...that all humans are fucking animals. Which I thought was a pretty interesting anthropological observation, but betrayed a nihilism in her world view latent up to this point. Then she got that awful short haircut when she was trying to play Edie Sedgwick in a movie that Mary Kate Olsen is also in. Then she called Pittsburgh the “shit,” and many truculent Steelers fans made threats on her life. The whole time this was happening, however, Sienna was wearing Mod dresses and even she, normally a very attractive woman, looked awful, which leads...
DIED. Tillie Olsen, 94, political, feminist writer and advocate for the working class who gave life to characters seldom before celebrated in fiction: ordinary women struggling to survive amid the demands of jobs and motherhood; in Oakland, Calif. For many years a working mom with little time to write, she produced a small body of hugely influential work.

When asked about the potential for international performances, he responds...
...Affleck, who plays Reeves, was obsessed with getting his real-life role down perfectly. He watched all 108 episodes of the original Superman series, read stacks of material about the actor's life and death, met with the actor who played Jimmy Olsen on the old TV show, and gained 20 pounds to more closely resemble the hunky TV hero. He even listened endlessly to CDs of Reeves' voice so he could get the same intonations and timbre. "It wasn't an imitation of George's voice, but an embodiment," says Coulter. There were other, more subtle shifts as well...
