IFC Center Packed at Last For Horowitz Book Launch
Any of you who follow Josh Horowitz's film and culture blog Better Than Fudge already know the hell out of this, but all of the sudden, the guy has a book out there. The Mind of the Modern Moviemaker is the culmination of more than a year's worth of Horowitz's interviews with directors like Michel Gondry, Kevin Smith, Patty Jenkins and more than a dozen others, grilling them on everything from working methods to the relevance of Roger Ebert and so, so much more.

Horowitz hosted the book's release party Wednesday night at IFC Center, where I did not get nearly enough time to chat with him but did fall in love with the Canadian doorgirl and narrow down the three best Depeche Mode songs ever (for the record: "Home," "Blue Dress" and "Shake the Disease") with a couple of local film's nicest publicists. Where I really dropped the ball, however, was in divining Modern Moviemaker's true, wrenching nature, which was never more evident than Amazon is making it right now:
Actually, when I think about it, reading at length about Brett Ratner does kind of get me into a harrowing funk. But it is not as if the Neil LaBute Q&A does not make up for it. I mean, at least a little.
