You Can't Stop What's Coming: Rinko Kikuchi Goes Bang Bang
Rinko burst through our ceremony hall just to wave
hi, she’s claiming one next season.
Damn it Rinko!
My Anticipated Turns:
Julianne Moore as Doctor’s Wife in Blindness
-
“I play seeing-eye woman to my husband, the doctor, and to others amidst the outbreak of ‘white blindness.’ ‘White Blindness?’ Is that what we’re calling my recent run of bad career choices? Fine. I've been having too much fun. This is my punishment. Why do you reward me so?”
Bette Midler as The Countess De Lave in The Women
-
“They gave me a part in a remake of George Cukor's 1939 film The Women. I, The Divine Miss M, play The Countess De Lave and unlike these hags I’m the only one with an official title, on-screen and off-screen.”
Rinko Kikuchi as Bang Bang in The Brothers Bloom
-
“…….”
Er, the marketing team of the movie would like to let the plot outline speak for Ms. Kikuchi as she is still in character:
The Brothers Bloom are the best con men in the world, swindling millionaires with complex scenarios of lust and intrigue. Now they've decided to take on one last job - showing a beautiful and eccentric heiress the time of her life with a romantic adventure that takes them around the world.
Keira Knightley as Georgiana, The Duchess of Devonshire in The Duchess
-
“I receive an upgrade in English social class and play the titular role. Do you see what I have to wear? How much talking do I have to do to convince you that this will not be a train-wreck? None! We use carriages.”
Miranda Richardson as The Duchess of Kent in The Young Victoria
-
“I am the mother of your Victoria at the cusp of graduating into a lady. They accuse me of being a manipulator. I kindly reply, ‘I know how to do that.’
Let me surprise you some more.”
(I am the tiny yet true voice of Miranda. I have experience in playing many, many royal roles.
A duchess? That’s actually a step down. No wonder I’ve been sublimated.)
Meryl Streep as Sister Aloysious in Doubt
-
“I take your favorite actress over 45’s lead role. I spare you from Philip Seymour Hoffman. I will leave you in moral dilemma.”
Julie Delpy as Countess Elizabeth Bathory in The Countess
-
“I am the story of Elizabeth Bathory.”
Anjelica Houston as Ida Mancini in Choke
-
“I play an unfit mother who has a habit of kidnapping her son from foster homes. It’s the only time we get for a government-sponsored family outing. Wait. Unfit? Mother? These casting directors have no imagination.”
Anna Paquin as Lisa Cohen in Margaret
-
“Make me understand.”
Ryan Philippe as Brandon King in Stop-Loss
-
“I participate in the cinematic personification of what America does not want to talk about.”
Heath Ledger as The Joker in The Dark Knight
-
“I play a character at his birth in the vain hopes of a resurrection. Get the poster?”
And That's That.
"Hmm." "Sigh." "......." Seriously?
