_I think I like Kate Winslet better as Mildred Pierce than Joan Crawford.Although Kate had more room to work than Joan, so maybe that's not fair.Todd Haynes is right...Melissa Leo made an awesome Eve Arden. If I ever play "Time Machine" with zmayhem" again, she'd be my '40-50's Kay Howard, too. I could picture Ms. Arden wearing a tie and playing cards ( Read more... )

-head cold mostly cleared up
-Wordslinger did a lovely job with novel beta, but now I have to write it, I put money in.
Should have listened to sarken and not rented "Charlie Wilson's War"--was kind of a waste of time, even for me, with plenty to waste. Julia Roberts should never laugh in public again.

So I'm reading the new BUST and getting all excited because there's an article about how Vera Farmiga is directing her own movies and thinking about getting women parts that aren't just gir lfriends and all that stuff.

Favorite producer quote "When we wanted Krumholtz, it pushed us in an ethnically specific direction...the network kept telling us it did not believe [the original actors and Krumholtz] were related." It's true...the ( Read more... )

I'm too fuckin' shallow. Because Keith is back on Big Orange, and engaging about various media controversies(Check the Rec List...follow the trail of swooning geek womenfolk) including one involving some newsbabe named, I shit you not, "Ashleigh" and whether there was any truth to the thought she was forced out. Keith says "Shit happens..."(He used ( Read more... )

to play "If I had a time machine, I'd hit that," with Serpico I don't know why that makes me feel better, but it does, even though I probably am one of the few to consider that a mom-daughter bonding thing.
The current Pacino makes me sad however.Also, I suspect the staff of Jezebel of reading this journal. Hi, ladies.
Sea of Love is crazy-hot ( Read more... )

but it was very much Guy-Ritchie-Does-Sherlock Holmes and not so much with the canon-having, was it?(I say that as a Ritchie fan...I'm not bitching, but it was as if there was some Film Director's Holmes Challenge and this was Guy's entry.
