They said it
"I'm a pervert so I had no issue with it. I enjoy shooting sex scenes very much. She's an actress; he's an actor. It's mostly make-believe, and when you shout 'cut,' it's over." Darren Aronofsky discussing what it was like to direct his fiance, Rachel Weisz, alongside Hugh Jackman in The Fountain.

Posting update
Sorry for the lack regular posts this week. We were at the Oyhoo Festival in New York and away from our computers. But now we're back and all is well with the world. One thing we did see while in the Big Apple ... we bumped into Borat and celebrity photographer Mark Seliger taking pictures in Times Square on Tuesday around noon. Borat was nice, taking pictures with tourists, but never once broke character.

Borat's anti-Semitic? Who knew?
 This just in. The New York Times thinks Borat may be a tad anti-Semitic. You think?
Early indications are that the film will be a hit. It rocked audiences with laughter at the Cannes Film Festival, where Mr. Baron Cohen was photographed on the beach wearing a neon-green kind of thong, and won an audience award at Michael Moore’s Traverse City Film Festival in Michigan this summer.
Still, “I can almost guarantee you that not everyone will get the joke,” said Richard B. Jewell, a professor of film history at the University of Southern California. But he added: “In my opinion it’s a very healthy thing. Some of best films that have been made in the last 50 years have been black comedies.” He cited “Dr. Strangelove,” which poked fun at nuclear holocaust.
“What can be more serious?” he asked. “It makes people think about these things in ways they don’t when there are more straightforward, serious, sober films.”
