  • Ming has Sunday night’s Simpsons “Silent Bob” clip online in both Quicktime and Windows Media versions, in case ya missed it.
  • Antony Teofilo’s interview with Jersey Girl’s legendary cinematographer, Vilmos Zsigmond, is up in this week’s Renaissance Man column over at the ‘Shoot. Here’s a clip:
AT: After viewing a rough cut of the movie, I was struck by how much the camera moves around. Kevin Smith’s films have, for the most part, been very stationary. JERSEY GIRL changes that.

VZ: It probably comes out that way, but I think this story requires a certain visual treatment. When you have a moving story like JERSEY GIRL, it gives you the opportunity to create some moving shots. I don’t move the camera just to move it. I don’t push in to a character until that’s required by the story. A dolly move should mean something. It should emphasize the storyline. I don’t think we have a lot of camera moves in this movie. I think sometimes we have some nice camera moves, and people will probably notice that, but [when we move the camera] it always relies on the story.

  • It’s multimedia time! Click the thumbnails above for a fan with Brian at his recent Phoenix appearance, a nice photo of that unique street in London, and finally, a spoiler shot of Jason Lee in “Dreamcatcher” (only click if you don’t mind the spoilage!).
  • And finally today, there’s one EVERY year! Our favorite bits:
“Because of the bunny suit, (the victim) didn’t get hurt, but it was unusual to get hit this way,” police officer Chang Lee wrote in a report of Saturday’s incident.

The 29-year-old Easter Bunny, Travis Peterson, described the assault in an interview Monday with the Wausau Daily Herald.

“I was just sitting there in my chair, waving to the kids, and he came up and jumped in my lap and just started hitting my head,” Peterson said. “Little fragments of (paint from) the bunny’s eye got into my eye, and it’s kind of irritating right now.”
