Bird's The Word
Brooks Barnes has written a 3.5 N.Y. Times article about the party-circuit stress that has affected Hurt Locker producer-screenwriter Mark Boal over the last several months. It's especially interesting to me in that it provides a roundabout explanation why Boal subtly flipped me the bird when I took his picture at a Manhattan Hurt Locker party on 2.23.
It wasn't a hostile flip-off. It wasn't even a stand-up gesture but one semi-camouflaged by a book cover. If a smart guy you know, like and respect gives you the finger, he's (a) fooling around and (b) offering a kind of trust that you won't interpret it the wrong way. But I do think Boal was saying, perhaps in a subconscious way, "I'm starting to really tire of all this Oscar-contention chit-chat crap, and this is my way of quietly conveying that to you and...what the hell, your readers also."

I only flip people off who I know and like. But if someone pisses me off I'll say, "nice going buddy," human behavior really is something.

I have a slightly different explanation, courtesy of Jerry Weintraub's new autobiography, "When I Stop Talking, You'll Know I'm Dead."
"I learned things...about...artists...what drives them, what terrifies them...what they need...so even the most successful of them are haunted by the following thought: 'Who really needs what I'm making?"

The romantic or romance-of-convenience with Bigelow would seem to me what has him on edge.
