You doing these in your house now? Weird.
Anyway, love Paul. Great guy, southern brethren, best part of the movie, etc., etc.

Indeed Paul Schneider is awesome, from All the Real Girls to Jesse James. Can't wait to see him in this one.

I still haven't seen him in much, but he and Emily Blunt should both have been nominated for LARS AND THE REAL GIRL.

I think you mean Emily Mortimer, Yancy...and yes totally agreed what a great movie full of memorable characters.

mortimer was simply superb in 'transsiberian', which i just watched for the second time the other night. i hope she got some major props for that outstanding perf.
-----------------
spoilery:
there's a moment toward the end of the movie when jesse learns the truth about carlos's criminal past - having wrestled with doubt over whether her fear of him and her subsequent reaction/action was justified - and this look passes over her face that's one of the finest bits of acting i've seen. relief, vindication and acceptance all in one quiet, fleeting moment. mortimer's ability to express with subtlety exactly what jesse is thinking/how she's feeling without speaking a word is phenomenal.

Thanks, leah. That's what I get for making a quick drive-by post in here literally 5 minutes after watching the new Wolf Man trailer. Got my Emilys crossed.

oh, that was lota, yancy! (i've yet to see 'lars and the real girl', actually, i keep meaning to. i just had to chime in about mortimer in 'transsiberian' because i couldn't hold my water in praise of her excellence for a moment longer)

Leah don;t make me call you a buck eejit. WTF--get Lars and watch it. What a WONDERFUL WEIRD story full of naturally BEAUTIFUL people on the inside.
Mortimer was quite good in Dear Frankie as well. And our Gerry was a dashing working class lad.

Don't get those hopes up too high. Two hours of Gosling trapped in Character-Actor-Land and everybody else in the movie staring at him, wondering if he'll do anything.

oh. well, i guess i'll have to see for myself
(i wish creedy had his own movie where we just got to stare at him, wondering what he might do...i can think of some stuff for him to do)

FUCK IT,
YOU'LL NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVER
Convince me that a DP or a Wells or a Mendelson or a Roeper or a Leydon or Rocchi or a WHOEVER wouldn't be HAPPIER being Paul Schneider, or Viggo, or Murray, or KSTEW, or WHOEVER,
THAN MERELY INTERVIEWING THEM.
EVERY CRITIC/JOURNO EVER is a WANNABE STAR, the equivalent of a wannabe author who teaches AP English.
And that's cool. But ADMIT IT.
YOU WANT THE FAME, THE JUICE, THE CRED, THE REP, THE STAR POWER, THE FANS, THE VAG, THE COKE, THE MONEY, THE POWER.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS BULLSHIT.
