Angel ,'Chosen'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Does anyone else totally identify with this comic?
Nope. Though I will note that it is much more common for people to sit through the credits in LA than in any other place I've lived. Largely because people tend to know the gaffer or makeup or special effects people buried deep in the credits. They'll be rolling along for five minutes and then some sound tech's name appears and all his friends applaud.
Scarlett Johannsen turned twenty today.
Twenty?!
And in other news:
Actor William H. Macy is turning his back on critically-acclaimed, independent films to star in big-budget blockbusters. The Fargo star is proud of his filmography, but now he's a father to Sophia, four, and Georgia, two, he claims it's time he started bringing home the big bucks. Macy, who recently tasted big-budget film-making with his role in Jurassic Park III, says, "My a** is for sale, and I want to do big movies that pay a lot of money to shoot in LA. Starting right now: no more art. Recently, I realized I've got all these artistic frequent-flier miles and so, I'm cashing them in. I want to do big, fat movies. I've got two little kids. It changes when you have kids. You quickly do an inventory and wonder if you should start apologizing in advance. But my daughter just tore the seat out of a chair - so that's worth one movie right there. I'll just remind her of that when she's old enough."
Scarlett Johannsen turned twenty today.
Excuse me while I scrub my eyeballs.
I liked but didn't love Lost in Translation and Eternal Sunshine. I want to see Finding Neverland , Kinsey, Bad Education, and Spongebob.
She'd better watch it.
In a Sept. 7 interview in The New York Times, the newly minted, 18-year-old It Girl, star of Lost in Translation and the forthcoming Girl with a Pearl Earring -- in both films, she plays muse to a man in midlife crisis -- blithely declaimed that "for older women, death happens inside" and that older men need a "young, fertile, fruitful woman" to "help them across that bridge."
Menopausal women won't do, insisted Johansson, who just graduated this past spring from NYC's Professional Children's School. Being an older man, she analogized, is like "you just got evicted. And you're with someone who's going to be evicted. All you can do is complain how bad it is. . . .
"But then somebody comes along who's not being evicted, who says . . . 'Come stay with me.' "
Every year is one tick closer to the dumpster.
Boy, is she going to have a fun ol' time turning thirty.
Heh. She's young and smart and talented and full of shit. What a crapload of faux sophistication.
Oh Scarlett. Let's hope someone close to her saved this gem for her 40th birthday.
blithely declaimed that "for older women, death happens inside" and that older men need a "young, fertile, fruitful woman" to "help them across that bridge."
If she talks that way around a post-menopausal woman having a hot flash, death's going to happen outside to her.
Oh! I watched Suicide Club over the weekend. A world of ew! I did not like. Loved Battle Royale, though.
