Catching Up

Sorry, all. I was at ComicCon with an author friend last weekend (her books totally rock, btw, you should read them!) and I got way behind on everything. (If you are interested, my report, such as it is, is in my personal journal.)

Anyway! Back now. Tired, but back. So here’s a quick round-up of news items:

And I think… we’re pretty much caught up. I hope you are all staying cool, wherever you are!

100 Years, 100 Cheers — Gary’s Inspirational Films

The AFI show was interesting — some of it was great — Sidney Poitier, Steven Spielberg, and of course Gary! Not only talking about his own films, but classics like Lawrence of Arabia. Awesome.

Some of it, though — seriously, does anyone really have a burning desire to know why Jessica Alba finds The Sound of Music inspiring? But even with some quibbles about the broadcast and what was chosen and left out, it’s a pretty impressive list overall, and it gave me some ideas for my Netflix queue.

In case you didn’t make it through all three hours, Gary had two films on the list — Apollo 13 at no. 12 and Forrest Gump at no. 37. You can find the complete list at the AFI site.

Yes, Virginia, there is an…

…albino alligator? Well okay then! We never doubted for a moment, really.

Also, a (vaguely annoying) article about the 10th anniversary of Bubba Gump restaurants.

Upcoming Press

Gary will be doing some national press in the next few days, presumably to support CSI: New York and The Forgotten. Tonight he will be on the Late Show with David Letterman, and tomorrow on CBS’s The Early Show. Check your local listings!

Gary is also profiled this week at AskMen.com.

CSI: NY is reviewed by SignOnSanDiego.Com and Newsday. Both have nice things to say about Gary.

There are several clips from The Forgotten at this French-language site.
