NP - This Xmas Season's Movies

[Mark Kohut]

Trailers are not for viewing.

Lonergan and Affleck are kindred spirits creatively, although sometimes
explosively so. The two endlessly dissected the minutiae of every scene.
"There was one day where Casey and Kenny argued for 30 minutes about
whether Casey should walk into the kitchen or living room or he should stop
in the kitchen before he went into the living room to deliver this line, or
he should deliver the line standing next to the table, or should he deliver
it in the doorway," recalls Hedges.
