Dumb And Stupid Stuff By Rick Murphy
We all remember the classic lines . . . ”I coulda been a contender” . . . “leave the gun, take the cannoli” . . . “she’s my sister and my daughter” . . . “I put gorgonzola between my toes”. . . There are plenty more, from some great films, though perhaps not quite as profound. Here’s a sampling: “Pullover ... Pullover” “No, it’s a cardigan, but thanks for noticing.” -- Dumb and Dumber
“If she were a president she would be Baberaham Lincoln.” -- Wayne’s World “You shut your mouth when you’re talking to me!” -- Wedding Crashers “I am serious . . . and don’t call me Shirley” -- Airplane! “I don’t have the face for tentacles.” -- Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
“Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.” -- Monty Python and the Holy Grail
“Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.” -- Airplane!
“Nobody’s looking for a puppeteer in today’s wintry economic climate.” -- Being John Malkovich
“Will you still love me when I’m in my hanging-out-with-Ravi-Shankar phase?” -- Wayne’s World
“Is your number still 911?” -- Ace Ventura “I am Princess Vespa, daughter of Roland, King of the Druids.” “Oh great. That’s all we needed. A Druish princess.” -- Spaceballs “Uhm, Wayne? What do you do if every time you see this one incredible woman, you think you’re gonna hurl?” -- Wayne’s World “What’s the soup du jour?” “It’s the soup of the day.” “Mmm ... that does sound good.” -- Dumb and Dumber “I’m so rich, I wish I had a dime for every dime I have.” -- Austin Powers Man of Mystery “Drive carefully. And don’t forget to fasten your condoms! Seatbelts, I mean seatbelts.” -- Father of the Bride
“No, do you wanna S’more?” “I haven’t had anything yet, so how can I have some more of nothing?” -- Sandlot “Brent, where did you get the hand grenade?” “I don’t know.” -- Anchorman “Doc, you’d go crazy too if you saw that 17-year-old beaver right there in your face” -- One Flew Over The Cukoo’s Nest “How would you like it if I made your life a living hell?” “Well, Lois, I’m not quite ready for a relationship right now, but maybe I’ll give you a call sometime.” -- Ace Ventura “Before you die there is something you should know about us, Lone Star.” “What?” “I am your father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate.” -- Spaceballs

FILM GUIDE Opening Night Film
JEFF, WHO LIVES AT HOME
Directors: Jay Duplass, Mark Duplass Cast: Jason Segel, Ed Helms, Susan Sarandon, Judy Greer, Rae Dawn Chong
Directors Mark and Jay Duplass take on brotherly dynamics as well as fate and love in this delightfully authentic and moving comic gem. Thirty-four-year-old Jeff (Jason Segel) spends his days steadily unlocking the profound mysteries of the universe … from the comfort of his mother’s basement. A call from his exasperated mom (Susan Sarandon) begging him to complete a simple errand shakes a begrudging Jeff off the couch. Suddenly, the universe begins to deliver important signs that could unlock his destiny. Jeff crosses paths with his disgruntled older brother (Ed Helms), who is embroiled in a crisis of his own. A hysterical, madcap journey ensues, forcing the two very different brothers to face earth-shattering challenges side by side.
Southampton Opening Night Film BUTTER
Director: Jim Field Smith Cast: Jennifer Garner, Olivia Wilde, Ty Burrell, Yara Shahidi, Hugh Jackman, Alicia Silverstone
Art, politics, and food collide in this star-studded dark comedy. Bob Pickler (Ty Burrell) is the undisputed king of butter carving throughout the Midwest. His artful carvings of Newt Gingrich and scenes from SCHINDLER’S LIST have earned him the title, “The Elvis of Butter.” Now that he’s decided to withdraw from the world of competitive butter carving, the championship title is up for grabs. His wife, Laura (Jennifer Garner), will stop at nothing to keep the title in the family, but first she’ll have to beat working girl Brooke (Olivia Wilde) and the young orphan Destiny (Yara Shahidi). When Laura teams up with her former flame, sleazy car salesman Boyd Bolton (Hugh Jackman), all bets are off in this uproarious and outrageous comedy.

East Hampton Closing Night Film THE ARTIST
Director: Michel Hazanavicius Cast: Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo, John Goodman, James Cromwell, Penelope Ann Miller, Missi Pyle
Travel back to a golden age of cinema in this enchanting, comedic tribute to silent films. It’s 1927, and handsome, witty, and beguiling George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) is Hollywood’s biggest movie star. Unhappily married, Valentin has unwittingly stolen the heart of a nobodyturned-extra named Peppy Miller (Bérénice Bejo), who dreams of becoming a great actress in her own right. When the studio converts to the “talkies,” Valentin balks at the prospect: who would want to hear actors speaking? Valentin takes it upon himself to keep the silent era alive, risking his career and his fortune, and stiff competition from his former allies.
SPOTLIGHT FILMS ANOTHER HAPPY DAY
It is rare for sweet, implacable first love portrayed on screen to connect wholly with the heart. LIKE CRAZY is a dazzling exception, featuring two brilliant young actors, Anton Yelchin and Felicity Jones, with remarkable screen chemistry. A modern twist on star-crossed lovers, Jones plays Anna, an undergraduate from the UK studying abroad in Los Angeles. A crush on classmate Jacob (Yelchin, HIFF Breakthrough Performer) turns into an exceptional love affair. Rash, youthful decisions and a visa debacle threaten to separate the two indefinitely, and they are thrust wide-eyed into a world of confounding adult decisions. A smartly wound love story with a soul, LIKE CRAZY is magical, as well as sincere, in its approach to newfound love.
Director: Sam Levinson Cast: Ellen Barkin, Ezra Miller, Kate Bosworth, Demi Moore, Thomas Haden Church, George Kennedy, Ellen Burstyn, Michael Nardelli.

are no shortages of demons the closets of Lynn’s immediate family, and her toxic relationships with some of them threaten to derail the wedding.
COLLABORATOR
Director: Martin Donovan Cast: Martin Donovan, David Morse, Olivia Williams, Melissa Auf der Maur
Director and star Martin Donovan (INSOMNIA, THE SENTINEL) takes on class, celebrity, and writer’s block in this tightly wound psychological drama. Donovan plays Robert Longfellow, a New York-based playwright whose latest failures seem to signal the end of an otherwise successful career. After a string of soulcrushing meetings during a brief visit to his native Los Angeles, he has two strange encounters: the first with a celebrity actress and former flame; the second, his ex-con former neighbor. When an unthinkable scenario endangers his return trip to his wife and children, the tools of Longfellow’s craft may surface as his rescue device.
CORIOLANUS
Director: Ralph Fiennes Cast: Ralph Fiennes, Gerard Butler, Brian Cox, Vanessa Redgrave, James Nesbitt
Ralph Fiennes’s directorial debut CORIOLANUS transforms one of Shakespeare’s bloodiest, most imposing tragedies into an intensely modern cinematic experience. A skilled and brutal war hero of the Roman army, Coriolanus (Fiennes), is persuaded to take political office by his mother (Vanessa Redgrave) and other bureaucrats after a successful campaign against Tullus Aufidius (Gerard Butler) and the Volscian army. Soon though, political machinations and Coriolanus’ own pride enrage the public. Forced into exile, Coriolanus exacts his revenge alongside the unlikeliest of allies. Anchored by searing performances, CORNIOLANUS will leave you on the edge of your seat.

enthralling mix of psychological thriller and intense character study with a riveting (and against-type) Orlando Bloom performance at its center. Bloom stars as Dr. Martin Blake, an initially unassuming first-year medical resident. Failing to achieve approval and confidence from both his superiors and the hospital staff, Blake soon becomes close with an alluring Diane (Riley Keough) whom he has recently cured. This intimacy transforms into something more disturbing as Blake grows more and more infatuated with his former patient. Taraji P. Henson, Rob Morrow and Michael Peña add to the impressive cast.
MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE
Director: Sean Durkin Cast: Elizabeth Olsen, Brady Corbet, Hugh Dancy, John Hawkes, Sarah Paulson
Good luck finding another featurelength debut this year as startlingly assured as Sean Durkin’s MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE. This masterfully wrought psychological drama concerns a troubled young woman who flees an upstate New York cult and seeks refuge in the quiet home of her sister and sister’s husband. Durkin boldly floats between past and present, lodging viewers firmly inside Martha’s troubled mind. Featuring a magnetic performance by newcomer Elizabeth Olsen, as well as standout supporting turns from Sarah Paulson and John Hawkes, Durkin’s haunting thriller is one of the finest American films of 2011.
stories form a powerful, personal saga about pain, sabotage, and survival, one that will certainly be talked about for years to come. Kirsten Dunst’s arresting lead performance garnered her the Best Actress award at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN
Director: Lynne Ramsay Cast: Tilda Swinton, John C. Reilly, Ezra Miller, Siobhan Fallon
ORANGES AND SUNSHINE
Director: Jim Loach Cast: Emily Watson, Hugo Weaving, David Wenham, Richard Dillane, Tara Morice, Tammy Wakefield
In this stirring drama based on a true story, Margaret Humphreys (Emily Watson) is a British social worker who stumbles upon one of the largest scandals in the United Kingdom in recent memory. Humphreys uncovers the heartbreaking “home children” program, which deported 130,000 youths from the country without the knowledge or consent of their families. In the face of bureaucratic opposition, Humphreys embarks on a journey to unite these lost sons and daughters with their loved ones, often risking her own safety. ORANGES AND SUNSHINE is the story of a seemingly ordinary but truly courageous woman.
PINA in 3D
Director: Wim Wenders Featuring: Pina Bausch, Ensemble of the Tanztheater Wuppertal
Thirteen years after FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS, Johnny Depp once again channels the gonzo exploits of Hunter S. Thompson in THE RUM DIARY, the long-awaited fourth feature from filmmaker and novelist Bruce Robinson, best known for the cult classic WITHNAIL AND I. Depp (a real life friend of Thompson) stars as Paul Kemp, a freelance journalist in the ‘50s who travels to Puerto Rico for a story. Soon, he finds himself enmeshed in a love triangle with an American woman whose fiancé who is deeply involved with illegal business practices. Fueled by lust, corruption, and rum, and set amidst stunning Caribbean landscapes, THE RUM DIARY is a wild ride that could only come from the inimitable imagination of Hunter S. Thompson.
Eva (Tilda Swinton) must cope with her confusion, anger, and guilt in the wake of a horrific school massacre perpetrated by her son Kevin (Ezra Miller). Acclaimed director Lynne Ramsay (RATCATCHER) sifts through Eva’s tangled feelings about her deeply troubled son and her now estranged husband (John C. Reilly) through a chilling reverie of scenes from Eva’s life. From Kevin’s birth through the long-term aftermath of the tragedy, Swinton’s tremendous performance evokes Eva’s conflicted state of mind with gut-wrenching precision. Powerful, gorgeous, and haunting, KEVIN addresses the uncomfortable subject of parental indifference, challenging audiences and their notions of parenthood.
THE WOMAN IN THE FIFTH
Director: Pawel Pawlikowski Cast: Ethan Hawke, Kristin Scott Thomas, Joanna Kulig, Samir Guesmi
THINK OF ME
Director: Bryan Wizemann Cast: Lauren Ambrose, Audrey Scott, Dylan Baker, Penelope Ann Miller, Adina Porter, David Conrad
MELANCHOLIA
Director: Lars von Trier Cast: Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlotte Rampling, John Hurt, Alexander Skarsgård, Stellan Skarsgård When does the end of the world become a welcome eve n t ? L a r s vo n Trier’s magnificent apocalyptic epic explores the darkest corners of selfdestruction in the face of terrifying planetary events. MELANCHOLIA is a twisted fairytale in two parts: the first, the story of a wedding that begins to go mysteriously awry; the second, a family struggles with the realization that life as they know it will soon come to an end. Together, these
In this mesmerizing 3D experience, world renowned director Wim Wenders (WINGS OF DESIRE) and the late iconoclastic choreographer Pina Bausch team up to bring you one of the most extraordinary cinematic events of the year. Starring Bausch’s own Tanztheater Wuppertal ensemble, this performancedriven documentary film features many of Bausch’s most acclaimed pieces of modern dance performed in school gyms, industrial parks, and, in one riveting sequence, a water-logged stage. The strange-yetpowerful art of Bausch stunned audiences for over 35 years and has now found its perfect compliment in Wenders’ sumptuous, lively fusion of film, movement, music, and spectacle.
Beyond the money, glamour and lights of Las Vegas, the city’s invisible families teeter on the edge of abject poverty and its underlying dangers. THINK OF ME plunges us into this world. Lauren Ambrose (best known for her award-winning work on HBO’s SIX FEET UNDER) shines as Angela, a struggling single mother failing to make ends meet for her little daughter. Regular drug and alcohol use clouds her
Ethan Hawke delivers a career-topping performance in Pawel Pawlikowski’s eerily captivating new film. An American writer, Tom Ricks (Hawke, in a French- and English-speaking role), moves to Paris to be closer to his young daughter, though Ricks’ ex-wife forbids him to visit. Wandering about the city, he’s eventually robbed and left penniless. He stumbles upon a rundown inn where the proprietor offers him a room and a shady job in an underground bunker. With its evocative lensing and elliptical rhythms, THE WOMAN IN THE FIFTH casts an unsettling spell on the viewer, suggesting a mysterious undercurrent to the film’s events and foreshadowing a shocking climax.

THE CONTENDERS
By Miles X. Logan
Like last year HIFF has settled for films that premiered elsewhere, many big studio releases that should perform well at the box office. There was a time when that would be considered selling out, but oh well. If truth be told most of these have been making the rounds all summer trying to get pre-Oscar buzz. Nevertheless, festival patrons get a chance to see the crème-de-la-crème – last year most of the major Best Movie contenders were screened here (and everywhere else). Indy’s film critic reviews the major releases with a specially themed crustacean rating system. Jeff Who Lives At Home This film has a similar storyline to My Idiot Brother. The major difference, though, is My Idiot Brother was much funnier. Jason Segel and Ed Helms pair nicely as two mismatched brothers. TWO SAUTEED DIVER SCALLOPS Butter Jennifer Garner stars as a jilted wife who goes for the gold – carving butter sculptures. Really. Hugh Jackman, Oliva Wilde, Rob Corddry and Alicia Silverstone join in. TWO BAKED CLAMS
Like Crazy A gushy love affair where-in two students fall in love and are separated by visa problems, and we don’t mean the credit card. A BOWL OF STEAMERS The Artist Michel Hazanavicius has crafted an ode to silent films sure to captivate real movie fans. Women will weep, men will head for the popcorn and seek solace elsewhere in the multiplex. HALF DOZEN CHERRYSTONES Collaborator Martin Donovan (Insomnia) directs and stars in this muddled dramedy that premiered at the Karlovy Vary festival. He plays a playwright inspired by a series of troubling events in his personal life culminating with a – ta da – hostage crisis. TWO COCKTAIL SHRIMP Coriolanus Ralph Fiennes tackles Shakespeare in his directorial debut and he pulls it off nicely. Vanessa Redgrave turns in a nice performance as the mother of a conguering hero who seeks political office, only to be run out of the city. THREE SAUTEED SOFTSHELL CRABS
Award-winning Ales & Lagers Since 1996
Like Crazy The Good Doctor A helpless patient squirms as a sicko-doctor performs experiments on her. We liked. Orlando Bloom is brilliant playing against type, though we liked him better with blonde hair. FIVE JUMBO SHRIMP SCAMPI Martha Marcy May Marlene Elizabeth Durkin gets a star-making vehicle and she takes off in it. Sean Durkin’s psychological thriller has some loose ends but it’s absorbing filmmaking bolstered by an excellent cast. THREE PERRYWINKLES Melanchola Kristen Dunst turns in a riveting Oscar-nomination worthy performance in this fantastical apocalyptical tale. This may well be the best film in this year’s festival and will vie for the audience’s top choice. A THRRE POUND BROILED LOBSTER WITH DRAWN BUTTER
Where people enjoy the finest craft beers brewed anywhere at Long Island’s oldest & most awarded Brewery! 40 Bowden Square, Southampton (631) 283-2800 www.publick.com
Oranges And Sunshine Emily Watson takes it to another level as a British Social Worker (Margaret Humphreys) who uncovers a huge scandal involving the deportation of children. Director Jim Loach lets the true story unfold at its own pace and the grit and determination of Humphreys gradually astounds viewers. A DOZEN GARDINER’S BAY OYSTERS ON THE HALF SHELL
Pina Oh God, another 3-D flick, this time a bunch of dancers. Starring the almost-famous Tanzheater Wuppertal Ensemble (we kid you not). THREE BLUE CLAW CRABS The Rum Diary Johnny Depp plays Hunter Thompson again. The problem is he’s too good – Thompson was a loathsome, obnoxious alcoholic. What’s not to like? BUCKET OF PISS CLAMS We Need To Talk About Kevin Oscar favs Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly move front and center in Lynne Ramsey’s emotionally draining family drama. Viewers at the HIFF will get weepy, and they’ll clap wildly at the end and then talk gravely about it for days. A contender. LOBSTER STUFFED WITH CRABMEAT The Woman In The Fifth A down on his luck American meets a mysterious woman in Paris. Then his life really unravels. Ethan Hawke and Kristen Scott Thomas are Oscar shopping in this one. BUCKET OF MUSSELS STEAMED IN WHITE WINE

LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!
Providing portable restroom facilities for production companies working on location is as demanding a task as any we’ve been called upon to handle. Early start times, last minute changes or additions, and special requests are just business as usual in the film industry, and it takes a special committment to get the job done. At Emil Norsic & Son, we make that committment on each and every job we work. That’s why production companies like HBO Films rely on us to provide field sanitation for their shoots on Long Island and throughout the metropolitan area. But whether it’s a major motion picture, a wedding, or a sweet sixteen party on the beach, that kind of committment to the job has always been “business as usual” for Norsic. Once we’ve been retained to provide equipment and services, we have your back, and you have our attention...100%. Call our Special Events Division at (631) 283-0604 , Ext. 113 and ask about some of the projects we’ve worked on. Find out how we can make your celebration - or your location shoot - that much easier.
