“Getting” Movies
What prompted me to write about this? Maggie May Fish’s explanation on Twin Peaks (part 1).

Does Stardom Matter in Movies?
A few weeks back I was looking at the schedule of my local art house theater and noticed a movie I hadn’t heard about: Sound of Violence, or Conductor in major markets.

He is actually only third billed, but because of his parentage (Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall), he is still the one used in marketing. And his parents were specifically mentioned as well.
