 village voice > film > Venom & Eternity by J. Hoberman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
"Films of the Situationist International" (April 28 through May 1) opens with situationist leader Guy Debord's film adaptation of Society of the Spectacle and a 1994 portrait of the artist-provocateur; it includes a reconstructed Debord film-event and a pair of Asian genre films "détourned" by his disciples.
Isou treats the film material with the utmost contempt, inserting fl leader, scratching the emulsion, running footage upside down or in reverse.
Everything is accompanied by grandiose, jejune pronouncements and the ranting chant of a hyper-aggressive soundtrack: "I'd rather give you a migraine than nothing at all." There's even a love story that ends when the belligerent young protag kicks out his girlfriend and she is deported to Norway.

 Foundas On Film
But as Toronto 2005 winds to a close, the only thing people seem to be able to agree on is that, more so than almost any other film festival, this one is what you make of it.
The films themselves won't deal explicitly with Mozart or his work, but will rather look to several recurrent themes from the latter stage of the composer's career — transformation, forgiveness, reconciliation — as the starting points from which to tell their own unique stories in their own cultural idioms.
On any given day during any given film festival, I will see at least four and often five new films, which at the end of a festival like Toronto can mean 40-50 movies digested in less than two weeks' time.

His speeches are punctuated with “y’alls” and exaggerated vowels, and even when he watches television, his animated face hides nothing of the venom, joy, dismay, or elation he feels.
While most of the footage featuring Carville and Stephanopoulos is filmed in cinema verite style, the filmmakers also step outside their observational roles.
Instead, the film tries to show Clinton as a person without focusing too much on the man himself — it leaves the image improvement job to the war room staff.

David Schifino has been playing the underground rave circuit as DJ Venom since the early '90s, after cutting his teeth as a hip-hop battle DJ.
Finding the hard-core techno scene a better fit, Venom took hip-hop's turntablism and applied it to techno, resulting in a unique electro-booty mash-up.
Having recently adopted a very goth-punk look, Venom continues to skirt expectations of what a rave DJ should look and sound like.

Otherwise we get two routine horror films, Venom, and Cry_Wolf (the latter of which was not screened for the press), and a routine romantic comedy, Just Like Heaven.
Two non-fiction films make their DVD debut as well, both disappointing outings from famous comedians: Sam Kinison: Outlaws of Comedy and the lightweight, likeable John Cleese:Wine for the Confused.
The central event in the film, though, is the appearance of a vision of Jesus on an old fl woman's screen door, which rapidly becomes a place of pilgrimage.

 Animation Insider - Marvel's Future Film Projects
The problem with making a Venom movie is that the character's too tied to Spider-man to work on his own without having appeared in a Spider-man movie.
The project, which is being produced by Marvel Studios' CEO Avi Arad and Angry Films' Don Murphy, is based on a script by Smallville executive producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, and David Hayter.
He also directed the 2002 hit film John Q for the studio and is currently in production on the drama Alpha Dog, which features an ensemble cast including Bruce Willis, Justin Timberlake, Sharon Stone and Emile Hirsch.

Released in late 2005, the film was written by Stephen Gaghan (Academy Award winner for Traffic), directed by Barbara Kopple (two-time Academy Award winner), and starred Anne Hathaway (The Princess Diaries-2001) and Bijou Phillips (Venom-2005).
The song can be found 28 minutes into the film (scene 6 on the film’s menu entitled "East Side House Party”), and lasts over a minute’s time.
This is great promotion for an artist, but the problem is that neither Minus P nor Outthere ever signed any papers giving the film company rights to use the song.
