Lizzie Borden

2002-06-20 18:40:19+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Salon ran an interview with "Lizzie Borden", director of the much reviled Forced Entry. It's a fairly fluffy piece, mostly a personality profile of someone who self-admittedly is a bit disturbed and inconsistent (...and grew up in Orange County. Imagine!). Anyway, as Salon has sunk into fluff I didn't expect much, the whole article can be summed up in the closing quote:

"Yeah, I'm fucked up," she says, shrugging. "I can admit it. People say they are sorry for me, and I'm like, why? It's made me a better person. I don't want to be a pansy."

But over at inexplicably fancy trash, Nicholas Urfé took it as an occasion to rant on the brickbats thrown at Borden, to good effect.
