Mogwai - Punk Rock (via applesacks)

The aforementioned interview, sampled in Mogwai’s excellent Punk Rock, synched with the interview footage. Sometimes the internet is wonderful.

MakingOf - Insiders - Darren Aronofsky - Darren Aronofsky’s Screenwriting Strategies

I love how forthcoming Aronofsky is in his interviews, here, on SlashFilm, and elsewhere. He’s like the rare athlete that doesn’t speak in cliches and actually gives you insight into their particular universe. Every interview with him that I’ve seen or listened to has been informative, personal, and seemingly heartfelt; I really get the sense that he’s interested in helping other potential filmmakers learn. Yet another reason that I’ll watch anything he does, and why I am still a bit devastated that he dropped out of The Fighter.
