Which is actually me! From one of my Cannes dispatches last year.

It's relevant to my intention of having readers remember an unknown actress I'm raving about. "Joanne Tucker" might not stick—in fact, I myself just had to go up to the review and remind myself what her name is, as "Tucker" in particular is very common. "Adam Driver's wife," on the other hand, probably will stick.…

It's clearly the same exact software. I started to mention that in the review, but the aside got a bit convoluted and I figured not many people saw Listen to Me Marlon anyway, so I cut it.

Did that solely because she's female. Had an actor I'd never previously heard of turned out, when I looked him up, to have a very famous wife (or husband, for that matter), I certainly would not have mentioned it.

"Journalist using the medium of film" is my whole problem with most documentaries. Even ignoring that, though, the Bernstein comparison is weird, as I didn't suggest that Gibney should only make films about, say, Enron. Watergate and Hillary Clinton are clearly in the same ballpark. WikiLeaks and James Brown are not.…

Put out a call to my Twitter followers, one of whom has an old VHS copy. "I'm a Believer" is performed in the film by someone named Jim Roberge. The confusion on Wikipedia, IMDb and other sites is due to the misleading way it's credited onscreen:

I'm 100% certain. The Wiki page actually says "Neil Diamond's 'I'm a Believer,'" which is technically accurate in that Diamond did write it. But it's definitely not his recording that was once heard in Blood Simple. Nor is it the Monkees version. Sounds like a shitty bar band doing a sort of alt-country rendition. I…

Noted, thanks. Looks like he's been pretty successful, too.

No, I was referring there to the editing changes made in the 2000 "director's cut." That cut replaced the original Four Tops song, and it's still there. Sorry if that was unclear.

I honestly don't think any other director (or directing team) in cinema history has come out of the gate with four films as stunning as Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, Miller's Crossing and Barton Fink. Fargo was actually a slight letdown for me in '96 (technically Nov '95; I saw an early test screening, before there…

No, it's not Diamond's recording, either. I tried to figure out who performed it once and failed. It's really obscure.

Wow, that's…dramatically different. Having never seen the film previously, I had no reason to think anything was awry—unlike you, I don't think the Criterion disc looks bad per se. But obviously the Blu should reflect how the film originally looked on celluloid, and somebody clearly got it hideously wrong. (I'd like…

The two aren't mutually exclusive, but "gullible" is probably a better word (albeit an adjective rather than a noun).

I don't know why you're telling me this. I'm well aware of it; I saw the movie. Was trying not to spoil it for those who haven't.

It still seems blatantly obvious to me, but plug the gibberish below in here.

Again, that would not work for reasons that are spoileriffic. There was no good solution, really, which is why I ultimately opted to just remove any reference to the person's age.

I've removed the age entirely. It's part of why I immediately jumped to what seemed like the obvious conclusion, but it's not really important enough to merit all this confusion.

This is addressed elsewhere in the comments.

"The problem here kinda lies in spoiler territory, as another commenter in this thread notes."

The thing is, though, I can't think of a way to phrase it that's correct but not super-awkward. Best I can manage is "Eventually, the filmmakers follow the trail back to a woman named Terri DiSisto, a.k.a. Terri Tickle, who was engaged in suspiciously similar activity back in the ’90s, when she was 23." But even that…
