With the running back training camp preview, you sort of get a two-for-one. With only two fullbacks on the roster, it wasn't worth giving the position its own three-to-four-day period. Nonetheless, you'll still have two full days to talk all you want about Lawrence Vickers and Charles Ali , as well as continuing the discussion on the running backs . Romeo Crennel did a horrible job utilizing the roster...

Remember those comments Ray Edwards made on ESPN a couple days ago? Long story short, Edwards reacted to Brett Favre having a personal locker room in New York by saying, "If you don't want to share a locker room with [your teammates], that's kind of b.s." Well, Chilly came to Favre's defense on Friday while also jabbing Edwards: "I talked to [former Vikings fullback] Tony Richardson...

Tonight on Newsnight, watch Hazel Blears' childhood appearance in the film A Taste of Honey. The story, I'm told, is that the director Tony Richardson turned up in Pendelton, part of Salford, spotted a group of street urchins, including Hazel Blears and her brother, and wanted to film them. Their parents insisted that they get dressed up in their best clothes, so a five-year-old Blears appears wearing...

The release of the Land of the Lost movie actually made no nostalgic for something: the summer of 2001, when I moved to New York, and Bubble Boy the Touchstone release starring a pre- Donnie Darko Jake Gyllenhaal that, by virtue of its very existence, ensured that Audition would not be the single most dysfunctionally weird movie that I saw after my fall off the turnip truck. Directed by Blair Hayes...

Robert Sellers on Richard Harris's pitch battles On the Tahitian location for the 1962 remake of Mutiny on the Bounty things were not good: torrential rain, scorpions, rats and an on-edge Marlon Brando, who had already nearly come to blows with co-star Richard Harris. Into this maelstrom landed Lindsay Anderson, keen to persuade Harris to star in his film of David Storey's novel This Sporting Life....

Brian Baldinger took some time to check out the new Jets facilities. This morning we’ll be linking to three of these videos. In the first video (MTV Cribs-esque), Tony Richardson and Rex Ryan act as ambassador to Brian Baldinger, showing him the locker room, cafeteria, film room and indoor field.

Karel Reisz was, along with filmmakers like Lindsay Anderson, Tony Richardson, Michael Grigsby and others, one of the guiding intelligences behind the British Free Cinema movement of the late 1950s. The films produced and screened under the loose banner of this movement displayed a versatile surface realism coupled with an interest in inventive sound/image experiments, necessitated by the crude equipment...

Apart from being a pre-code smut-holocaust, THE STORY OF TEMPLE DRAKE is a quite weird adaptation of William Faulkner’s Sanctuary (later adapted by Tony Richardson, disastrously according to received wisdom). Some American TV writer once said of that book, “Faulkner thought he was going to the limit by having his heroine screwed with a coke [...]

DVD: Tony Richardson's 1962 film The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner is a touchstone of the British New Wave, that late 1950s/early 1960s movement that made a virtue of realism and spontaneity.
