At the WOW Report, producer Fenton Bailey names a 42-second TMZ clip of Julia Roberts confronting a cameraman as his favorite movie of 2007. The blurb:

“Julia Attacks!” [The video's actual title is "America's Pissed-off Sweetheart"--Ed.] is a TMZ video in which Julia Roberts chases down and gives a telling off to a paparazzi. Julia — absent from our screens for too long — is completely convincing in this role as an angry mom. The car chase is excellent and the cinematography visceral and immersive. Some moviegoers might be disappointed that this movie is less than a minute long because Julia has her costar turn off the camera before she delivers her speech about children and paparazzi, but most movies are too long anyway.

I love that last last line. Movies are too long, too bloated, too full of filler. If the base motivator to see a Hollywood film is to see a star being a star, then a clip like this reduces it to what’s it’s all about. Julia Roberts asserts her dominance on the celebrity food chain (and thus, in the universe) by convincing a paparazzo to stop plying his trade by turning off his video camera. That she manages to pull it off in twenty seconds of car chase and ten seconds of yelling is all the more impressive.
