Quote of the Day

.

I have just this second decided that Todd Haynes, director of Safe and Velvet Goldmine and Far From Heaven, is an overrated hack. A hack! A nogoodnik! I was always mildly annoyed that the sex scene between Ewan McGregor and Christian Bale in Goldmine was basically nonexistent, but now that I've heard Ewan McGregor talk about the filming of it I'm positively inflamed!

"I did have a sex scene with Christian Bale, which I did to the best of my ability. C'mon, it was great! I was playing an Iggy Pop-type rock star and we have a shag on top of a rooftop in Kings Cross but they wanted to shoot it from another rooftop. We heard, ‘Action!' so we started to slowly [go at it]. Then it went on and on-we were really going at it…with a reach-around. [Laughs]. Then I thought, I would have cum by now so I went round to Christian's ear and went, ‘I think I would have cum by now. I'm going to have a look.' I looked over and they were packing up the cameras! I think they thought it was a sensitive thing, they should just leave it to us."

(via) How dare you, Todd Haynes. How dare you. I am just going to bite my pillow at you!

Nothing like a good "Waiting For Guffman" reference!

I didn't know Cameron Diaz played Ewan McGregor in Velvet Goldmine.
