I would also just like to say
. . . that your final critical essay pitches are the best batch I've ever seen. You've individually and collectively come up with some bold and fascinating ideas. I can't wait to see them. Bravo!
Some relevant "Crazy Heart" links
Don't forget we're meeting early tonight for dinner before our screening of "Crazy Heart": 5:15 p.m., Humphrey House.
Here's a piece about the novel the film is based on and some history of the writer and his intentions/influences.
Here's A.O. Scott's review, although I don't recommend your reading it before writing your own!
And here's a very cool audio slideshow of Jeff Bridges on the road from last Sunday's magazine. You can find more images of this year's best performers as a lead up to the Oscars by searching around a little. Enjoy!
