The German series "Durch die Nacht mit..." ("Into The Night") is the gift that keeps on giving. The show, which gets two artists together and then just shoots them as they hang out and talk over a single day, has already yielded a great episode featuring Harmony Korine and Gaspar Noé (which you can watch right here). And now, making another case that a U.S. broadcaster (IFC maybe?) should snap up the rights and bring it over stateside, the show that aired this summer featuring Terry Gilliam and Jon Landis has made its way online. It's been banging around the web for a bit but missed our attention, and thanks to a helpful reader, we figure it might make a good weekend watch. And yeah, these two guys look like they're having a blast spending some time wandering around, and it's pretty great to be fly on the wall,...

Okay, so this one is a little bit old and some of you diehard Harmony Korine or Gaspar Noe fans have probably already seen this. But for those of you who haven't, and especially if you're impatiently awaiting Korine's "Spring Breakers" and/or whatever Noe's next feature will be, this will surely tide you over. Back in 2010, these two filmmaking friends took part in the German series "Durch die Nacht mit..." ("Into The Night") which essentially pairs up two artists, and basically rolls film. Thank God to whoever determined that Korine and Noe should hang out, because the results are pretty great. The pair spent the day goofing in Nashville, where they go a gun range, visit a junkyard, attend a screening of Korine's "Trash Humpers," go have some chicken and talk about all manner of topics. Oh yeah, there's also a random cameo by David Berman of The Silver Jews.
