decent movie careers (the infamous Cruise-marrying notwithstanding)
I don't know. I've seen Katie Holmes in two grownup movies now, and she still hasn't convinced me she's not a waste of skin. Only about 1/3 of that could be attributed to the general Hollywood habit of casting women too young for the men they are foils for, and the rest is all Holmes looking like a helpless twidget.
That said, I'll gladly sit through a Katie Holmes movie if it means never seeing James Van Der Giant Head on a movie screen.
Katie was good in
The Ice Storm.
And I thought she was serviceable in
Batman Begins,
though easily the weakest of the main players.
I liked her in...oh, crap, that movie with Patricia Clarkson. Come on, Vonnie, help me out.
I liked her in Pieces of April.
I don't think she is a great actress, but I think there is something that makes people drawn to her. Except Nutty and my friend Maria, who appear to agree on the subject of Katie Holmes.
Yes, that one. Pieces of April.
Coincidentally, Wikipedia's front page article is on Ms. Holmes right now.
I thought she was passable in The Gift and Dawson's Creek, although perhaps mostly by contrast in the latter.
Ngah.
Reading McShep at school...definitely naughtier than a naughty thing. Right. Back to work.
Ahem.
Thank you, Matt!
OMG, this is the most fucked up thing ever. (And I mean that in the very best way.) Atlantis as prison colony: [link]
I started reading that, up through part 4 I think. I really like it, although at first I was put off becuase some of the characterizations are OOC, but they work for the story.
