I love Anthony Lane's film reviews in the New Yorker-- sometimes he is just scathing! Here's his take on Madonna's recent directorial debut:
What vexes me most about “Filth and Wisdom” is the economics. Madonna has been a global star for decades. She has amassed a fortune, much of which presumably remains intact. She can’t have spent all of it on jodhpurs and conical bras. So why, when it came to launching herself as a film director, did she limit her budget to $365.23? Such, at any rate, is my estimate for the funding of “Filth and Wisdom.” If the actors were paid according to their talents, they cannot have cost more than forty bucks.
Yowza-- that's gotta hurt, even if you're wearing protective garb such as jodhpurs and conical bras!

Don't they call those vanity projects, they serve no purpose other than to make the creator feel important. Mr M works in Hollywood, he's done several projects like that. People with more money than sense.
Hi Madame X,
I'm emailing you in regards to an email I sent to you last month about a partnership, have you had a chance to think about it?
If you have any questions or would more information, please advise me and we can go from there.
Kind Regards,
Andrew Knight
