March 8, 2025: Yeah, well, I kind of like the 1976 remake of A Star Is Born. (“To think this came out the year punk broke,” I wrote in the notes I took while watching it for the first time recently.) And I will never not find it marvelously weird that Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne wrote the screenplay (with an assist from screenwriter/director Frank Pierson). I wrote about Didion and Dunne’s screenwriting partnership for Vogue.com, which kindly runs my piece today (see here).
