Good 'Teenage Pap' REVIEW

^ Cool and interesting review read, for those interested... good to hear that the movie gets into psychology of paparazzi, and those they photograph... the "mutual-use" nature of their relationships.

I just saw it and thought it was really good. It was much better than I'd been expecting. There was definitely more analysis and a broader range of issues examined. I liked how Adrian had access to celebrities - both actors and celebrity celebrities like Hilton - how he interviewed a large number of paparazzi, how he went around with them. And then how when Austin started becoming famous he realised it was out of his control, admitted he had made a mistake yet ended it nicely by showing how Austin had grown somewhat. Talking about the mutual nature of the relationshp was interesting and also having the sociologist and stuff, interviewing the teens and the magazine publishers - yeah I was surprisingly impressed, he covered a lot of ground I hadn't been expecting. My favourite part was when Austin's friend had a camera crew there, Austin did, and then Adrian showed up, and then some guy from "Teen Vogue" covering the boys...it was so funny, everyone was just shooting for no purpose, creating something out of nothing.
