Indie filmmaker update: The Times Online offers some small hints regarding The Fantastic Mr. Fox, while the New Yorker completely curbs my enthusiasm about Noah Baumbauch's upcoming Margot at the Wedding, which I'd been looking forward to ever since I heard about it over the weekend. Just listen to the first sentence of this review:
There are many ways of frustrating and boring an audience, but setting up a bunch of characters who are so inept that they can’t hit a croquet ball, or run through the woods without tripping, or chop down a tree without the tree’s landing on a wedding tent may be the most infuriating way of all.!
