Maybe this will create some excitement around a Sopranos film as well. One can hope. </p> <img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=97878" width="1" height="1">http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/screengrab/archive/2008/05/30/take-five-hbo.aspx#97848Sat, 31 May 2008 17:13:51 GMTbd485f5c-a45b-491f-8e52-c79e7f680fc3:97848That Fuzzy Bastard<p>I'll put in an endorsement for a straight-to-cable/video HBO production: The Positively True Adventures of the Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom. &nbsp;This one digs below it's true-crime title, not by going into the psychology of its gleefully vapid characters, but by ruthlessly dissecting the bottom-feeders who congregate around them. &nbsp;In the script's clever structure, the first third of the picture tells the story of the uncompleted crime, while the rest of the movie is entirely about the Cheerlead-(attempted) Murdering Mom becoming a media-savvy self-promoter, as she negotiates the rights to a made-for-TV movie about her story. &nbsp;Which she ends up selling, in the HBO-made movie, to HBO (with the HBO producer and writer playing themselves). &nbsp;Add a terrific Holly Hunter performance to the metafictional stew, and you've got a real neglected gem.</p> <img src="http://www.nerve.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=97848" width="1" height="1">
