S1m0ne, with Al Pacino and Catherine Keener. This is another one of those stories that I might reference back to that William Gibson novel (I remembered - it's Idoru!) that explored the nature of celebrity, and interestingly the movie is almost a direct parallel of some of the novel's plot in some ways. It is, however, in being a movie much more simplified, and beyond that ventures into the more blatant rather than subtle satire. It was interesting, but there seemed to be something that made the movie unsettlingly disjointed; maybe how it was edited? I'm not sure.
