BACK Hey, everyone! I know I haven't posted here in quite a while, but I've got my reasons. Like getting a new job and celebrating the Vivster's 30th birthday. I promise I'll be back this week with reviews of films by Marker, Godard, Malle, and maybe Ophuls. So stayed tuned and, in the meantime, I'd like to give a shout out to "The Interpreter," the most self-important, self-serious film that I've seen in quite some time. It was a lot of fun to watch Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn constantly one-upping each other in intensity. I honestly wouldn't have been surprised if they had broken into a old school Conan-and-Andy staring contest. Oh, and by the way, did I mention how fucking boring it was? For fuck's sake, is this really the best Hollywood can do?  ¶ 10:01 AM
