Slog - Comments on Miranda July's Next Movie? http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/02/miranda_julys_next_movie The New York Sun on Miranda July's new film project: Things We Don't Understand and Definitely Are Not Going to Talk About is set to be the basis of her next feature, the script of which she is already in the process of polishing. As much as I adore Me and You and Everyone We Know, however, I have to say I'm way more eager to see the performance piece (which includes a couple from the audience playing a couple on stage) than the film adaptation. Lane Czaplinski, where you at? Also, confidential to MJ: The Script of Which She...

WhY do you folks love her so?

Remove it and you got yourself a sentence. You're welcome.

See reference: Burns, Edward; Solondz, Todd; Anderson, Wes.

If you've seen any of her short films, it's hard to believe that Me and You will be repeated. That said, all of her work is obsessed with the same themes (including such esoterica as blobs and infant sexuality), and that won't change.

I pester MJ with emails every 6 months. She wrote in October to say that her small run at The Kitchen was just a workshop for a movie script.

Yeah, they're both trite, but at least LMS had some heart and isn't just a bunch of pretentious art school bullshit. I couldn't even finish "You and everyone like you" or whatever it was called. It SHOULD have been called "Look How Indie I am." Gah, that movie makes me madder every time I think about it.

@10: I don't like Miranda July; I LOVE Miranda July. And I love Miranda July because of her art show at Tom Landowski; her shorts Atlanta, Nest of Tens, The Amateurist, and Getting Stronger Everyday; her performance pieces Love Diamond and Swan Tool; her short stories; and, oh yeah, Me and You and Everyone We Know. Furthermore, I don't hate Little Miss Sunshine with a fiery passion. I didn't think it should win an Academy Award, but it's an okay little by-the-numbers movie.
