top ten things winona ryder has done in life

maybe she has a book club with d'angelo

hm i guess they like boomer classix
She also prefers to spend her time unearthing Philip Roths and John Updikes at her favourite San Francisco bookshop, City Lights, than waste time reading populist fiction such as Fifty Shades of Grey.

whatever she does, she does it while having very nice hair, as the photo above that article reveals

huh how come I've never seen her around town I wonder

i found myself wondering recently what winona ryder does with her time
what does she do all day?

I have this thought constantly abt Tom Verlaine FYI. How does he pass the hours. It bothers me.

She was a very vocal supporter of my boys the West Memphis Three, so for that I have to give her respect.

hilarious on drunk history

'The Ten' might be one of the top ten things Winona Ryder has done in life. Or at least one of the Ten things.

Does Roxy Carmichael have any kind of a cult following? Found it in a bargain bin a couple of months ago, threw it on tonight, and thought it was surprisingly, gratifyingly good. Reminded me of Demme in the '80s--one of those rare box-office concoctions where no one's made to look stupid. Even Francis Fisher, who comes closest to a one-dimensional villain, gets a nice moment right at the end.

i remember liking it a lot, though i can't remember much about it. probably time for a revisit.

Please post if you do. I'm not sure if I was just in the right frame of mind (I saw the Godard film in the afternoon--typically difficult and discursive--so I may have been extra-susceptible to something soft and light) and would like to hear from someone else. It's the kind of film that seems made for Ebert, and he didn't like it, although he did have good things to say about Ryder. I agree with him that the Roxy backstory could have been handled better. But I really was surprised by how much I liked almost every character (the would-be boyfriend, adoptive father, and guidance counselor especially--and Ryder, of course), loved the atmospheric score, and thought the requisite happy ending was fine.

a NYC retrospective!

The Age of Innocence is a strange omission.

it's not like even mean girls is going to have the longevity of heathers or those burton movies.

As her NY retro draws closer, has anyone seen 1969? A hippie bath with the writer of On Golden Pond as the auteur, i can't imagine how atrocious it must be, even w/ Bruce Dern and Joanna Cassidy in support.

Apparently there's a recent Olive Films DVD of Mermaids... didn't know it was well regarded enough for that.

btw The Age of Innocence appears in the series now, and in 35mm.

i saw 1969 when it came out and it was terrible iirc
i don't remember anything about it beyond it sucking

Mermaids has a modest cult, appropriately befitting a film featuring a family made up of Cher, Winona, and Christina Ricchi.

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.
