I don't think there are any anymore confused

Denzel went wrong w/ that futuristic movie where he wore some kinda blue leather suit hmm

I walked out on Kevin Spacey in that Pay It Forward shit whofarted

Sean Penn did that Interpreter boredom neutral

DeNiro can kiss it w/ the Meet the Parents franchise shake



I guess Angela Bassett hasn't offended me w/ any of her choices lol Jeffrey Wright also, but honestly I don't know his body of work as well as I should. I'll watch them in anything UNTIL they steer me wrong razz I guess Pacino & Ellen Barkin too, they have me actually wanting to see Oceans 13 eek


I was thinking the same thing about Ocean's 13.

Ellen Barkin, that's ma grrrl. She makes me look forward to getting older, she's in such great shape. It's time for her to stay away from the surgeon's knife facewise, though. I was watching her in an indie film ('Palindrome', I think), and girlfriend was looking CRAZY, she got that 'stretched' look now shake

You know what movie of hers I love that hardly anybody watched? Sunshine State. I loved that movie.

Cate Blanchett
Helen Mirren
Clive Owen
Daniel Craig
Ryan Gosling

Damn, I didn't see it either boxed

It's an ensemble cast (Bassett, Edie Falco, Timothy Hutton, Mary Steenburgen, Miguel Ferrer, Bill Cobbs and others), and a lot of times - outside of an Altman film - a big cast like that is wasted. Not in this film. John Sayles directed it, and he's done some films I really like: Passion Fish, Casa de los Babys, Brother from Another Planet, Lone Star.

And those from the bygone era of Hollywood who were always good:

Jimmy Cagney
Barbara Stanwyck (maybe my top choice...everybody should watch The Lady Eve, my favorite comedy!)
Rosalind Russell
Jane Wyman
Bette Davis
Henry Fonda (40s and 50s era)
Rock Hudson (just cuz he was hot...couldn't act for sheet)


There's a Barbara Stanwyck retrospective going on in my town. It's lasting a couple of months. What are your favorite Barbara Stanwyck movies?

besides Lady Eve, that is. I'll go see that one.



The Strange Love of Martha Ivers
Christmas in Connecticut
Sorry, Wrong Number
Double Indemnity
Stella Dallas
There's Always Tomorrow
(not a great film, but it's Sirk and I am a slave to his melodramas lol same applies to All I Desire)
Ball of Fire
Baby Face
Clash by Night

Girl, if you could see her in Palindrome, you'd just be like 'WHY, ELLEN? WHY?'

She's at that point where she had just OOOONE procedure too many. I blame it on the fact that she was with Lou Perlman...something about women when they fall into that whole 'I'm married to a New York mogul so I'm playing the ladies-who-lunch-high society' game...they get caught up in a new version of 'keeping up with the Joneses' & start taking that surgery thing a little too far. I just hope the procedures stop here because one more face nip and she's going to start looking 'Joan River-ish' That's still my girl, though. And her body is BANGIN' (!)...she inspires me to drag my lazy ass to the gym to hit the treadmill lol

I may add Gael García Bernal to my list too. He usually does good stuff.


Did you see Science of Sleep? It was brilliant. cool


Yes I did. It was better than I expected, but I saw too much of myself in the main character which I found disturbing considering how the movie ended.

I like Charlotte Gainsbourg. Her album 5:55 is fantastic.

I saw Sunshine State in the theater and thought it was fine, but wondered what the whole point was really. Perhaps I was expecting a bigger denouement.

Helen Mirren--one day I'll get around to watching Caligula.

totally agree. Even worse is casting famous people to do voice work. Often they're only passable as movie stars because of their looks. Julia Roberts & Cameron Diaz are not what I'd consider "great voices."


I know, it's so stupid. Basically in this star worshipping culture, a film cannot get made or financed unless tied to an a-list or b-list actor. Actors have so much power in the industry now, they are producing their own and others' movies, as they are now some of the few who can afford it. They are in the power to decide what gets made and what doesn't. Basically the nation's cultural output depends on what actors want to do. It's all so meaningless.


I was watching recently the extras on the DVD of Days Of Glory (Indigènes) and the director said ten years ago, the movie couldn't have been made because there weren't any big name French-Arab actors at the time to justify its budget. Today, however with Jamel Debbouze being such a big French star, once he signed on to play one of the soldiers and helped finance the film, everything else fell into place. So sometimes actors having a lot of power can be a good thing.

No matter how awful?

Mine:

Cate Blanchett
Johnny Depp
Isabelle Huppert
Scarlett Johansson
Samantha Morton
Christina Ricci
Kristin Scott Thomas


The Man Who Cried had the trifecta of Christina Ricci, Johnny Depp and Cate Blanchett and it was three times as bad. sad



ooooh, good choices! i'd take all of these, except maybe christina ricci. then i'd add some of these old skoolers to my list:

meryl streep
goldie hawn
sally field
al pacino
dustin hoffman

then my 'singer/actresses' streisand and ross...


I have an unhealthy fascination with Christina Ricci. I think her forehead has hypnotized me.

Lone Star is the only one of those I've seen. Any film that gives incest a thumbs up is okay with me. razz
