The Great Capone Interviews The Extra-Great Joon-ho Bong! Director Of The Super-Extra-Double Great THE HOST!!
Sunday, March 4th, 2007Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
I mean every bit of that hyperbole, too. I love this film. I love this filmmaker.
And after spending 25 hours pressed up against him during BNAT this year, Capone and I are actually married in some cultures. Awwwwww, yeah.
Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here with my conversation with THE HOST director Joon-ho Bong (actually it’s Bong Joon-ho, but I’m going to Westernize his name for the purposes of this article), who also blew my tiny mind a couple years back with a memorable police procedural thriller called MEMORIES OF MURDER, about cops tracking down a serial killer, who ultimately never gets caught. Sounds familiar? It’s a stellar work, and THE HOST is a fantastic monster flick that isn’t afraid to actually take the time to get and know it’s characters. So I sat down with South Korean’s finest, Mr. Bong, and his translator. I should warn those of you who wish to remain pure going into THE HOST this weekend, there are some spoilers scattered throughout the interview. Enjoy…
An Interesting Morsel Of SPEED RACER News!!
Sunday, March 4th, 2007Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
Reeeeeeeally?
If this is true, it starts to make sense of what attracts the Wachowskis to SPEED RACER, a project I consider just a wee bit batshit. I mean, I know people enjoyed the cartoon. Hell, I watched it every morning before school when I was six. But as a giant-budget feature film?
As long as they cast one of the Olsen Twins as Chim-Chim, I’m in.
But this rumor is a fascinating one. Check it out:
Hi Harry,
Just a little bit of info you may or may not want to put on the site:
Updated! We Know Who’s Shooting SPEED RACER!!
Sunday, March 4th, 2007Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
Since I posted this story, I got a tip from “M For Monkey,” a primate in a position to know what’s what. Seems that David Tattersall is going to be the cinematographer on SPEED RACER.
Seems to completely support the way of thinking that was implied by the story below, which was a tip about someone who wasn’t doing the film.
I know that sounds weird, but take a look… you’ll see what I mean.
And thanks, “M”.

PS2 controller frankengrafted to PSP
Sunday, March 4th, 2007Filed under: Gaming, Peripherals
Taking after our own Ben Heck in fantastically useful/less console hackymods, a user by the name of F00 f00 has managed to successfully graft a full size PlayStation 2 controller — not that junk-ass rumble-free PS3 affair — to the rear end of his PSP. Homebrew and emulation will certainly benefit from the addition, but it’s pretty clear that any PSP so heavily jacked into and expanded upon would be best suited for showing off on forums where cred and props far outweigh everyday usefulness.

25 Years Ago, Or The Best Genre Year Ever! Part One Of A Special AICN Series!
Sunday, March 4th, 2007I was twelve years old in 1982.
Man, that’s a great age when you’re movie-crazy.
Keep in mind, I’d been weaned on a pretty remarkable run of films, things like JAWS and THE EXORCIST and HALLOWEEN and THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE and TIME BANDITS and SUPERMAN II and THE SHINING and MAD MAX 2 aka THE MOTHERFUCKIN’ ROAD WARRIOR and a li’l number called STAR WARS and another li’l number called RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. To see these movies in first run… to be in the audience as we all saw them for the very first time, as we laughed and cheered and freaked out and how unbelievably GREAT everything was… to get the full impact of them… I had a charmed childhood. It was a glorious time to be an audience, like movies were expressly being made for me.
