Pat Collins

Much like the war correspondent whose gravitas is enhanced by their own fearless decision to interview soldiers on the front line, so too is this local D.C.-area news reporter a hero in his own right to interview a kid who got suspended from school for wearing a banana costume and running down the sidelines at a football game, Pat Collins has donned a full-body bunch of grapes costume. Every now and then, we witness a tiny flicker that reminds us that true journalism isn t dead. It s just now wearing a grapes suit: Any relation to the long-forgotten Nickelodeon superhero interstitial Bananaman ? I ll only accept answers to that question from a piece of fruit in a reporter costume.

The trailer for HBO Films' Cinema Verit which will air on April 23rd. An American Family was a total departure from the television shows of the time when it aired in 1973, and brought public scrutiny to a family unprepared for the consequences. It put the Louds in the spotlight as the parents (Diane Lane, Tim Robbins) struggled with their marriage while raising their children. In particular, Pat was criticized for her support of her openly gay son Lance (Thomas Dekker) at a time when homosexuality was rarely represented on television. Cinema Verite gives a behind-the-scenes look at how the original PBS series was created by filmmaker Craig Gilbert (James Gandolfini). While he aimed to have an impact on culture, he also felt that the family s struggles were relatable to many Americans in a way that the Brady Bunch and the Partridge Family were not. The crew of Alan and Susan Raymond (Patrick Fugit, Shanna Collins) spent seven months filming the family in 1971 and were often at odds with Gilbert about what content was appropriate to film.
