FABULOUS FASHIONISTA FLICK

Hidiho, movie masters, well this week, I went to see something a little off the beaten track and you know what - it was goooooood. I went with the missus (hereafter, to be known as MRS. C. - C IS FOR CINEPINION). What I saw was THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE, directed by R.J. CUTLER, who is the director of that fine flick, behind the scenes of the CLINTON campaign, THE WAR ROOM. This time we're behind the scenes with editor- in-chief of VOGUE, (ANNA WINTOUR), as she assembles the September 2007 edition, their biggest one in history.

My wife, has been eagerly awaiting this film, and since VOGUE, is her bible, the way that VARIETY, is mine, I thought she would be the ideal person to interview, about the film, so here goes...

MR. C. : What was your overall impression of the movie?

MRS. C. : I thought it was very slick and well-edited. I did not think there was a dull moment, in the whole movie.

MR. C. : I have to agree and concur with you there. It received a zero, on my personal schluffometer.

MRS. C. : I was also pleasantly surprised at all the men in the audience.

MR. C. : And some of them were straight.

MRS. C. : Good one .

MR. C. : How do you think Ms. Wintour, came off in the film?

MRS. C. : She came off, very guarded, very professional and strictly business. As opposed to her right hand person, GRACE CODDINGTON, who is the creative director, of the mag.

MR. C. : Yeah, I thought GRACE, was much more boho, more of a free spirit.

MRS. C. : Yeah, and WINTOUR, was humourless. But, the movie showed how they needed each other, and really relied on one another.

MR. C. : What else did you like about the doc?

MRS. C. : It really looked, behind the scenes, at the creative process, involved in putting a fashion mag together.

MR. C. : Cutler, was obviously granted full access.

MR. C. : And may I add, the clothes

MR. C. :
The stores... Oh, I thought we were doing the theme for GREEN ACRES.

MRS. C. : Wouldn't it be more appropriate, to do the theme for HAPPY DAYS?

MR. C. : Good one MRS. C.

MRS C. : You're welcome Arthur.

MR. C. : Getting back to the film - any last words?

MRS. C. : Yeah, for once, something I had highly anticipated, didn't disappoint.

MRS. C. : Yeah, kind of like PORKY'S 12, where they finally got the formula right.

MRS. C. : You and your PORKY'S 12.

MR. C. : GOOD NIGHT MRS. C.

MRS. C. : GOOD NIGHT MR. C.

...AND UNTIL NEXT TIME...
