DIRECT FROM SXSW - IFC Entertainment I was sad to miss SXSW this past weekend but thanks to IFC it looks like I’ll be able to watch some of the buzzworthy films including the new Shane Meadows mockdoc Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee. Whew…

I was planning on attending this panel at SXSW and was very disappointed when my plans changed but it looks like the playlist did a good job of reporting what I suspected. Of course the Little Rock born director has a ton of projects waiting in the wings but it looks like he will do the most financially lucrative film of the bunch The Sitter starring Jonah Hill next. He hasn’t ruled out the Suspiria remake but it could be a while before he gets around to it.

Rock Candy: Q&A: Nick Prueher of Found Footage Festival -
I talked to Nick a couple of weeks ago and he was a cool dude. Can’t wait to meet him tonight. Lindsey gives a bomb-diggety Q and A.
Rock Candy: Thursday To-Do: Bad Mojo Showdown -
I’ve been sitting on this project for a while because like Lindsey, I really didn’t know what to say. It’s exciting and fun but in the same way it freaks me out. Maybe that’s a good thing. Anyway. Read Rock Candy’s blog and I might do some more coverage on Voodoo Cowboys if the spirits let me.

Now he’s truly a Lost Boy or man. It’s Corey Haim not Haims like I’m seeing printed here. Reportedly Haim “passed away” as we politely say due to a drug overdose. Speculative maybe, but it makes sense. Spotty career, drug abuse, depression, whatever. He would have been a prime candidate for Celebrity Rehab aka Non-Celebrity Rehab. Has there been one celebrity on that show? Mad love to Dr. Drew though (silver fox).
Call me callous but I’m just sick of this weird infatuation we have with Celeb overdoses. Don’t “regular” people die from drugs all the time. Why does the media have to take a time out and act like this is some isolated problem in the “celeb” world? We did the same shit with Heath Ledger then Brittany Murphy and way back with Anna Nicole Smith. For months we’ll have specials on Oprah and ET about wild and crazy celebs and the dangerous underbelly of Hollywood. I’m so tired of it. Can’t Tiger Woods just sleep with a Chili’s hostess again, please?
