Some good questions from the lady who runs the Barbara Stanwyck site, after they get past the well-worn preliminaries. (The Stanwyck site seems to have been mostly dormant for the past eighteen months, so this is something of a coup for the lady named "Jean Harrington"--get it?--who runs the site. A clue: one of Jean's most memorable quotes is "I need that guy like the ax needs the turkey.")
A few spoilers...
You'll see Eddie's top ten picks for the SIGHT & SOUND poll that anointed Chantal Akerman as the maker of the "greatest film of all time." Semi-spoiler: Eddie did not include any of her films, but he did include a Robert Bresson film (guess which one).
Eddie has written a "kid noir" book that will come out in the fall.
He has some strong things to say about the in-fighting amongst present-day studio entities that are chipping away at TCM's status as "the gatekeeper of American cinema."
