*Michael Tully calls David Lynch's Inland Empire "an extremely gifted artist fucking around in his backyard". Is anyone surprised by this? Yeah, I thought I liked David Lynch in high school, when I was attracted to complete lunatics and the best way to bait them was to talk about how much you loved his work while listening to Bauhaus.
*Yet another disappointed blogger talks about Sofia C's Marie Antoinette. Despite the negative reviews from virtually 100% of the audiences at each screening, I think I'm still going to see it. Why? Definitely not because I actually like anything she's done before, because I don't. I do, however, like New Order. A lot.
*This weekend's box office was led by two films 1% more stimulating than the lowest common denominator.
*From now on, when people approach me to ask if "anyone has ever told you that you look like...", I can respond with "Esquire Magazine's Sexiest Woman Alive 2006? Yeah."
Don't make me bitch-slap you Eliza. David Lynch remains a genius. Except for Dune.
Sofia Coppola on the other hand....jury is still out. "Lost in Translation" gets the thumbs up. "Virgin Suicides" gets thumbs sideways. Her first short film "Lick the Star" or whatever definitely gets a thumbs down and even lower because it's sooo obvious she got traction with that because of who she is and not what she did. But we'll see...
