...matter how successful a black person is, he is still liable to fall into this conception of blackness. This is true even for successful actors like Danny Glover, who once complained publicly about being ignored by cabs in New York because of his race. He was probably not passed up by cabs because they thought that he was undeserving of a cab ride or that he was incapable of the cab ride because of his black skin. Rather, they likely ignored him because they assumed that he would probably be poor, and were wary of all the negative attributes that...
...folks say the decision had nothing to do with Blood Diamond. "The movie had no impact on the deliberations and outcome of the recent Kimberley Process Plenary," says W.D.C. spokesman Carson Glover. "The diamond industry began confronting the problem of conflict diamonds long before Hollywood was aware of it and will be focused on it long after Hollywood loses interest." Activists, though, say the W.D.C. was much more proactive at this Kimberley Process meeting than in the past. "I think that the upcoming film must have had an impact on their moves to support calls to strengthen the Kimberley Process...
...accomplished all this on an 18-day shoot, six of which were devoted to the bathroom scenes, shot in chronological order.

Whannel recalls that "James would ask for a third take, and the A.D. [assistant director] would be like, 'What do you think you are - Kubrick?'" Somehow, though, these two kids from an Australian film school, working on their first feature, got it done, and matched the ingenuity of the plot with...
...character's jaw is split open by a reverse bear trap. On the strength of that short, Los Angeles--based Evolution Entertainment ponied up $1.2 million to make a feature. The sets were grungy--most of the film takes place in a dirty bathroom--and the actors, Danny Glover and Carey Elwes, weren't too expensive. Wan got to direct, and Whannell starred as another of Jigsaw's victims...
CHAVEZ: I like Danny Glover movies better. But I don't believe there is anyone who can play the interlocutor with a leader who considers himself master of the world, as Bush does. Before the 2002 coup attempt against me--which Bush backed--various Presidents around the world tried to be interlocutors between Bush and Chávez. I said sure, please give him my regards. But they found it a waste of time with this U.S. President. I could talk to Clinton, but not Bush...
