the illusionist
Today,
The Uncle told me of a new film called
The Illusionist, which is
about a magician in 19th century Vienna. He goes on to tell it best:
so, all the Illusions in the film are real magic tricks, no cg bullshit.
and guess who supervised and meticulously researched all the illusions?
Your hero and Mine
Ricky Jay.
Readers of the site will remember my rant about
Ricky Jay,
and how amazing he is. Knowing nothing else about this film, I am now convinced that it must be seen.
In other news, Sam Jackson just gave an absurdly awesome interview on the Daily Show about, of course, the much anticipated
Snakes on a Plane which will be released shortly. If you
are able, catch the rerun Wednesday afternoon.
