanted to do from the get-go. I had no interest in shit like that. I like movies where people sit around and talk. I never got into this business to blow shit up or make people run. I sent Harvey [Weinstein] an email saying that I think I jumped into this too soon, and I will happily write it but I can't guarantee that I will end up directing this movie. He was like, "I totally get it. Just write it and see how you feel when you write it". So that's where I'm at right now. I don't know if I have an action movie in me."

i would love to see kevin get back to something low-key like clerks, where he and his witticisms shine. even he admits to being a better writer than director. clerks is brilliant and i adore chasing amy, but for some reason mallrats is my personal favorite - it's much with the talky and the funny, and not so much with the angsty.

and speaking of rats... i now have my very own brodie bruce inaction figure standing beside my monitor, bluntman & chronic comic in hand. *glee*
