Iannucci-watch continues with the official site for my currently most anticipated film, and oh SHIT you can follow The Thick of It's Malcolm Tucker on twitter.

"DLF.TV is debuting an exclusive interview series known as “Daily David” where David speaks candidly about anything and everything ranging from filmmaking to consciousness. In this video clip, David Lynch tells the story of the origins of The Log Lady."

Sez Pegg: "If 'Shaun of the Dead' was about leaving your '30s and taking responsibility and 'Hot Fuzz' was about being a man, then the next one will be about being an old man. Being fucking 40, which I am approaching. Edgar isn't, the little bastard."

"XLR8R gave anticon. co-conspirators Jel and Odd Nosdam 40 bucks and challenged them to come up with a track in a single afternoon, made solely from records they found at a junk shop in West Berkeley, CA."

Boy do they ever.

"The Canadian tabloid rag, conveniently called, The Canadian Tabloid, has set photos from Edgar Wright's "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World," the just started principal photography in Toronto, Canada."

One year late but still so, so welcome.

Crayola + Animal Collective + Unicorns = :O

So much for pre-ordering: "apparently the Magnet US-editions of “Let The Right One In”, both DVD and BluRay, feature what might be called “gaps” in translation, although gaffes might be a better word." 🙁

A good starting point if you haven't already heard the ParkerLab's remix that was floating around a while back.

Hot off the digital press and completely wicked.

Whoa, Gary Panter interviews Pee Wee: "My theory was always that if a kid laughed at a dirty joke, they already knew something that I didn’t teach them. And if they didn’t know and they didn’t laugh and it went over their heads, then it was fine. It was not a problem. That would continue on to what became the real kids’ show. But I think it was almost the same thing either way."

and!

"I wanted to make Pee-wee #5, Eau de Pee-wee, and then P was going to be my unisex scent. I was going to make it yellow. But I didn’t get to do any of that. The cereal was going to be Pee-wee Chow. I had Ralston Purina give me permission to let the checkerboard be on human food. It was going to be called Pee-wee Chow, just like Dog Chow, and had the checkerboard on it. The commercial was going to be a mom pouring a bowl of it and putting it on the floor and kids crawling up like dogs and eating it on all fours."

"The list of artists involved is typically great: Black Francis (aka Frank Black of the Pixies), Julian Casablancas of the Strokes, Vic Chesnutt, The Flaming Lips, James Mercer of The Shins, Iggy Pop, Gruff Rhys of the Super Furry Animals, Jason Lytle formerly of Grandaddy, Nina Person of the Cardigans and A Camp, Suzanne Vega and… filmmaker David Lynch?"
