Hey, Kathy. That's awesome that you're covering Joe Swanberg's HANNAH TAKES THE STAIRS, and I just wanted to let you know that Benten Films (the first DVD label run by film critics, of which I'm VP of) just released Swanberg's LOL on DVD on August 28th -- please check it out, our release has been getting great feedback!
And sorry you have to cover both DEDICATION and THE HOTTEST STATE... I threw rotten tomatoes at both of them in the pages of the Village Voice a couple weeks back. Terrible!
Hey Aaron, thanks for the comment. I'm looking forward to "Hannah." It's full-on "Mumblecore" at the Northwest Film Forum, starting tomorrow with "Dance Party USA" and "Quiet City." I hate the term, dig the films.
On the off-chance you'd like to send me a copy of "LOL," I'd be happy to review it...
