Speaking to everyone from starring actors Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek down to photographers and assistant camera men, no stone is left unturned. The set conflicts, the legacy the movie left behind. And let’s not forget Terrence Malick’s notorious reclusion, which the first hundred words of the piece is dedicated to. These eight pages make for not just an intriguing read, but a necessary one if you’re a fan of the film. </p> </blockquote>http://martinetespecial.tumblr.com/post/6149094063http://martinetespecial.tumblr.com/post/6149094063Fri, 03 Jun 2011 14:15:00 -0500Terrence MalickBadlandsMartin SheenSissy Spacek<a href="http://www.comicsalliance.com/2011/06/01/funkywatch-mays-11-most-depressing-funky-winkerbean-strips/">May's 11 Most Depressing 'Funky Winkerbean' Strips</a>: <p>Check out this link from <em>Comics Alliance</em> </p>http://martinetespecial.tumblr.com/post/6113423839http://martinetespecial.tumblr.com/post/6113423839Thu, 02 Jun 2011 13:40:00 -0500Funky WinkerbeanTom BatiukComics
