pop roffles aside, The Age of Innocence

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:38 (seventeen years ago) link

I wd love to see La Lohan in a period drama. Aside from Mean Girls.

― David R., Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:39 (seventeen years ago) link

that movie is bad, but she was perfectly cast.

― horseshoe, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I would eat a whole bag of "pop roffles" by myself

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:39 (seventeen years ago) link

(Ryder in Age of Innocence, I mean. Mean Girls is brilliant.

More discussion of Corky in Night on Earth, please.

Most awkward "you are not that character" performance in movie history.

― nabisco, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:42 (seventeen years ago) link

no, that movie sucked

I love Winona Ryder.

― Curt1s Stephens, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I like that movie, I just don't see how anyone expected that character to be remotely workable, particularly as played by Winona Ryder.

― nabisco, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I mean who casts Winona Ryder as a MECHANIC?

― nabisco, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Asia Argento.

― David R., Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Jeremy Toback.

I gotta stop killing threds.

i didn't like roxy carmichael - was another one of those films where the interesting outsider got the sandpaper treatment.

16. being godchild to timothy leary.

Tara Reid as ... scientist
Winona Ryder as ... mechanic
Jeffrey Tambor as ... Suge Knight's bodyguard
and Jake Busey as ... President Thompson

― nabisco, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:51 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm not really sure what your problem is but those all sound ok to me.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:52 (seventeen years ago) link

And middle-named after Aldous Huxley's wife! Her given name is pretty hardcore with the assonance: Winona Laura Horowitz. It's like a tongue twister. Winona Laura Horowitz.

― nabisco, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Wow. Is she related to James Salter?

― James Redd and the Blecchs, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:56 (seventeen years ago) link

ok dude seriously? in what way is that a tongue twister? it's pretty easy to say.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:57 (seventeen years ago) link

um, i think he might have been projecting a little

― James Redd and the Blecchs, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:57 (seventeen years ago) link

maybe less a tongue twister than a poem! the assonance, the rhythm -- it's a tripling up of internal O + schwa, and in perfect iambic tetrameter, if you say it fast enough:

winOnA lOrA hOrAwitz!

the stress drops on the O every time, and then immediately comes down to the schwa!

― nabisco, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:02 (seventeen years ago) link

her name is practically "oh-ah oh-ah oh-ah!"

― nabisco, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Being too ill to be in Godfather 3, thusly causing the role to be played by a cross-eyed dead dwarf on stilts with the skill and conviction of a fax machine.

Quite an uncanny replacement actually!!!

― JTS, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:03 (seventeen years ago) link

ok fuck you

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:03 (seventeen years ago) link

cool monochrome cover of THE FACE (1993?)

― pisces, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:06 (seventeen years ago) link

maybe my response was too harsh

can't wait to see their booth at E3, or at least to see chaki's reaction to it

― kingfish, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:20 (seventeen years ago) link

oh hey now we have the fantastic four!!

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:22 (seventeen years ago) link

I think we found our captain.

― David R., Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:23 (seventeen years ago) link

says the silver surfer

― kingfish, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:24 (seventeen years ago) link

i have no idea what that is even supposed to mean but if you are calling me the silver surfer i am totally ok with it, just fyi

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:26 (seventeen years ago) link

I am so not joking about the name!

I think horseshoe's right about her voice, by the way: the timbre and cadence of it were perfect for a kind of unformed teenage quality, but then then just ... never really changed. A lot of her acting tics are kind of the same, these awkward teenagey uncomfortable moves that seem increasingly odd in stuff she's done recently.

Hopefully someone will cast her for some kind of smaller-movie her-age character that would actually benefit from that quality. Like I could see her using those traits really well in a Nicole Holofcener film!

― nabisco, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I guess we know who Mr. Fantastic is.

― David R., Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Off-stage, Miller is known for his affable personality, love of comfortable slacks and kind nature.

also, nickalicious otm - i think maybe the only good things she's ever done were in heathers. though i suppose she did help introduce the hawke to the world.

― gabbneb, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:47 (seventeen years ago) link

PUMP UP THE VOLUME.

― G00blar, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:49 (seventeen years ago) link

she wasn't in pump up the volume, maybe you are confusing her with christian slater.

― Yerac, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Uh.

Um, yeah, reality never squares with my memories.

Also the Olive Films release happened simply because MGM is farming out 95% of their catalogue DVD/BluRay reissues to 3rd party boutique labels.

for whatever reason i have rewatched mermaids twice in the last couple of years. it's not bad, winona and cher's performances are the centre of the film and they're pretty good. bob hoskins' american accent is terrible and there's a couple of extremely o_0 elements

My local theatre is doing a mini Winona-fest: Heathers, Edward Scissorhands, Reality Bites, and Dracula. I saw Scissorhands last night - most enjoyed the dinner table scenes and any time Alan Arkin has a line.
