Theory of the Leisure Class

[HelloGayNow]

I just saw this the other day. WOW... It's hard to believe that a 20 year old wrote a screenplay about economic theory and social decay. If I wasn't convinced that she was a genius before (and I was pretty sure) I definately am now. Anyone know any tidbits about her involvement?



Also, during the director's commentary Tuesday Knight makes a comment about Amber being on Buffy "where she belongs". Anyone have any ideas about the Hollywood climate with reguards to the show?

I believe Variety may have also done a review

Was that spoken in a negative sense?



Anyway, now I am going to have to see it, very curious.

I was actually wondering if anyone knew why she doesn't seem to mention her involvement with the project. It's rarely referenced in her filmography.



None of my business really, just curious -- cat like in fact, and we all know what that got the cat.

[helpful information perha]

it's listed on her hollywood.com site



FWIW, I don't think the film got a great review from Variety

[xita]

I don't know why that would have been a good question but honestly I hadn't heard the full extent of her involvement in this film. So this was kind of news to me, the association was there but just not quite sure how.

Maybe it is that mysterious doppleganger, you know the Amber Benson that did the review for American Wedding.
