I think she is one of the most beautiful people ever to walk the face of the earth, and I hear she is a lovely woman, but I find her a terribly limited actress.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just did a Google to clarify.
I think she's not good looking. Elfin, but without the good bits.
I liked her in The Deep End, didn't hate her in Orlando. Mostly I don't remember she exists.

I tend to avoid movies she's in because I assume they will be pretentious pieces of crap.
So, I am lucky I've only ever seen one movie she's been in, plus a lot of still photos. Good to know!

Well, I'm just basing it on two...so I'm probably not being the master of rational thought.

And I'm being a liar at that because I just looked her up on IMDB, and I've seen her in Vanilla Sky, Adaptation, and Wittgenstein too. But I don't remember her in any of those.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
She was in Adaptation? Huh. I liked her in The Deep End, which had the added bonus of Goran Visjnic.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Hmm. I've seen three of her movies-- Orlando, The Deep End, and Adaptation. I liked all three movies and *loved* her in The Deep End. I thought she was marvellous, playing against type.
I should rent Young Adam.

I have no feelings one way or the other about Tilda Swinton.
I watched The Village yesterday, and it took me a little while to get into it, but I ended up quite liking it. I think it helped that I knew the "twist" going in, so I didn't feel cheated by it. But I thought it was nicely atmospheric and creepy, and Bryce Dallas Howard was luminous--she reminded me more than a little of Rebecca Lizard, actually.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I went and saw The Wedding Date this afternoon. While it did have the feared Hooker Falls in Love with a Client over one Weekend and Gives up the Biz resolution, it was at least refreshing in that it didn't have the expected comedy of errors where the big secret is constantly almost discovered, instead opting for largely grownup shenanigans. And I thought it was a nice touch that the protagonist was more broken up over betrayal by her sister than by her ex .
Also, they placated my American Gigolo unlikelihood fears by having Mulroney's character make that "in my experience men who are in love don't want a prostitute" comment .

I'm glad it wasn't as bad as you feared, Matt. I liked it. I didn't think it was so amazing it was going to change the face of romantic comedies or anything, but I thought it was rather well done, all in all. And better than I expected it to be.
