- I lost 13 stone – now I know the truth about obesity
I wanted a name that I liked. July looked good on everything and seemed edible. Their stories are their own.
America’s Angel
View all New York Times newsletters. Like what? When July was a kid, she cut her foot and somehow, in family lore, this became stigmata. The family seemed open to magic. These fascinations first emerged in a play she wrote in high school, inspired by her correspondence with a prisoner who was jailed for murdering a man who had repeatedly robbed his gas station.
She found him through an ad for a prisoner-correspondence program in the back of a magazine.

Then she walked around Berkeley, into the backyard of a friend, took off her clothes and climbed into a lukewarm hot tub. Years before, in Portland, she was hired as a tastemaker by an ad agency; Coca-Cola later realized that a name chosen for a new Coke product had also been suggested by her, so the company sent her a check.
I can only make one movie. But in truth, it was pretty great. July set out to write a tighter, more controlled story than her first film, with fewer characters. She was also in her 30s, and she was feeling older and less rainbow colored. And then after 50, the rest is just loose change.
For July, the story of a woman fleeing her life was a personal purging. So I think I was like: O. So you leave. Then what happens? Your soul follows you. In the film, the soul takes the shape of a yellow T-shirt, which literally creeps out to the suburbs and back to Sophie. Then Sophie climbs inside the shirt for a kind of dance of suffocation and rebirth. It may not convert all her critics, and it might shock some of her fans.

And Paw-Paw, that cat with the bandaged paw, who narrates the movie? I swear that talking cat will make you cry. Back at her office, July showed me a few of his things, which had been photographed for the book. The couple met at a place called Paw Paw Lake, an uncanny coincidence that July discovered only after creating her own Paw-Paw.

In the spring, his wife died, too. July found out that most of their things were being tossed in a Dumpster, and so, in a panic, she drove over to their house and rescued as many objects as she could. The tableau — July rifling through a box of poignant mementos, including a plastic-cow diorama that she placed gently on its side — could well have been a scene in one of her films.
It could even, at first glance, have seemed like the kind of moment her critics accuse her of: a boxful of curiosities passed off as profundity. There was no fetishizing of the oddball, no crippling nostalgia, no lack of gravitas, either in that desire or in its result. Maybe not everyone will believe this about her. I asked her what, if anything, she would like to say to those people.
This is all too hard to do to actually be kidding about the whole thing. An article on Page 24 this weekend about the film director Miranda July reverses, in one instance, the first two words in the title of one of her movies.

Smith, a postal worker. He was raised in a Catholic household [6] [7] in the nearby clamming town of Highlands. As a child, Smith's days were scheduled around his father's late shifts at the post office. His father grew to despise his job, which greatly influenced Smith, who remembers his father finding it difficult on some days to get up and go to work.
Smith vowed never to work at something that he did not enjoy. Smith later attended Henry Hudson Regional High School , [8] where as a B and C student, he would videotape school basketball games and produce sketch comedy skits in the style of Saturday Night Live. An overweight teen, he developed into a comedic observer of life in order to successfully socialize with friends and girls. On his 21st birthday, Smith went to see Richard Linklater 's comedy Slacker.
Smith, impressed by the fact that Linklater set and shot the film in his hometown of Austin, Texas rather than on a soundstage in a major city, was inspired to become a filmmaker, and to set films where he lived. Unlike the other two, Smith left halfway through the course; he figured he knew enough to proceed, and wanted to save money to help with making his film.
Smith moved home to New Jersey and got his old job back at a convenience store in Leonardo. At a restaurant following the screening, Miramax executive Harvey Weinstein invited Smith to join him at his table, where he offered to buy the movie. Released in October in two cities, the film went on to play in 50 markets, never playing on more than fifty screens at any given time.
At an appeals screening, a jury consisting of members of the National Association of Theater Owners reversed the MPAA's decision, and the film was given an R rating instead. According to producer and author John Pierson , it is considered one of the two most influential film debuts in the s, along with The Brothers McMullen. Smith's second film, Mallrats , which marked Jason Lee 's debut as a leading man, did not fare as well as expected. Despite failing at the box office during its theatrical run, Mallrats proved more successful in the home video market. Widely hailed as Smith's best film, 's Chasing Amy marked what Quentin Tarantino called "a quantum leap forward" for Smith.
Smith, whose brother Donald is gay, found this accusation frustrating, as he has endeavored to be an LGBT -conscious filmmaker, believing that sexuality is more fluid, with social taboos, and not sexual desire, preventing more people from expressing bisexuality. Smith's fourth film, Dogma , featured an all-star cast and found itself mired in controversy.
Smith then focused the spotlight on the two characters who had appeared in supporting roles in his previous four films.
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back featured an all-star cast, with many familiar faces returning from Smith's first four films. However, the film took a critical beating [28] as it was seen as, in Smith's own words, " Gigli 2 ", due to the fact that it co-starred Affleck and his then-girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez.
In the sequel, Clerks II , Smith revisited the Dante and Randal characters from his first film for what was his final visit to the View Askewniverse. The film, which was released on October 31, , ran into many conflicts getting an "R" rating, with Rogen stating:. It's a really filthy movie. I hear they are having some problems getting an R rating from an NC rating, which is never good. They [fight against] sex stuff. Isn't that weird? It's really crazy to me that Hostel is fine, with people gouging their eyes out and shit like that, but you can't show two people having sex — that's too much.

Smith took the film through the MPAA's appeals process and received an R rating without having to make any further edits. I was depressed, man. I wanted that movie to do so much better. I'm sitting there thinking 'That's it, that's it, I'm gone, I'm out. The movie didn't do well and I killed Seth Rogen's career!
