There's a lot of rock 'n' roll on the soundtrack, reflecting his long-standing enthusiasm for music. (He's directed concert films for the Talking Heads and Robyn Hitchcock and music videos for Bruce Springsteen and the Feelies.) He's also packed the cast with players from his earlier films, in part because of their professionalism, in part for sentimental reasons. So Roger Corman, the renowned B-movie producer who gave him his start by hiring him to direct such B films as "Caged Heat" and "Crazy Mama," plays a Cabinet secretary. Ted Levine, the insane killer in "Silence," plays a sympathetic psychiatrist (Demme says he did this to compensate Levine for being Tony Perkins-ized -- forever associated with a psycho role). Hitchcock, whom Demme thinks might have a movie career ahead of him, plays the civilian guide. ===== "Life is just a series of dogs." -- George Carlin "I'm going to keep playing music until somebody shoots me." -- Scott McCaughey "It would not now surprise me in the least if, one night on TV, right there during The Memo, [Bill] O'Reilly declared himself to be the Grand Duchess Anastasia." -- Charles Pierce on MSNBC.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Perfect background music for bicycling around China farmlands. :) Eb ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Jul 2004 13:30:34 +1200 From: James Dignan Subject: new email address Hi all - just a quick APB to let you know that my email address has changed from to .
