FILM 1304: FAR OUT ISN'T FAR
ENOUGH: THE TOMI UNGERER STORY
Far Out Isn't Far Enough: The Tomi
Ungerer Story depicts one man's wild, lifelong adventure of testing societal
boundaries through his use of subversive art. This 98-minute film combines
traditional documentary storytelling with original animation from over 70 years
worth of art from the renegade children's book author and illustrator. Using a
historical palette of 20th century events to paint an artist's epic yet
controversial life story, this HD documentary film offers a feature-length
retrospective of Ungerer's life and art, pondering the complexities and
contradictions of a man who, armed with an acerbic wit, an accusing finger and
a razor sharp pencil, gave visual representation to the revolutionary voices
during one of the most tantalizing and dramatic periods in American history.
Far Out Isn't Far Enough explores the circumstances of his meteoric rise and
fall on American soil, but also delves into Ungerer's formative years leading
up to, and prolific years since, his time in America.

FILM 1267: TUSK
TRIVIA: Quentin Tarantino was
offered the role of Guy Lapointe, but turned it down saying he dug the script
and "couldn't wait to watch Michael Parks
let loose his internal Kraken," but he had no interest in acting at the moment.
The first film in Kevin Smith's
Canada-based trilogy. The second film will be Yoga Hosers (2015), based
on Smodcast episode #288. The final installment will be Moose Jaws (2016).
The idea for the movie came during
the recording of "SModcast 259: The Walrus and The Carpenter." Smith
with his longtime friend and producer Scott Mosier discussed an article
featuring a Gumtree ad where a homeowner was offering free room and board if
the lodger agreed to dress as a walrus. The hosts spent almost an hour of the
episode reconstructing and telling a hypothetical story based on the ad. Smith
then told his Twitter followers to tweet "#WalrusYes" if they wanted
to see their hypothetical turned into a film, or "#WalrusNo" if they
didn't. The vast majority of Smith's followers agreed that the film should be
made. The post turned out to be a prank by Brighton poet and prankster Chris
Parkinson, a fan of Smith who hoped to get in touch with him. Kevin Smith
eventually hired Parkinson as a producer.
Kevin Smith and Johnny Depp's
daughters play clerks. Clerks.
(1994) launched Kevin Smith's career as a movie director and script writer.
Wallace's ringtone is from the Kevin
Smith and Ralph Garman podcast "Hollywood Babble-On." The song is
actually a fan-made song created using Garman's impression of Al Pacino.
In Teddy and Ally's room, where
they miss phone calls from Wallace, a framed picture of Kevin Smith's Dog,
Shecky, is on the wall.
Ponder rock, where Howard Howe gets
stranded, is a reference to the podcast "Smodcast #224: Ponder Rockin'
with Emo-Kev", posted September 16, 2012. Kevin and Scott talked about a
cassette tape Kevin found in which he dictated his banal thoughts when he was
19 years old.

FILM 1136: SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED
TRIVIA: The original classified ad
upon which the film is based first appeared in Backwoods Home Magazine in 1997.
It was written as last-minute filler by John Silveira, an employee
of the magazine, who is credited in the film as "Time Travel
Consultant" and also has a cameo. The ad was later featured on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
(1992) in the "Headlines" segment, and eventually turned into an
Internet meme before being developed into a screenplay.
The part of Darius was written for Aubrey Plaza, because
writer Derek Connolly wanted to
work with her. Jake Johnson
was likewise director Colin
Trevorrow's first choice for the part of Jeff.

FILM 1115: KISSING JESSICA STEIN
TRIVIA: Some background shots were
removed from the film prior to its release because they showed the World Trade
Center.
The cab scene where Helen and
Jessica talk about blending lipstick was filmed after the filmmakers hailed a
cab, paid the driver $20, the director drove, the director of photography was
in the front seat and the sound woman climbed in the back trunk.
