Posted: 9/9/05 at 5:17pmI've just seen the previews to Cate Blanchett's new film "Little Fish"- she play's this emaciated, scabby heroin addict and looks totally amazing. As apparently she is. So not what I was expecting after her Hepburn turn- I've got to go and see it.

Posted: 9/9/05 at 5:18pmSo she IS extending enough on her follow thru.....
#2re: Cate Blanchett as a smack freak.
Posted: 9/9/05 at 5:19pmShe is SO frigging versatile...I was so surprised by her performance in Shipping News - (a horrible film, but she is awesome in it)...and by the horsey quality of her character in The Talented Mr. Ripley - she just changes like a chameleon!
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"

Posted: 9/9/05 at 5:25pmShe's very much like Madonna in that way. And David Bowie.

Posted: 9/9/05 at 5:25pmThe whole cast of "Little Fish" has been getting raves though- Martin Henderson is better than he's ever been and Hugo Weaving is apparently, well, "astonishing" was the word used. and Cate is nothing if not versatile.

Posted: 9/9/05 at 5:33pmElizabeth is indeed a wonderful movie. That was the first thing I'd seen her in and I was totally blown away. I also loved her in Veronica Guerin (sp?).

Posted: 9/9/05 at 5:35pmShe's one of, if not the, best working actresses in Hollywood today.

Posted: 9/9/05 at 5:39pmMy favorite Blanchett film is The Gift. It was that film that really made me notice her range and versatility. And I LOVED Shipping News. I thought it was a fascinating film.

Posted: 9/9/05 at 5:45pmThe Gift seems to be a very little known film - but we rented it and loved it. I don't know why I didn't like The Shipping News - but it was just so depressing and didn't seem to go anywhere - but the performances were all fine.

Posted: 9/9/05 at 6:45pmI liked her in that film where she played the Bonnie Tyler fan... what was it? Bruce Willis was in it.

Posted: 9/9/05 at 6:47pmDarling, you're NOBODY in this business until you play a drug addict. A lift of the martini glass to Ms. Blanchett!
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 9/9/05 at 9:10pmShe's brilliant. I'm one of the few who thought (no, knew) that she deserved the Oscar for The Aviatior.

Posted: 9/10/05 at 1:48amShe was easily the best thing about The Aviator- without her I might have dozed off half an hour in instead of holding on until the credits.

Posted: 9/10/05 at 1:57amThe Aviator was a snooze fest. Scorsese-shmorsese. I turned that film off when Cate disppeared.

Cate Blanchett is just genius.
The Aviator, on the other hand, is definitely NOT genius.
I LOVE watching her short in Coffee and Cigarettes :0)

Posted: 9/10/05 at 10:57amI just read one review of "Little Fish" that said Cate was too beautiful to play a heroin addict...she looks like she's down playing the looks to me in the shorts.
#18re: Cate Blanchett as a smack freak.
Posted: 9/10/05 at 11:00amHow can one be too beautiful to play a heroin addict?...only ugly people become addicted to heroin?
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space
