Feb 21 2008 Michel Gondry's 'Be Kind, Amanda Bynes'
Michel Gondry is often praised for his unique vision and quirky ideas, but is it possible his newest film, Be Kind Rewind, stole the notion of video store employees remaking films from Nickelodeon's The Amanda Show.

The director will hopefully move past these claims of plagiarism with his next original film, in which a slimy green substance descends on anyone who expresses verbal uncertainty.

Sep 13 2007 Sydney White Poster Has Many Positive Attributes
This poster for Amanda Bynes' teen comedy Sydney White is so good, I can barely decide what my favorite part is! Is it...
- the unique, one-of-a-kind white background/red text motif?
- that they've keenly avoided the implication that Sydney White endorses white supremacy by including a black guy?
- how subtly it alludes to the Snow White parallel?
- that, despite the obvious Snow White parallel, they seem to have confused portions with Cinderella and included evil sisters?
- that Amanda Bynes is "all grown up."

Aug 6 2007 Sydney White Trailer
Finally someone has made an original movie where, in an original story, a group of caricatured, snotty, blond, rich girls are taken down by a group of (original) nerd characters, all while an original pretty girl who befriends the nerds scores the unique attractive guy character that the lead original snotty girl wants. Why hadn't someone thought to combine these elements yet?
You can see it all in the above trailer for Sydney White, complete with the most insincere intro possible by Amanda Bynes.
