Julia Child and The French Chef... was one of Good Eats’three main pillars, the trio of influences Brown points to as the inspiration and foundation for his show: Alongside Child—whose “anyone can cook” method is the basis of the instructional cooking show at we know it—were Mr. Wizard (the educational aspect), and Monty Python (bringing the entertainment value).
"Sleepwalk With Me" is streaming on Netflix. If you're not familiar with Mike Birbiglia, go watch that right now. Then come back and read this interview. ("My Girlfriend's Boyfriend" is on there too, and it's supposed to be good but I haven't seen it yet.)
The list of Paul Thomas Anderson movies you love is probably pretty long. When you’ve directed movies like The Master, There Will Be Blood, Magnolia, and Boogie Nights, you’ve earned yourself a fair amount of (deserved) attention. There is, of course, always a beginning, and Cigarettes & Coffee is just that. Shot on a borrowed camera in 1993, the 24-minute short debuted at Sundance and lead to Anderson’s feature directorial debut with Hard Eight. The short focuses on five characters in a coffee shop outside of Vegas and was written with actor Philip Baker Hall in mind. You can watch Magnoliaor another film about family dysfunction later; for now keep it short and sweet (definitely, just short) with Cigarettes & Coffee. [viaBlackBook]
