David Lowery On "St. Nick"

The cat's out of the bag now; as eagle-eyed readers may have already ascertained, when "St. Nick" is seen in its final form, it'll have the Sisyphean logo on the left in the credits, alongside the Austin Film Society emblem and any other entity that steps in to help the film between now and then. It's one of ten features that's been invited to this year's IFP Narrative Lab.

David is editing as I post.

Nuff said?!

Norma Shearer

Although she was the boss' wife, Shearer didn't throw her weight around in any obvious way. "She always smiled," recalled Robert Young. "And it wasn't a false smile, it was a lovely, sweet, gentle smile. They would ask her something, "Miss Shearer," or "Mrs. Thalberg," and she would just smile and she'd say 'No.' And that was it. . . . She just smiled, and, 'No.' Bingo. Took care of the whole thing."

Margaret McCurry

"Global warming is a fact. Independence from foreign resources should be a goal. Use environmentally correct materials."

Cecil B. De Mille And The Bathroom

De Mille discovered the bathroom as a device for exploring domestic life. To a generation brought up never to mention personal sanitation, he introduced the depiction of bathing and the attendant disrobing. In ornate new temples of cleanliness, undressing and partial nudity were so obvious a necessity that even the most pious of audiences could hardly object. De Mille's bathrooms and boudoirs eventually became something of a joke, but to the moviegoers of World War I, of cold-water flats and restrictions, they were riveting images of luxury and beauty.

Lingering scenes in which the heroine and, sometimes, the hero washed and anointed themselves in preparation for revels of a magnitude and splendor that surprised even true aristocrats were a prolonged rapture. For the price of a ticket, shopgirls were awakened to dreams of fashion and style. For the males in the audience, the director made Sylvia Ashton, Kathlyn William, Florence Vidor, and Mildred Harris look fetching in a variety of bed and bathroom scenes, or in shipwrecks that managed to show the leading lady as a castoff clutching wet and torn garments on deserted islands.
