Trailer for Errol Morris’s Tabloid.
Geez Louise. I don’t know how this one has flown under my radar for so long, but it’s going on the must-see list immediately.
(I swear I’m not just posting this so I can use a “manacled Mormons” tag. But what a bonus, eh?)

Toronto Film Festival: Springsteen talks Dylan, darkness and the “survivor guilt” of fame →
“A few minutes before Bruce Springsteen stepped onstage in the 550-seat flagship cinema of the new TIFF Bell Lightbox, a stage hand removed the guitar stand. Which seemed to comfirm wasn’t going to be that kind of show. It was, however, the hottest ticket at the festival: a chance to spend an hour or so in a relatively intimate theatre listening to actor Edward Norton interview the Boss about music, cinema, celebrity and politics. And it seemed as strange for them as it was for us. Springsteen is perfectly at home singing for 20,000 people, and Norton (Primal Fear) can comfortably shape-shift into a psychopath in front of a movie camera. But they were both novices at performing in an onstage interview, which had a certain homespun charm.”

An excerpt from The Promise: The Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town.

The Promise, a documentary on the making of Bruce Springsteen’s The Darkness on the Edge of Town (otherwise known as the best Springsteen album ever, excepting Nebraska because it exists in its own special category), premieres at the Toronto Film Festival next month.
The song the film is named after didn’t make the final Darkness album cut, but showed up years later on 18 Tracks in 1999. It’s one of the most haunting and profound stories about the American dream ever told.

Trailer for Kirby Dick’s documentary on closeted gay politicians, Outrage.
I just watched this last night. I fully anticipated it, but it absolutely infuriated me. Kirby Dick is on a roll making films about topics I’m already so passionate about that by the time I’m done watching them, I’m pretty much ready to lead a march.

The future is unwritten.
