[kj] OT Boycott the film Tropic Thunder

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

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.
