...is a weblog about the liberal arts 2.0 edited by Jason Kottke since March 1998 (archives). You can read about me and kottke.org here. If you've got questions, concerns, or interesting links, send them along.
Interview with Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy about For Your Consideration and filmmaking in general. Interestingly, they don't write any dialogue for their films (it's all ad-libbed) but only do three takes per scene to get it right. "It's the dialogue aspect of this process where you realize how great, how talented this troupe really is, because they're able to improvise some amazingly, brilliantly funny lines."
Trailer for Christopher Guest's new mockumentary film, For Your Consideration. Yes, Parker Posey is present and accounted for. (via wdik)
Update: The movie's MySpace page has a clip from the movie. (thx, sam)
Update: JJG noticed a certain theme that runs through Guest's work.
