    Another Plane. Drove to my job at Hollywood Video. Phone already ringing off the hook. "Do you have THE SIEGE?" (a Bruce Willis, Denzel Washington, Annette Benning film about a terrorist attack on NYC that results in martial law). Every store was out of that movie that day. That's how I found out.

    With the A TENDER HEART feature I’m trying to plot Annette’s development alongside each new memory - so we have basic Annette in the start of the film, and we see more and more of her personality as her past is slowly revealed.

    There is perhaps no greater disconnect between what Saturday Night Fever was actually like and what pop culture has decided to imagine Saturday Night Fever was like. It is a dark movie! Do the makers of the Capital One parody commercial not remember what happened to Annette at the end of the film?
