Grimes - American Express' 'Unstaged' VIDEO
As part of American Express' 'Unstaged' music series, god-like human Steve Buscemi will direct a livestream of Vampire Weekend's concert tonight in New York at the Tribeca Film Festival. If you're already thinking this combination of elements is confusing enough (Steve Buscemi? Vampire Weekend? American Express? What even is life?) just wait until you watch this viral video.
One day in my sophomore year of college, I walked into my Contemporary American Cinema class at IFC Center and there was Steve Buscemi just chillin’ with my professor. I froze a bit—seeing him out of context was an odd thing at 9 AM on Tuesday, and is anyone ever fully prepared to just bump into the wonder that is the lovably wonky smile and buggering eyes of Steve Buscemi? He wasn’t doing anything particularly weird—just hanging out in a sweater before going off to pre-production Boardwalk Empire rehearsal. He had stopped by my class to screen and talk about his 2007 intimate drama Interview, which he wrote, directed, and starred in opposite Sienna Miller. And although nowadays he’s mainly known for his role as the anti-hero political/gangster Nucky Thompson on Boardwalk Empire—for which he has won multiple Screen Actors Guild Awards and a Golden Globe—it’s his early film roles that truly exemplify the talented but always weird Buscemi we love so much.
Boardwalk Empire Season 3 Trailer VIDEO
The new season of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire will commence on September 16, and today we are given a small glimpse of what to expect with the release of a Season 3 trailer. With a returning cast that includes Nucky Thompson, Arnold Rothstein, Al Capone and Chalky White, look for another season of Prohibition-era gangland violence and power struggles in Atlantic City. Even with the death of Jimmy Darmody in the previous installment, Boardwalk Empire Season 3 should provide ample and gritty entertainment for viewers this fall. The premiere is set for September 16 at 9:00 p.m. on HBO.
