From Rolling Stone Raves: What Your Rock N Roll Favorites Favor by Anthony Bozza, Shawn Dahl, and Matt Pinfield

EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY

"'Austin Powers' - I've been watching it way too much. I got an advance video copy and I watched it literally 30 times. Every time I go in the studio, I put it on. That movie for some reason speaks to me-how ridiculous it is. I'm happy to have one of those classic comedies come back where you can actually watch it again and again and get something new out of it. Mike Myers is a comic genius. I watch the movie now just to see what Dr. Evil is doing in the background and see his expression. The Coen Brother's make exceptional movies. 'So I take it that's your friend in the wood chipper?' was classic in 'Fargo'. I watched 'The Hudsucker Proxy' again; I can't believe it got bad reviews. I don't know what people expected, but that movie was so well put together. Jennifer Jason Leigh and Tim Robbins were so great. The whole theme was so great. It's totally underrated and totally gorgeous. Paul Newman is hilarious. Someone recently told me there's no music in Martin Scorsese's 'After Hours'. I've seen it 3 or 4 times and never really noticed. But if that's true, that's the reason it just has soo much tension in it - there's no sound going on. Maybe it's like minimal music or something like that. That movie so sums up a night where you just want to get home from a bad club or something - taken to extreme."
