Marshall Fine, who has the distinction of having authored quite-good biographies of Sam Peckinpah and John Cassavetes on the one hand, and being the movie reviewer for a magazine the mass of whose readership is likely to say “Gesundheit!” or some such were you to pronounce Cassavetes’ name in their presence (that would be The Star) on the other, has started his own website, with the groanworthy yet apt name Hollywood and Fine. He’s got a reasonably lengthy interview up with Barry Levinson and Robert DeNiro (on their not-bad What Just Happened?) that features the often Sphinx-like DeNiro in a more loquacious mode than I’ve seen him in of late. Good stuff.

Thanks for the heads-up, Glenn. “Bloody Sam” is one of my faves.
