“I am very careful to make it quite
clear that ‘What Is It?’ is not a film
about Down’s Syndrome, but my
psychological reaction to the corpo-
rate restraints that have happened in
the last twenty to thirty years in film
making.”
Crispin Glover is coming! Get to know
him!

“I guess you could call them ‘legend-
ary.’ In any case, they’re more ‘leg-
endary’ than most of the crap that
is being sold as ‘legendary’ in these
limp times of recycled pap. OK, OK,
old fart mode off.”
Dr. Gunni interviews HAM in some HOT
OLD FART ON OLD FART ACTION!!!

“Complicating matters is that many
Icelanders believe he's a bit too
chummy with some of Iceland's politi-
cians.”

“Getting there by car involves a rather
long trek off the main highway and
over the mountains through a nar-
row, winding pass. Or, you can take
a plane from Reykjavík to Akureyri,
and then a 19-seater Twin Otter
prop plane that will have you singing
“Peggy Sue” all the way over.”
Grapevine goes Vopnafjörður!

“Our Nobel Prize winning novelist,
Halldór Laxness, once wrote that
Icelanders are almost immune to
sensible arguments, preferring to
fight over things that have little to do
with the matter at hand and dwell on
absolute trivialities.”
Egill Helgason writes about Icelanders’
aversion to facts, among other things...

“What was happening was that peo-
ple were going to America, buying an
Apple computer for 300.000, getting
back into the country without paying
taxes, and then registering it in Ice-
land before their next trip to declare
it legal.”
Yes, importing shit to Iceland is a bitter
process.
