I just came across this picture of me with Ray Winstone and Tim Roth at Sundance with The War Zone in January 1999. If only I'd been wearing black, we could have really worked our Reservoir Dogs look! If you're interested in the Kindle 20th Anniversary Edition of The War Zone , it is currently available AT A SPECIAL HOLIDAY PRICE OF $3.99 FROM AMAZON. The print edition is its usual outrageous $15.99 - it's hard for me to get that price down, but I'm going to make sure that the next edition is better priced!

Wes Anderson's magical, totally original Moonrise Kingdom. My film of the year, I think: Moonrise Kingdom . It made me happy, what more can you ask? We have a huge poster for The Life Aquatic in our house, which Hudson and Paradise have grown up with. I hope their lives unfold like a magical Wes Anderson tale. If Wes Anderson controlled the cosmos, it would be a far, far kinder place:)

I wanted to post this photo of our dog at our friends' ranch near Groveland (which is near the north-west entrance of Yosemite National Park), simply because I love the picture and I love the fact that she had such a great time at Thanksgiving running free there with a "pack" of our friends' four dogs. She was so happy that I wondered if friendship can be measured by how well your dogs get along.
