Stars in Rewind: Sam Rockwell in High School
Filed under: Trailers and Clips », Stars in Rewind »
Twenty-two years ago, Sam Rockwell was a junior in high school. I wonder if his young teenage mind ever imagined that two decades later he'd be starring in a feature film as a choking con man/sex addict. Since the adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's Choke is hitting theaters today, I thought we'd head back to Rockwell's real childhood.
There was no crazy mother kidnapping him and taking him on wild bus rides and dangerous adventures at the zoo. Instead, he was a student at San Francisco School of the Arts, busying himself with the school's improv group. About a minute in on the above video, you can see him sitting on a stage with one Ms. Margaret Cho. They do a little saucy improv before briefly talking about themselves. First there's Cho, hitting on areas she'd become famous for discussing, and then there's Rockwell. That guy oozed cool even back then.
From galaxy-wide adventures to the Old West, methinks Rockwell sought the adventure he said he was looking for.

Margaret Cho's latest gets simultaneous release
Filed under: Comedy », Gay & Lesbian », Independent », Distribution », Home Entertainment », Cinematical Indie »
Margaret Cho's latest concert film, Assassin, has been picked up here! Networks, who plan to debut the film on 8 screens concurrent with its cable TV premiere. I think this might be a pretty great example of the rare kind of film that makes simultaneous release seem like not such a bad idea. A Margaret Cho film is the kind of semi-cult phenomena that is, for some people, event viewing; for others, it's a serendipitous thing to find whilst half-awake channel surfing late at night. There's not really an in between. This seems like the best way to give the people what they want. Also noteworthy: all proceeds from the theatrical run will go to gay and lesbian charities.
