Sorry about the downtime. There was an issue where Wordpress was trying to read my temporary address instead of the domain name. It should be all fixed now. Now that the site is up and running, I’m going to get back to work on the gallery.

Brief article about ‘War, Inc.’

Found this in an article on edmontonsun.com:
WAR PARTY: John Cusack isn’t waving the white flag yet when it comes to the Iraq war. While audiences have snubbed In the Valley of Elah, Rendition and The Kingdom, Cusack has not only done the dour Grace is Gone to be released in December, but the satirical War Inc. due out in 2008.
It’s a black-as-crude comedy — a la Grosse Pointe Blank — about the private mercenary machine gone amok in the Middle East.
“It’s as unrestrained as Grace is Gone is restrained,” he says. “It’s about war profiteers, who are the absolute opposite of military families who are sacrificing themselves.”
While War Inc., which co-stars Marisa Tomei and Hilary Duff, isn’t a sequel to 1996’s Grosse Pointe Blank, Cusack acknowledges the two share the same sour comic bearing.
“Sometimes absurdist stuff is the way to play with the darker truths. I love black comedies, too. It’s very hard to get these made, but it was fun … It’s a funny movie, but it’s also meant to be provocative.”

From contactmusic.com:
Oscar winner MARISA TOMEI will always regret turning down a leading role in smash-hit comedy FOUR WEDDINGS + A FUNERAL. The actress reveals she was offered a part - believed to be the one Andie MACDowell landed - but had to reluctantly say no. She explains, “My grandfather was sick at the time, and I didn’t want to leave (New York). I’m sure it would have been fine with him, but I felt like I didn’t want to go anywhere.”

‘Devil’ made her do it

from bostonherald.com:
Marisa Tomei’s character in “Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead” rolls in the hay with two brothers, played by Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke.
The nudity - no big deal.
“Well, it was very much something when I began in my 20s that if you wanted to be a respected actress that is something you didn’t do. And then I was surprised that it came up now at this point in my life,” she laughed. “I figured to do it now better than another 10 years from now, too.”
But Tomei, 42, does have one issue. “I was just disappointed that they paid the guys a helluva lot more than they paid me, and I was the one who was naked! That p—– me off,” she said, laughing.
As Gina, a trophy wife bored by her marriage to Hoffman, Tomei won raves from veteran director Sidney Lumet (“Dog Day Afternoon,” “Serpico”).
“Ever since ‘My Cousin Vinny,’ I just thought she’s one of the best we’ve got,” Lumet said. “She’s also, and this was no small part of wanting her for the movie, completely uninhibited in terms of nudity and things like that. The last thing that I needed was an actress who was like, ‘Oh, God, how are we going to shoot this?’ and all of that. Off goes the robe and it’s like, ‘Let’s go to work.’ That’s so valuable, I can’t tell you, because it relaxes everybody.”
