[kj] OT Boycott the film Tropic Thunder

If _Lost in Translation_ did not have the name "Sofia Coppola" attached
to it, I honestly believe a) no one would give a damn, and b) at least
50% of the critics who found something artsy in the prolonged,
mind-numbingly slow silences that characterize the movie, would not have
given it positive reviews.

Just witness Coppola's next project, Marie Antoinette, where she tried
to give the controversial, cruel woman from french history a hip
post-punk soundtrack. That one was also bad, and at least by that time
many critics' star struck "SOFIA COPPOLA!" bias had worn off a bit.
