Bardem, Durling at the Arlington
The best interview of the ’08 Santa Barbara Film Festival — easily the warmest and most charming — happened last night between No Country for Old Men star Javier Bardem (wearing an exquisite dark-blue suit) and SBFF director Roger Durling. Half confessional and half goof-off session, it was marked by laughter, honesty, astute insights and openly longed-for bathroom breaks.

Perhaps relaxed by their Latin connection, Durling’s questions were simple but down to it, allowing Bardem to roll every which way and be his uncannily articulate self (especially for someone whose English skills were marginal four years ago). Calling it “a total loosey-goosey pleasure” sounds like a suck-up sentiment, but that’s what it was.
For those who’ve never visited Santa Barbara’s Arlington Theatre, it may be hard to comprehend that this is a photo of the actual interior and not some outdoor town square in Barcelona or Vera Cruz, Mexico
I’m normally willing to live and let live, but that hair on a grown-ass man is just unacceptable. I’ve met Durling several times and the hair does indeed fit his personality, but seriously what the hell? At least it’s not blue this year.
Caught Bardem last night on cable in Almodovar’s “Live Flesh”. Wasn’t crazy about it (not fond of Pedro when he’s in telenovela mode) but Javier was great.
I love Javier.
I love the Arlington theater. Very cool venue. Wish I could’ve been there last night.
“Loosey-Goosey Good Time” just sounds like you’re gay, Wells, that’s all.
But look, that will probably help your image a little: I mean all the still-frames of topless actresses around your appartment are simply “art,” you know?
Yeah, Rog is in need of a makeover.

Monument, yesterday we couldn’t agree on a damn thing and today it’s like you’re narrating my thoughts.
This is neither here nor there but does anybody know why the new ads for “No Country” now include little dollar bills scattered in Moss’ wake as he runs with the money? It’s not important, it just caught my attention and it won’t go away.
Mick, I noticed that yesterday.
Allow me to think like marketing:
A tiny silhouette of a guy holding a gun with money fluttering about is more…action packed. Crime drama. Thriller. Suspense. Chases. ACTION.

Gay? He had me at “exquisite dark-blue suit”.
Your work is very good and I appreciate you and hopping for some more informative posts.
