impressive, where’s Mazursky?
In the first half, Berg. 7-11.
So much for that Scorsese interview we were all hoping for.
I agree….the DP:30 thing has really found itself. Extremely impressive. Way to go David!
116, 159, and 165 were my absolute favorites.
was there a new Sarah Polley dp/30 you missed on the list ?
The count got a little weird, sanj. The Sarah Polley interview will land as a 2012.
There are also a couple of Jean Dujardin pieces in dry dock for the moment.
And Laz, wish I could say that I had Scorsese… but I don’t. Maybe in the next round, as he comes out to LA for events. I’d really like to get SS too, but he’s still shooting Lincoln.
I will push harder for Streep. Pitt & Clooney still seem unlikely.
I’d love to go back to Nolte and Brooks to talk about their other films.
3 or 4 good shoots already scheduled next week. And soon, the insanity that is Sundance.
still waiting for Amber Heard / Anna Farris – so many others.
people that won movie awards from 2010 didn’t make it back in 2011 . very interesting .
What’s up with the links to 132-146?
get Kat Dennisn / Josh Lucas back in a car for another fun ride for dp/30
Carey Mulligan should retire from doing dp/30’s – she’s way too good – she’s like 98% better than everybody else.
some of the older dp/30’s … they made a bigger impact on me – so i automatically assume the actors will be back faster but thats not the case.
