Eli posted a new blog. There wasn't anything earthshakingly important in it, but there were a couple of things that may interest you guys.
"Happy New Year! This is fucking awesome. Two researchers at U.C. Berkely and U.C. San Diego have done a study showing that violent movies reduce crime by 1.2-1.3% when watched between 6 PM and midnight, and even higher numbers AFTER viewers have seen the film, during Midnight and 6 AM. The study estimates that on weekends 1,000 violent crimes are prevented when people watch violent movies. So that means that between my three films I've prevented probably 10,000 violent crimes, so if someone in could print out the report (it's included in the link above) and kindly shove it up the New Zealand censor's ass I would greatly appreciate it."
"We had lunch with the mayor of Reyjkavik. The Icelandic director Baltasar Kormakur joined us, and was talking to the mayor about building a movie studio in Reyjkavik. Quentin and I loved the idea, and I told them I'd be happy to help in any way I could. The mayor was very excited about the idea, and soon it was all over the news."
Other than that, he goes on about going on a ladybug killing rampage and setting things on fire. This can be read here.
