...Warmerdam also uses film loops to create a sense of rhythm. "Empty House" is a series of brief shots which provide something like a tour of a house. Even though you cannot tell where the camera is taking you from one shot to the next, each is held for exactly the same amount of time, which creates a very distinct rhythm. The combined discontinuity and precision, repeated infinitely through the loop, provides an interesting and unexpected contrast...
After the meekness of Travis came Liam Gallagher, Oasis' lead singer, strutting about the stage as though about to inherit the earth. This was Oasis just as the crowd wanted it, a band impudent enough to counter criticisms of its Beatles-like sound by displaying a video of New York that culminated in a shot of John Lennon. Liam was appropriately swaggering, blithely lapping up the audience's cheers, while brother Noel let his guitar...
...Monday night the debate came to Harvard as Charles Fried, former U.S. Solicitor General and Harvard Law School professor, and Catharine A. MacKinnon, a professor of law at the University of Michigan squared off on the VAWA inside a packed Ames Courtroom.

If a film is enjoyable to make and fun and comes easy to me, then I feel that it can't be worth much. I won't put a value on it until I've suffered through the film's making - until I've been full...
...idea to make the next film. And if that idea is a light idea like Small Time Crooks, then I go with it. If it's a heavy idea like Interiors, then fine, I'll go with that. It doesn't have anything to do with my outside life, though - it doesn't really involve anything but survival in the room that I write. I'm just so thrilled to have an idea to write and not be empty - if the next idea was a broad comedy, I'd do it. But if it was a comedy about death...
