Identical twin brothers Josh & Jeremy married identical twin sisters Brittany & Briana. Both couples gave birth to baby boys at the same time. Although technically cousins, the boys are genetically brothers. It gets more weird: Both families live together in the same house.

Steven Soderbergh did a pre-movie Q&A before High Flying Bird and former collaborators sent in questions. Christopher Nolan asked when he’ll leave the dark side and return to celluloid. Soderbergh said he would when Nolan writes his next script with a pencil.

If you think a film critic is best judged by how often you agree with them then you’re just insecurely looking for someone to rubber stamp your opinion. Some of the best writing I’ve ever read has an entirely opposite take from mine. That’s what makes this interesting.
