question of the day: Who is the greatest American director working today?

Fri, Sep 24, 2010

Is the day of the auteur over? If it isn’t, who is our greatest auteur? Does it matter if Hollywood doesn’t care about directors anymore? Is that something that can be left to serious film fans?

question of the day: Did you know that the Facebook movie ‘The Social Network’ is fiction?

I haven’t read extensively about the film, but I did assume that it would be at least loosely based on the reality of how Facebook came into existence. I think that’s not an unfair assumption. Am I wrong?

question of the day: On October 30, will you attend Jon Stewart’s Rally to Restore Sanity or Stephen Colbert’s March to Keep Fear Alive?

Almost instantly on the heels of the news of Coppola’s win came grumblings that she only won because the jury president was Quentin Tarantino. Whom she once dated.

question of the day: What actors will you watch in anything?

I wonder whether the big draw of *The American* was George Clooney. Are there more folks out there who, like me, would watch Clooney in absolutely anything?
