“If you could put the essence of 3 a.m. in a perfume bottle,” writes Stephanie Zacharek, of Salon<\/em><\/a>, “it would smell like ‘Mulholland Drive’ looks.” And, of course, it’s not playing in State College, PA.<\/font><\/p>\n

“You never know what’s real and what they’re making up in the movies;” writes Roger Ebert in his review<\/a> of the new film Bandits<\/em>. “[Billy Bob] Thornton has a real-life phobia about antique furniture, in fact, and almost had a meltdown once during a visit to Johnny Cash’s antiques-filled home.”<\/font><\/p>\n

This sounded a little too farfetched, but I looked it up online and apparently it’s true. “Anything before 1950 or so,” Thornton told Oprah Winfrey<\/a>, “I’m not big on…some people say maybe it’s a past life thing and I got beat to death with some old chair.

Couldn’t spend ten minutes there. I get hives, can’t breathe.” This, of course, from the man who also says he is the reincarnation of Benjamin Franklin.<\/font><\/p>\n
