...Looking back over your resumé, with films like City of Angels, which was a remake of Wim Wenders' epic Wings of Desire, and Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, based on the popular book series, you seem confident in taking popular material and reworking it. The only movies I've made that have had that kind of source material are the ones that motivated me to get off my ass and make them, because I thought there was yet another interesting point of view to the material. I think my friend Elvis Mitchell put it really well...
...resumés of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association are a little more obscure. Few make a full-time living as movie critics for their international publications; most are showbiz reporters, celebrity hawks, gossip paragraphists. Legend had it that in the Association's early days, some HFPA members were only vagrantly attached to news organs, and that once a year they'd get to host a party for the movie stars whose hair they'd dressed or cars they'd parked.

He won't win, but the result could provide an unexpected...
...surprise many of your students and faculty, but the Harvard name no longer has the luster that it one had on an applicant's resum. I deal with post-graduates on an almost daily basis, and in recent years, those who came from Harvard have been deficient in their base intellect as well as in their education--and these same people had spectacular grades on their transcripts...
