I’m totally in love with the new R.J. Cutler documentary, The September Issue, chronicling the assembling of Vogue‘s September 2007 edition. In fact, my only beef with the movie was its 90-minute running time, seeing how I’d have happily sat through five more hours. And that gave me an idea. Considering how many bad TV shows have centered around working in magazines (anyone remember MTV’s horrible I’m From Rolling Stone?), why couldn’t Cutler take all his unused footage and turn it into a limited-run series, focusing on everything from the wackiness of Andre Leon Talley (hello kimonos!) to the fascinating history of Grace Coddington? Pretty please? Sure, I’d take a consolation prize of DVD extras, but I still say The September Issue: The Series has breakout potential. If you’re with me, turn the comments section into an online petition! Go!
“Totally in love” with this? Oooooh, isn’t that just fabulous! I’m twinking with delight over your ladylike reaction to this boring film about a shrewish magazine editor.
Homophobia much? I only say this because of your need to insult someone’s “ladylike reaction.” Couldn’t you just say that the film looks boring without the insult?
I’m still waiting for the movie itself to come to a theater near me. Since I live in DC, that shouldn’t be too tall of an order.
I agree. I’d LOVE to seethe inner workings behind Vogue. Wonder why they never thought to do a one-off miniseries reality show before.
Yes! Great idea. Great people behind Vogue, and I love Anna Wintour’s hair.
I’m definitely going to watch it, but I think “Ugly Betty” is similar enough to this to count. :0)
It should a Tv series that/s my thoughts.
