Getting back to Tree of Life, here's what LA Times columnist Meghan Daum posted on Twitter:
Tree of Life: a movie or a screensaver? #treeoflife #isowantedtoloveit

Watched "Burlesque" tonight. Thought it was a relatively pointless movie, but oh-my-God, Cher's and Christina's voices were perfection. I've decided there's no way I'll ever be a lesbian because I fast-forwarded through all the semi-naked-girl scenes:)

Greetings from the 13th annual Provincetown International Film Festival!
A Maxfield-Parrish-blue dusk sky and a buttery full moon reflected in the bay provided the backdrop for the opening night selection: "The Perfect Family" with Kathleen Turner. The Ptown glitterati, such as they are, showed up for the sold-out screening, including John Waters, who hugged Miss Turner right in front of me.
Miss Turner plays Eileen Cleary, who is up for the "Catholic Woman of the Year" award, yet her lesbian daughter (Emily Deschanel) is pregnant, and her son (Jason Ritter) is leaving his wife for the town manicurist, and the bishop wants to have a home visit! Let's just say her faith is challenged, and along the way, she receives counseling from the liberal-minded Father Joe, played by Scott Michael Campbell--better known around these parts as Monroe! Seems there's always a Brokie connection.
Miss Turner was very gracious in the Q&A, volunteering that she should get credit for not being vain, as her character had a bad Lady Di wig and less-than-glamorous clothes.
Best line: "I don't have to think--I'm Catholic!"
Meryl:
Thanks for the evocative review, Paul. So cool that you got to see John Waters hug Kathleen Turner! Oh to be in P-town.... 8)
