Why the fuck would anyone interview Dakota Fanning?
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why the fuck would anyone interview Dakota Fanning?
Because she called up, said "Seven Days" on the phone, and he was afraid she'd come crawling out of his television if he didn't give her some publicity?
I realize it was actually Davleigh Chase in THE RING, but DF is much, much creepier.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"alternative" papers like the L.A. Weekly give de facto bad reviews to Hollywood movies while offering a free pass to any movie with a low budget, gay cowboys, or one of the Tilly sisters.
Also? Those gay cowboys and the Tilly sisters are pretty freaking Hollywood to me, especially after reading the Voice thing. I think my issue is not that I don't believe the critics, but that they seem to forget that they are still writing for a relatively mass-market audience -- or should be. I mean, shit, the Voice is free on every street corner in Manhattan!

Oh, on the surface Dakota seems creepier with her surprised bush baby eyes and ultrasonic screams, but I think Miss Everyone-Will-Suffer can put more eerieness in her acting performance.

The true horror is that Dakota isn't acting. She's a living uncanny valley.

especially after reading the Voice thing.
That's exactly why I read the Voice film section. Because I know they'll be covering a lot of films that they've seen in film festivals that may or may not be released stateside so I can track them down in the video store. There are plenty of other resources for tracking mainstream film.
Don't go harshing on J. Hoberman!

BAH! I will harsh if I want to. I'm fine with the coverage throughout the year, because they do review all kinds of things. It was just having the year-end wrap-up be so full of people and films I'd never heard of that bugged. Not that I follow cinema.

Jesse's Resolution For The New Year: Quit smoking (again), see more film festivals in Berlin and Bangkok, preferably featuring lots of directors I've never heard of before. Get Makeover by famous fashion designer, preferably while on television.

I think I'll start with just trying to shift the superhero/non-superhero movie ratio a bit.

Which way? I'm thinking with your current romance it's going to be more superheroes more of the time.
