'The Girl in Question'
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.
I lurve One,Two,Three and I couldn't even tell you why. Except, maybe, for an unwholesome, life-long crush on Jimmy Cagney.
Sleeping in public has never actually happened to me. Not even in a darkened theatre...so when I start to feel drowsy, it's a sign.
In 1995/96, during the start of my last major depressive episode, I used to fall asleep whenever I tried to watch a movie. So, I've seen the first and last ten minutes of Get Shorty, and a bunch of other stuff.

Thread-ending talk...hmmm...Ok. How about this? In the past few months, I've watched several Katherine Hepburn movies. I've liked her for a long time, but increasingly so.
My question is this: De we have any actresses who trade in the "strong woman" role, in comedies? or even things other than Action movies and Touching Dramas?
Let's talk gay cowboys in love.

The only one coming to mind is Diane Keaton.
Brigitte Nielsen.
Or do you mean intentional comedies?
Diane Keaton.
Yeah, but she's, you know, old. It seems like all the comediennes in their 30s are ditzes, or, at least, that's their schtik
Susan Sarandon has played strong all through her career, but it's not her raison d'etre.
I guess Sigourney Weaver is too much of an action hero to count. Although, outside of the Alien movies, has she done another action character?
eta Holly Hunter? Frances Macdormand?
Actually, I'm hard pressed to think of a Coen brothers heroine who wasn't tough in some way.
...see them tumbling down...
