Word on "Rescue"
The news was unofficial 9 or 10 days ago about Werner Herzog's Rescue Dawn playing at the Toronto Film Festival -- now it's official. Earlier today a big-time distributor told me he's seen it and "between this and Grizzly Man, Herzog is enjoying a real rennaissance these days. It's Herzog going back upriver and into the jungle...it's really good. Perhaps not the most brazenly commercial film but what do you expect from Herzog? Christian Bale really goes for it, really out on a limb...and Steve Zahn is also good because he's fairly restrained."

Werner Herzog is perhaps the greatest director who ever lived. There, I said it. Want proof? Aguirre - Stroszek double feature. Done.

I know its a cliche, but how many directors make films that you can look at a frame or two of and know whose they are? I really like this guys films. All you have to do is watch Burden of Dreams to know he's a genius (and he didn't even direct that!).

Ha ha, the irony is hilarious, as no one could possibly understand Herzog's films less than Osama Bin Laden (well, maybe Timothy Treadwell).

Hey, when you spend half your life in caves, you have lots of time to pass. So watching films is a favorite pastime!

Herzog and Wilder stories back to back, I'm liking how this day is shaping up.
