Things that Sofia Coppola and Quentin Tarantino have in common: A love for Wong Kar-Wai. Best Screenplay Oscars. Obsessions with former TV stars. Distinct personas (maniac/spotlight hog; shy girl). Gothamist can't wait for the Conan If They Mated...and if we missed it - damn it all. But go to If They Mated and laugh at the archives while loving Photoshop.
Gawker on the Sofia-n-Quentin matchup: It's Officialish and The Plot Thickens. And we still love Lost in Translation.
