I know, I know.

There are many movies I need to see. I've never even seen The Godfather!

I've never seen it all the way through in one sitting. I'm still reeling from Ivan's comment about Meryl.

Hey!

Actr, I have an update about the shooting. Spoke to my brother-in-law (the cop) Thursday night and he said some guy emptied 9 rounds into a man and his pregnant girlfriend -- over a motorcycle. They haven't caught the guy yet, but the two victims are in critical condition. I don't know them (hell, I don't know most of my neighbors), but their house is right behind my apartment. My bedroom window overlooks the crime scene.

Stagey, that sounds so scary. Glad to know you're okay.

Posted: 7/27/07 at 2:09am

Oh God! Definitely glad you're okay! Take care of yourself in that neighborhood. It sounds like bad news.

I really hope the victims pull through. A pregnant woman? God, people are so f***ing stupid.

Thanks, wizard/Actr. Everyone's always telling me to be careful (my older sister hates coming into my neighborhood), but nothing ever happens to me. *knocks wood*

BTW: Meryl Streep is a goddess! I started to watch IRONWEED tonight. Last week I rewatched THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY. I need my Meryl fix.

I watching her scene without the makeup right now. It's brilliant.

[StageManager2]

Posted: 7/27/07 at 2:18am

I think that's the scene that garnered her the nomination. wizard, be on the lookout for a revealing mistake at the end. I think it may even be the last shot.

What would you say is your favorite Meryl performance? Mine is a tie between SOPHIE'S CHOICE and THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY.

That scene is played flawlessly.

I've never actually seen all of Sophie's Choice which is widely considered to be her greatest performance... **hides**

[wonderfulwizard11]

Posted: 7/27/07 at 2:21am

This may be blasphemy, but I've never seen Meryl is a film before this *hides*

And I will say I think Anne Hathaway is quite underrated in this film.

[TheActr97J]

Posted: 7/27/07 at 2:25am

I thought it was a very average film that was elevated by Meryl's performance.

[StageManager2]

Posted: 7/27/07 at 2:27am

Not just her greatest, Actr, but ONE of THE greatest film performances of all time. Meryl had to adopt a Polish accent (when speaking in English) and learned her Polish/German lines phonetically.

wizard, she should strike you dead for that admission! Shall I make a few recommendations?

Will do!

Meryl is god. I can't pick a best persormance! If pressed, i'd say A Cry In The Dark, Sophie's Choice, Out Of Africa.

Love the Ballad of A McD Deet. Classic.

Wiz, we need to work on your netflix que my friend. There are some classic films you really should see! I'm gonna make a list and PM it to you.

Oh, and HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Posted: 7/27/07 at 6:38am

I forgot about A CRY IN THE DARK (called EVIL ANGELS elsewhere). That's a good one, too. Get on it, wizard!

Posted: 7/27/07 at 7:16am

Good Morning Avs!

Thanks, Taz.

Meryl is fabulous, and I second her performance in PRIME as one of her funniest. Another (underated) gem is HEARTBURN.

Hope everyone is ok! I'm just dropping by for a quick visit, the internet is a bomb here. We're a day away from Southapmton now, and then I'll be in London for next week.
