Our Commenters of the Week Get to Build Their Own Provocative Bret!
This week's "Commenters of the Week" prize is designed specifically for our engineering friends. Have you found yourself reading about a provocative "Bret" on Movieline -- whether he's a porn-loving diabetic on the mend or an iconic author/screenwriter who doesn't care for female directors -- and thought, "You know, I could construct an even more incendiary Bret -- if only I had the means." Well, Movieline is giving you access to its garage of tools, blueprints, soundbite instruction guides and Casio voice boxes. Your Bret will be as bandanna-loving or American Psycho-imagining as the real thing. So, who wins?
stolidog on Simon Cowell Lies, Calls 'Idol' Perfect: "Scratch that, I have a new panel: Diana Ross, Grace Jones, Laurie Anderson, Joan Jett."
Marcy on TV Bites: Fox Introduces the Kilborn File: "What's a Craig Kilborn?"
CiscoMan on Your 2012 Olympic Mascots: Jolliest. Cyclops. Ever.: "Wow, I thought the Atlanta 1996 mascot's blatant kid pandering and design-by-committee blandness would never be outdone. Kudos, London."
metroville on Director of Obscure Dominique Swain Movie Refashions Himself as Tea Party Martyr: "'...his English degree from Stanford University, which means absolutely nothing to anyone in the entertainment field.' Don't undersell it. It means absolutely nothing to everyone but Jon Kahn."
Alice on Bret Easton Ellis on 'American Psycho,' Christian Bale, and His Problem with Women Directors: "Blargh. I enjoyed the interview up until all of the horseshit about the male gaze. Women aren't aroused visually? I don't know how else to put it: that is completely untrue. Simply. Not. True.
Why isn't there a female Scorsese or Spielberg? You do know women couldn't even vote until 1920, right? I suppose you could say men had a few centuries' leg up on achieving their highest hopes and dreams. You expect sexual inequity to balance out in 90 years?
You know what will help create more successful female directors? Judgments like Ellis', that's for sure! And he's one of my favorite writers.... so disappointing. At least he said he's rethinking it."
Congrats to all!
