According to that list, Keira Knightley is the only female movie star.
I could live with that, and I don't even have anything in particular against Julia.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At least Orli has played more than one character.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can go as far as agreeing he's played characters with different hair ...
Okay, I kid because I love. I just hope his agent is the highest paid in the industry. He's fucking genius.

According to that list, Keira Knightley is the only female movie star.
Yes, but so far she's been baggage in other people's movies (A KNIGHT'S TALE, KING ARTHUR) and franchise movies (PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN).

She wasn't in A Knight's Tale, and I bet Bend It Like Beckham made a huge relative profit.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Seriously. Bloom the only Rings person at the Oscars (presenting, no less!)? Incredible.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Also Love, Actually (which I wouldn't call another person's movie, exactly, but it definitely wasn't hers). We'll have to see how well she does with Pride and Prejudice.
[edit:
Bend It Like Beckham
Ah! Forgot about that one.]

I am sooo embarrassed. That was Shannyn Sossamon.
However, I shall hastily rebound to claim that any actor who can be mistaken for another actor is not a Star. Of course, this wipes out Kirsten Dunst and Reese Witherspoon, but I'm good with that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Keira Knightly is a hot property, but not a star. Cruise can get a movie made just by agreeing to be in it. That's a true star (to the Studios--not to me. I think he's blah). They greenlight his pictures because people will go to a "Tom Cruise" movie here and in Europe and Latin America. He is the deciding factor--not the plot or genre or director.
