There are two types of middle-aged people in the world: Those who didn’t see John Newland’s 1973 made-for-TV movie Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark when it aired, and those who did see it and were marked for life.

Based on the Marvel comic, the 3D action adventure starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, and Anthony Hopkins, outdistanced fellow new arrivals such as "Jumping the Broom" and "Something Borrowed."

"Something Borrowed," the movie, is a smart romantic comedy with the right mixture of edge and fun. Bringing the zaniness is Kate Hudson as Darcy, Rachel’s (Ginnifer Goodwin) impetuous and somewhat selfish best friend.

We thought the camera was not rolling yet, so we were talking about the movie, the Coachella Music and Arts Festival, Madonna, and Lauryn Hill! Funny stuff.

In the film, Ginnifer Goodwin (Rachel) and John Krasinski (Ethan) star as longtime friends, and in real-life, they seemed to be BFFs as well. I enjoyed the romantic but biting notion of the film, and it was such a treat seeing these two actors.

"Something Borrowed," the beloved bestseller is now a major motion picture, and author Emily Giffin is behind the project 100%! In this interview, we talked about:

For an ode to pretentious, up-your-own-ass, "artistic" indie shit, there's nothing quite like the opening minutes of Baghead. The protagonists are at a film festival, where the film "We Are Naked" is having its world premiere. It's shot in grainy black-and-white, the dialogue is ludicrous, and just before the end-credits roll, the lead couple take off all their clothes and have sex. On their feet. In the front yard.
