Olivia Munn Watch
Olivia Munn Watch
She looks fantastic in I Don't Know How She Did It.
I was very amused to see Jon Favreau direct her to raise the pitch of her voice, make it more feminine, pleasant, lilting, instead of her usual slightly-nasal, more-than-a-little-angry voice, because I've had the exact same complaint with her. Annoying voice. Not feminine. Angry. Not attractive. Apparently Jon Favreau had the same thought.

This brings a tear to my eye:
"Forty-two radio telescope dishes near Mount Shasta will again start listening for sounds of intelligent life in the universe this fall after donors -- including actress Jodie Foster -- came up with more than $200,000 ..."
When the real-world actress saves a radio telescope, it makes the movie that much more real and meaningful.
SETI Project: We're Listening Again, ET
I also liked this quote:
"There is something very quintessentially American about it," Shostak added. "There's something in our culture about being willing to try long-shot but high-stakes experiments in the name of exploration."

These are very satisfying. -0.00003 for adding some modern overdubbing / occasional sound effects, but this is a minor point.
