The Onion AV Club’s “Random Roles” feature, where famous and not-so-famous actors give a series of anecdotes about their film and television roles, is a simple format but one that often delivers surprising gems from the most unlikely of sources.

But oh, my. The Udo Kier interview is something else:

So I bought the Bible. The Bible is wonderful. It’s only one book, but you can put two grams of coke on top of the Bible, and you first take a line of coke and then you open the Bible. Because then you understand.

Interesting post about the current fad of digitally grading film with a teal-orange colour palette. It makes skin tones pop against a strongly contrasting background, but also makes everyone look like they’ve drowned in fake tan.

I’m, embarrassingly, a total sucker for fake chrome effects using a similar colour palette, which I suspect is the reason it’s never hugely bothered me.

The AV Club’s roundtable interview with some of the talent behind the Where the Wild Things Are adaptation. I kind of love that Jonze and Eggers just call Catherine Keener “Keener”.
