Last night Pete Hammond briefly mentioned Gun Shy, my favorite Sandra Bullock-produced film of all time, and then dropped it. Bullock said nothing (i.e., let's move on), and had little to add when I mentioned it at the after-party. "Some of us really loved that film," I said. "Elvis Mitchell did handstands over it in his N.Y. Times review." This is how good but under-appreciated...

From Elvis Mitchell's interview with Jay-Z : ELVIS MITCHELL : Would you have ever thought there would be a time where you could have a song like “Empire State of Mind” blow up the way it has, and, yet, there aren’t any record stores around any more? Isn’t it strange that we got to this point? JAY-Z : It’s horrible. I mean, you didn’t foresee this specifically, but...

“ ELVIS MITCHELL: You probably don’t remember this, but we met four years ago at the Spotted Pig. It was the night that Bill Clinton was there. You and I were sitting outside having a cigar, actually, and you said, “Man, the world has changed. The president is talking to me about my music!” Do you remember that night? JAY-Z: Yeah, man. ” - Elvis Fucking Mitchell, homie....

This weekend, we met with Quentin Tarantino, who was still in town after a MoMA Q&A with Elvis Mitchell this past Thursday. As if the weekend's snowstorm wasn’t inconvenience enough, his Hugo Boss coat — which contained his I.D., credit cards, and about $2,000 in cash — was stolen from the West Village bar Galway Hooker on Saturday. Taking pity on him, we paid for some French-vanilla...

Quentin Tarantino was interviewed by Elvis Mitchell last night at the Museum of Modern Art's downstairs theatre following a screening of Inglourious Basterds. You could feel the worship in the room as Tarantino made his way down the aisle. He's as much of a celebrity as any big-name actor. Nobody is better at giving an audience a good time. I was standing next to QT during the final few minutes of...

It's all film today. Congratulations to Liv Ullman, who just turned 71. She's quite a good director, and an exceptional actress. Her performance in Scenes from a Marriage is one of the best I've ever seen. Elvis Mitchell's radio show The Treatment has been especially interesting recently. Two weeks ago, he sat down with director and mad genius Werner Herzog, who offers some great (and
