Notes from someone who’s seen exactly 3 movies in the past 6 years

1. From what I read, 2012 is a big-budget, low-brains remake of Miracle Mile, while completely missing the point of the original. So sad.

2. Meryl Streep was totally wasted in Fantastic Mr. Fox. And I don’t mean she was drunk–well, maybe she was, who knows?–but her talent went largely unused. Seems like a crime to have Meryl Streep in a movie and not make more use of what she can do.

On the other hand, everyone deserves to relax now and then. If Streep is going to be taking a break, there’s no harm in her doing it in the context of a movie.

And, on the plus side, they didn’t let Gilbert Gottfried or anyone who sounds like him get anywhere near the place.

  2. You think Meryl Streep is wasted in "The Fantastic Mr. Fox"? In "A Prairie Home Companion," she's forced to watch in helpless silence while the big, emotional speech is delivered by Lindsay Lohan.
