...if you think your sensibilities are similar to those of this man, commercial director Noam Murro...
(photo courtesy of viewimage)...if you've been waiting for a newer, slightly different, slightly worse version of Wonder Boys for eight years now...
...then you'll probably go see Smart People this weekend...
...and I will hate you forever!One question I have for the producer of the movie, who, incidentally, also produced Sideways--were Paul Giamatti and Virginia Madsen not available for the Dennis Quaid/Sarah Jessica Parker roles? Or did you burn some bridges, bub? I mean, come on--'crusty English professor/widower' and 'sexy, but respectable, former student who now works as a doctor in an ER?' Don't tell me you didn't try to get them onboard for this barnbuster! Was Giamatti's face irrevocably frozen into a frown after John Adams? Did now-forgotten Virginia Madsen not skew young enough?
Hmmm...I don't know...maybe I shouldn't be knocking this one; I mean, it did get into Sundance, so it must be super good and 'indie'...
