Look/Listen: Interview with Steven Spielberg
Thursday, December 1st, 2011
If you pick up the December 2011 issue of St. Louis Magazine and turn to page 184, you’ll find an interview with director, writer, producer, and all-around Hollywood titan Steven Spielberg. Improbably, this interview was conducted by yours truly. (Crazy, right?) You can also click over to Look/Listen to read the full version of the interview, which includes much more about Spielberg’s two new films that arrive in December, War Horse and The Adventures of Tintin, and about casting, history, story-boarding, shooting on location, and more. I managed to not embarrass myself too much and even snuck in a questions about Jaws. Check it out.

Look/Listen: Q at the WUFS
Friday, September 30th, 2011
The fellow in the above screenshot (the monster on the left, not the suspiciously plastic-looking policeman on the right) is the titular Aztec monster from Larry Cohen’s cult classic Q. I mount something akin to a defense of the film’s merits at Look/Listen in anticipation of next week’s screening from the Webster University Film Series.
