As a teenager, he was obsessed with the original Pac-Man and played it at the arcade every day.
A24’s ‘Tony,’ starring Dominic Sessa as a young Anthony Bourdain, is an unexpected choice for Matt Johnson’s Hollywood entry. The 40-year-old Canadian filmmaker’s first two features — 2013’s ‘The Dirties’ and 2016’s ‘Operation Avalanche’ — were loose low-budget films starring himself, made by messing around with friends, and built on spontaneity and the belief that a movie reveals itself in the edit. Running alongside those two films was the project that made Johnson a cult figure: ‘Nirvanna the Band the Show,’ which was adapted into a feature film that sent Johnson crisscrossing North America on a nearly sold-out screening tour. Once known mostly to Toronto cinephiles, he now gets routinely recognized on the street — including when he spent a day with Vulture critic Nicholas Quah.
‘Tony’ is as much a biography of Bourdain as Johnson. The character of Bourdain’s mother, played by Dagmara Dominczyk, is directly inspired by Johnson’s mother, a physician whose exacting standards both intimidated and shaped him. The young Bourdain’s early self-mythologizing echoed Johnson's own instinct to invent himself before he'd earned it: “Lying and manipulating — putting on a false identity of somebody who has achieved something, even though I had done nothing — was a way to patch things over,” Johnson says, “because I felt there was an expectation on me to be great.”
Johnson talks about why he changed his mind about taking on ‘Tony,’ how he feels about his older comedy material now, and more: https://t.co/XBSHuv06QR
Marine mammals are the most insane group of animals. Like what do you mean you sleep in a place where have to wake up every few minutes to go find some air to breathe.
