[sisyphusshrugged]

from the New Yorker

The trick of the film is that the lovers, however meshed in desire, are divorced by the cinema screen, which is divided throughout into equal halves. The ideal viewer, of course, would be Jean-Paul Sartre, the human flatfish, whose independently swivelling eyes allowed him to focus on Simone de Beauvoir and a fifteen-year-old schoolgirl walking in opposite directions down the Boulevard Saint-Germain.

Still don't want to see the movie, because, well, Helena Bonham Carter is pretty much the most tedious actress on earth.

Whattya hear about Little Miss Sunshine?

Well, she was great in Fight Club.

Doesn't matter. She's the Adrienne Barbeau of Merchant Ivory and she makes my teeth hurt.

The ads alongside my gmail box seem to have a few recommendations for that, mostly concerned with teeth bleaching.

I think that is the most perfect description of an actress ever.

I loved Adrienne Barbeau in Escape from New York.

I suppose the next Harry Potter film will be off your list then?

Though I must say, I can't think of anyone else who would be suitable to play Bellatrix.

No, I think she'll do frivolous, evil, spoiled and unpleasant beautifully. I look forward to loathing her viscerally.
