BadAss John Turturro Makes Documentary

Having just watched Quiz Show and Millers Crossing over the past few months courtesy On Demand and having been a fan of his since his debut. Plus his role as Jesus in the Big Lebowski is perfect. Check out this snippet of dialogue:

When I got today's Village Voice sampler email I find in a blog entry this:

John Turturro talked to the Voice about Beyond Wiseguys, his new documentary exploring Italian American's contributions to filmmaking. Interview by Eudie Pak

Village Voice: What do you hope audiences will take away from your new documentary Beyond Wiseguys? What made you want to this project?

John Turturro: I'd like audiences to realize that Italian Americans have been a major creative force behind-the-scenes in Hollywood since American movies began, and that their influence on American films isn't completely defined by writing, directing or acting in mob movies, although some of these movies are masterpieces and I'm proud of them too. I wanted to do this project because I feel very personal about my background. It's very important to me, both personally obviously, and professionally. I've directed and co-written a couple of things, and I've acted in many films, and who you are or whatever your emotional makeup is is part of your instrument that you have to play on and a lot of that depends on how you've grown up and what you've perceived, what you've been around physically or emotionally. You bring your background to what you do, and make art out of it, and this is what this film is about.

The Last Thing I Needed, Was the First Thing This Morning...

I was forced by my Tax-man to bring this Blog out in the open before I had everything in place.

Like the fact I don't have the About page done and an apt description of what ZuDfunck's Critical Mess means. But I will work Furiously today to get that together so you folks have a more practical experience and make ZuD a worthwhile candidate for burning a feed or making a bookmark of this site. I have been doing ZuDfunck for a long time maybe four years and it is just now that I feel I have something of merit so while the blogads run attracting you over here cut me some slack as I make it one of your regular reads...

July 27th Promises Great Things in Celluloid

While  watching Network Television sports this past weekend I found out that more than just the Simpson’s movie is coming out. I saw a whole slew of scare you out of your seat feature films were coming and even a good one, some film about black dudes taking up golf and terrorizing  white guys in the clubhouse john.

I will nail down the particulars in the next few days for all you movie goers can set your weekend and send Twitter messages on what your blow by blow experiences will be…

ZuD doesn’t go to the show anymore sixty bucks versus 3.99 for a DVD rental is much more palatable for me. Cause everyone knows the great films and movies have all been made and we are just now are getting sequels to the past classics, be they movies or extended TV show plots. The only real creatively is what is going on HBO and I understand that finally. There is no worse feeling in the world than to be leaving the theater and realizing you just got snookered by the latest Spielberg, Scorsese or Billy Wilder wannabe…

The last Movie I went to the show for was Chinatown as I recall and that movie just set me on my ass for days. “Forget it Jake it’s Chinatown”
