Who was the blonde mother? I wish they'd gotten someone completely off the wall, like Meryl Streep. (Who might well not have wanted to do it, she's all dignified and shit, but I can dream!)
One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!

Because books.
That's Patricia Clarkson, flea.
I have a crush on adult!JT. It's very disconcerting.
Not based on that outfit, though.

I guess I don't get out much; I don't think I've ever seen anything she's been in.
I too have a minor crush on JT. It's his happy self-mockery that makes the crush possible.

Yes, this. I had no thought one way or the other on teen!JT, but adult!JT is talented AND makes fun of himself. And clearly has fun being on SNL.
Apparently Patricia Clarkson has been is 70 billion movies and teevee shows that I have never seen. Although she looks like Frances whatsherface from Six Feet Under and a little bit like the actress who played Spike's mom.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Patricia Clarkson is definitely MILFy.
Sophia, you didn't see Far From Heaven?
Also, she played a recurring character on Six Feet Under.

I haven't seen Far From Heaven, although it look like my kind of movie, and I might now that I have looked it up!
I wish my mom had the internet, because she has a crush on JT, too, and I wish I could send her the video!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I had a phase where it seemed like everything I saw had Patricia Clarkson. Love her!
I'm watching the SNL now on tape. Good times. Gotta love the JT.
Happy Mother's Day, mothers!

Far From Heaven was GREAT, although I think I got the most out of it, because I saw it in a preview screening, with no idea what it was really about.

The Station Agent is another great movie she's been in. She's also had a lot of wife roles in bigger movies...so she definitely has a "it's that guy" about her.
How is my head still full of snot?
I guess it's time to get dressed and go buy a new switch for my bedroom. It seems that, except for the bathroom and the basement, all the lights in my house are on the same circuit. Some of the plugs are on the same circuit too. That seems like a lot of load.

It's definitely a Sophia movie. I'd recommend it to you on just the costuming, but I think you'll love the story and the performances.
Now that I think about it, it covers a lot of territory similar to Mad Men, though all filtered through Douglas Sirk's technicolor melodramas.
