Oh my gosh, you know Carole? 

B
Carole?

A
She’s a friend of Cindy’s, anyway. She’s in this relationship and he’s black and she’s white and they got married, like, three months after they met or whatever. Anyway they’ve both got kids from their previous marriages and one afternoon Patrick – that's the black guy – asks if she can watch the kids tonight… Three weeks later he’s back. She thought it was gonna be for, like, one afternoon.

B
Ohhh. He’s that type.
A
Oh yeah. But what can you do, you know? Anyway, she acts like she doesn’t mind.

B
God, and they were already married?

A
Yeah.

B
Too bad.

American History X. Edward Norton.

I was doing a bit of research on Rodney King for a little monologue I think I might want to do. I came across this and watched in awe. Need to see this film again.

What Movie Made You Cry?

Another Lynn Hirschberg number.

Featuring Annette Bening, James Franco, Natalie Portman, Michael Douglas, Mila Kunis, Mark Ruffalo, Helena Bonham Carter, Justin Timberlake, Dakota Fanning, Andrew Garfield, Nicole Kidman, Javier Bardem, Melissa Leo, Vincent Cassel, Julianne Moore, Robert Duvall, Jesse Eisenberg, Elle Fanning and Colin Firth.


Well this nearly made me cry.


Feast your eyes (and ears):

Dakota Fanning talks about learning to go to high school.

This is awesome. I love Lynn Hirschberg's sessions with actors. They're so real, the black&white is beautiful and there's no obtrusive 'WELCOME TO THE LYNN HIRSCHBERG SHOW' jingle before each interview. I'll post a few more in the days to come, but for now here's one of my favourites:

And here's a more recent one about college and how she feels about introducing herself to people who already know who she is:

14 Actors Acting.

So, this is not quite a facebook status of the day, but rather a post of the day. Gabi Pinto, a friend from varsity posted this link on someone else's wall and it caught my eye. I watched them several times over. Love the style - the music, the black and white, the detail, the stories, the actors, all of it. My favourites: Javier Bardem, Vincent Cassel, James Franco and Matt Damon.

Enjoy xxx
