Giles ,'Beneath You'
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 get hives watching RZ.
Pretty much ditto.
Huh, I was just thinking yesterday about how RZ ruined that movie.
Wasn't thinking about it yesterday, but yes. This. Although I absolutely loved Sarah Paulson as her best friend.
I will say, however, she really was a perfect choice as Bridget. She captured all the painful insecurity of the character beautifully. And was the least squinty-eyed that I've ever seen her.

That's the thing: the whole film was perfectly cast, except for this huge gaping hole in the center.

Yeah, it really was, wasn't it?
Who would you have put in the role, then?
Kate Hudson strikes me as a better choice, though we really don't have the 21st century Doris Day analogue that the story cries out for.
Maybe Tina Fey?
Steph, you should have seen Down with Love in the company I did: with 3 of my cousins that also work in the publishing industry. When RZ rolled out that explanation about writing, publishing, and becoming a celebrity due to a bestseller in about 3 weeks' time we all fell out laughing.

She's got the precious factor, but she makes my teeth itch, though.

Thank God I took the whole thing for the absolute parody it was supposed to be because otherwise there might have been spluttering and cursing galore. I'm trying to think of what movie it was, a fairly recent one, where the lead female was an author and she was on this big book tour and I was just snorting my way through the whole thing, in terms of how it was described.

I think my comment was something like, "Not even Anne Rice manages that fast of a turnaround, and she doesn't use editors."

Something similar happened in Cheaper by the Dozen. Completely absurd shorthand, which usually doesn't bother me, but in that instance I growled.
K-Bug dragged me to see Twilight last night. That movie has been out for over a month and the theater was PACKED. PACKED!!! WTF?
I can see why they are going with a different director for the next movie. I mean, I know the raw material had its own issues, but man...the direction SUCKED.
Cheaper by the Dozen.
That was it!
