Episode 234 – Oh, I Know What Furries Are

Posted on

This Week: Kevin celebrates the mid-month of Halloween by inviting newly-appointed FSR Editor-at-Large and resident horror movie fan Robert Fure into the Magical Studio in the Sky. There, they kick off their Sunday shoes and cut Footloose before making non-educated guesses about The Big Year. Then, Fure gives us the low-down on the new horror flick The Thing, after which Kevin takes a look at Lucky McKee’s The Woman and the new gross-out flick Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence). During the relatively clean middle segment, we get a Fat Guy Five about snowy films before rattling off some DVD recommendations. But Fure doesn’t disappoint his raunchy fan base because he looks up some great names for potential web sites.

Craig Brewer Interview

craigbrewerAn Interview with Craig Brewer, director of “Black Snake Moan”

BY KEVIN CARR

Craig Brewer is the director of the Oscar-nominated “Hustle & Flow” and the new drama “Black Snake Moan.” Brewer talks about his inspiration for the characters in the film, their connection to southern culture and why he sees himself as the frightened girl on the end of the chain.

Excepts from the interview follow. Hear the entire interview here…

7M: WAS THE CHARACTER OF RAE BASED ON A REAL PERSON, AND CAN I HAVE HER PHONE NUMBER?
Unfortunately, she is based on a real person, and you’re talking to him. To be honest with you, I’m putting southern archetypes and cliches into movies. I’m putting all of my southern obsessions into one stew and mixing it all up. Even though it’s got this girl that’s out of control sexually, it’s really about anxiety. It’s really about fear.

When I had just written “Hustle and Flow,” and I was trying to get it made, my friends were like, hey you’re big time, and I couldn’t pay my rent. And I was on a plane, and I had this crippling anxiety attack, and I’d never had one before. You think you’re having a heart attack.

Don’t think I’m Sam Jackson in the movie. I’m that sexy girl on the end of that chain going crazy. I just don’t look as good as her.
