On Christina: "In high school, she was a goth kid with purple hair and black lipstick who dreamed of being a rock star."
I want to see that picture.
She's not just a blob of energy, she's also a 14-year-old hormone bomb.

Hec, I didn't know about the Piper Laurie movie
You haven't seen The Hustler with Paul Newman?! Bunk, you're just depriving yourself.

No, I haven't. Don't know how I missed it, but... It will be weird to me to see Piper Laurie as young woman, impaired or otherwise just because in later life she's built up such a string of performances as everyone's unapproachable mother...Marlee Matlin, Holly Hunter, and a few others besides iirc. (And wasn't she the mom in "Carrie," too?) And I also want to see Goth! Christina Hendricks. Although I'd probably have to give up being straight. Not that I get much practice at that anyway, mind you, so it's not a big loss to the Men of America, afaik.

Not just a young woman, but a sexy, fucked up, brilliant kind, depressed woman.
She was quite the pin up girl in her day.
She's so great in The Hustler.
After I saw that movie I aspired to have a relationship as fucked up, sexy, desperate and filled with solace as hers is with Fast Eddie Felson.

I don't know I missed that one. I'm a Newman fan and everything. But I'll get to it soon. And Ms. Laurie seems to be a fine actress, even with all the scary parents in her resume.(I wonder if she and Kurtwood Smith ever messed up a kid together. Fictionally, at least.) I won't ask if you succeeded till I see the movie...might be more than I wanted to know.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
(Lewis noted, btw, that he thinks that throwaway about the mom in the campaign image looking familiar is something that's going to come back again.)
She's totally BVM. [link]

God, I LOVED Don/Dick with Anna. She's the only person who knows his whole story, so it makes sense it would be the only place he could relax, of course.

“Not dead yet!”
Yep-- totally BVM. Supplication and all.

Oh, I meant to have pasted this one instead:
Twoppers are calling the Popsicle mom something like "Our Lady of the Popsicle."
Same gist, tho.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Wow. SHOW.

I don't think they ever did, but I wish they had. That's genius casting.

Yep - that was her big comeback role. She's also been the unapproachable mother of Aria Argento (in her first lead role, though it's a lesser Dario A. movie).
And, of course, Twin Peaks!
