When Tarantino or Nolan jump timelines it’s evidence of genius. When Gerwig does it, it’s too hard to follow. To quote Gerwig’s Laurie, “What women are allowed into the club of geniuses anyway?”

I understand the pressure film critics are under to get reviews out quickly at fests. But so many now are clearly written too fast, under impossible conditions, with too little editing. Movies take years to make and grapple with complex themes. Let our critics slow down.

In 2003, I carried a Kate Spade knockoff bag. Her bags represented class, sophistication, and the kind of woman I was pretending to be as a broke young reporter in NY. One day I got a spur-of-moment assignment to interview Spade—while I was carrying the knockoff. 1/3

For years Woody Allen’s rep pressured me and every journalist who covered him to do so a certain way. Dangled and withdrew access based on an outlet’s willingness to ignore his daughter. Watch the doc or don’t, but don’t be naive about Allen’s ability to communicate his own POV.

Here's a question he could've asked: Pfeiffer paid her own way from LA to NY to audition for Scarface after Melanie Griffith + Kim Basinger turned it down. Why did she want the role so badly? What did she do in her audition? At the time, Pacino wanted Glenn Close. Did she know?
