	DarkEcho Interview: Jay Russell
		Whether Russell has been exploited mercilessly or otherwise is, no doubt, an unanswerable question, but he has had an identity crisis with his auctorial name.
		Russell's BRIGHT and DOGS protagonist, Marty Burns, is _quite_ a character: "I like Marty," says Russell, "He's who I'm not quite clever enough to be, offering those esprit d'escalier lines that I wish I was quick enough to deliver in real life.
		As for Russell, he thanks a supportive and supporting spouse, and "I continue to await the arrival of fame, fortune and the adoration of screaming multitudes (or should that be the screaming adoration of multitudes?), but am very grateful to be in print and working."

	Earthling Publications - Books
		Jay Russell's new Hollywood mini-epic is a bleakly comic blend of romance and dark weirdness about which one can imagine Bette Davis, Nathaniel West, Col. Kurtz, and Dave Eggers sitting around a trash-can bonfire arguing, laughing, and knocking back shots of cheap cognac.
		Russell's got a top-of-the-line sensibility for both art and entertainment that duplicates no one else in modern literature.
		"Jay Russell's new book is a fantastical quest through a mythical Los Angeles in search of redemption, resurrection, and love — the holy grails of any truly memorable epic — herewith bundled into a tight, exceptionally well-written novella.

	Locus Online: Commentary
		Writers will be compelled to create work which is bold and exciting and innovative because there ain't no other way to get anyone to read the damn stuff.
		What is unfathomable to me is the notion that writers in any other genre would conceivably herald a decline in their field as a good thing.
		As writers - good writers - are compelled to move out of horror because no one will publish the stuff, the range of work will get thinner and the expectations and desires of the audience ever narrower.

	Locus Online: Letters March 1999, Page 2
		I read Jay Russell's eulogy for the horror field in the March issue with great interest.
		I wouldn't think to argue with a working horror writer, especially because I agree with most of his conclusions regarding the dismal state of contemporary horror publishing.
		I sympathize with Jay Russell, whose own writing, which ebulliently resists simple classification as "horror fiction," is one of the brighter lights on the contemporary horror horizon.

		Though a decidedly nonprolific writer, Thomas Tessier has garnered an enviable reputation within horror circles for both his novels and short stories.
		Tessier is neither overly florid nor spare as a writer, but is an exceedingly elegant stylist.
		Joe R. Lansdale has always been an eclectic writer, making a name for himself in horror (for my money "Night They Missed the Horror Show" is the best horror short story of the modern era), but dabbling as well in westerns, crime, the odd comic book, and bizarre and compelling combinations of all those categories.

	Peter Pan has met his match \| csmonitor.com
		What Russell thinks makes "Tuck" stand out is the very thing that made him shy away from it in the first place: its philosophical bent, and the sheer difficulty of adapting its complex ideas to the screen.
		Russell says he didn't try to appease those fans by faithfully adapting the book – it would have been flat-out foolish for him to try.
		There was one scene in the book that Russell knew had to remain in the movie: Angus Tuck (William Hurt) takes Winnie out in a rowboat to explain why human life includes both living and dying.

	BBC - Shropshire Films - Ladder 49 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Scaling new heights of tastelessness, Jay Russell's slow-burning melodrama Ladder 49 masquerades as a reverential tribute to the noble firefighter while lazily exploiting a moviegoing public still coming to grips with the trauma of 9/11.
		Joaquin Phoenix squanders his talent, playing an impossibly nice guy who "runs into burning buildings when everyone else is running out," but the ingratiating bat of his eyelashes isn't enough to fan the flames of this smouldering slagheap of a movie.
		He tousles his son's hair and worries about leaving him fatherless, but the all-American, chest-swelling tone of the film means there's no genuine dilemma; Jack will continue to fight fires as sure as mom bakes apple pie.

	The Movie Report Archive: October 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Despite the fine shadings Moore brings to the character, Ruben and writer Gerald DiPego never give the audience more than a second to doubt Telly's sanity, as literally within minutes she convinces another parent (Dominic West) of a "forgotten" child that there is something shady afoot.
		As he is trapped in a burning building and his colleagues--or, should I say, in keeping with director Jay Russell's heavy hand, brothers--try desperately to rescue him, firefighter Joaquin Phoenix reflects on his career as one of Baltimore's bravest.
		For about half of its running time, director Jay Russell and writer Lewis Colick meander through flashbacks with no apparent rhyme or reason, and their glimpses of downtime between the firefighters resembles not so much true life insight into their world than some bizarre, subtextually homoerotic fantasy.

	EI > DVD > Tuck Everlasting (2002)
		Director Jay Russell, who helmed the sleeper children’s comedy hit “My Dog Skip,” cleverly gives the film a timeless look and feel, delivering a story that should be rewarding for both fans of Babbit’s work and Disney fans in general.
		A whopping three commentary tracks have been included on the disc, which seems like a bit of overkill for what is really a children's release.
		No theatrical trailer is included on the disc (strange), but Buena Vista has included a few Sneak Peeks at other DVD titles, including "Pirates of the Carribbean." French and Spanish subtitles and English captions for the hearing impaired are also included.

		Writer Willie Morris won a Pulitzer Prize for North Toward Home, his 1967 memoir about growing up in Yazoo, MS, and director Jay Russell's adaptation mines the same territory, while focusing on the terrifically personable dog young Willie received in 1942.
		But the film feels hokey, generic and dated; for all the meticulous research that no doubt went into it, it's a vision of the past that seems to have been constructed entirely from old movies.
		Russell shot on location in Canton, MS, and still managed to make it look as though he filmed on a backlot.

		Jones gives a commercial reason for this lack of SF with Third World colors: that Anglo-American SF is a branch of a larger process of economical domination.
		They still believe in the ‘‘consensus future’’ that science fiction has sold to the world - that we are all, regardless of nationality, culture, or ethnicity, bound to be the citizens of a high-tech, romantic, and adventurous spacefaring utopia.
		Dedication is rare, and you have to be pretty dedicated to devote yourself to scribbling futuristic fantasy if you have a pile of other troubles to deal with.’’ So, poverty may be blamed.

		I hate writers who make writing sound like some inherently noble or religious thing, but there is a sense in which it is a calling.
		The only sound reason for being a writer is that you can't resist the desire to do it.
		I hope that my work is not unduly influenced by other writers -- I certainly make no effort to write like anyone other than me -- but the writers who I find most interesting these days are almost all crime writers.
