So she wins that for me, even though I think Catherine Keener was similarly revelatory in Being John Malkovich.<BR/><BR/>and, of course, she wins for Safe. which is easily one of the best performances I've ever seen. I gotta agree with nick davis - the best American performance of the 90s.... flawless.<BR/><BR/>boogie nights? perfection. no one even comes close (for that year or for the decade).<BR/><BR/>far from heaven (she's better in safe but that's like saying the monet's impressionest works are more impressive than the great wall of china... haha both hugely impressive feats of artistry serving totally different artistic ends)<BR/><BR/>And, FYI, I've seen all (and I do mean ALL) of Juli's competition in these given years, even the very, very dark horses and she still comes out on top. Maybe I'm just unreasonably obsessed. <BR/><BR/>I prefer to think she's the greatest living actress... sue me.<BR/><BR/>I also would've nominated her for The End of the Affair, The Hours, and Vanya on 42nd Street (for which she would have won yet another Oscar from me if not for Juliette Lewis's magnificent performance in Natural Born Killers).<BR/><BR/>Honestly, I think I need counselling. If these next projects don't redeem Juli (in a critical sense) I will start going to therapy. <BR/><BR/>A life without a successful Julianne Moore is no life at all, says me. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Also, I'm very drunk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1140936356655841322006-02-26T01:45:00.000-05:002006-02-26T01:45:00.000-05:00Scary stuff, really.Anonymous #1!

I mean, look at her work between 1999 and 2002 - she went from an great year (The End of the Affair, Cookie's Fortune, Magnolia, An Ideal Husband, and A Map of the World)to a slump (Hannibal, Evolution, and The Shipping News), ultimately having another great year (Far from Heaven, The Hours, World Traveler). She's got some exciting projects coming up, so I'm pretty optimistic for her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1140905260776864202006-02-25T17:07:00.000-05:002006-02-25T17:07:00.000-05:00Oh, come on guys.

Jackson.<BR/><BR/>Jackson recently revealed that he he signed onto his new magnum opus, "Snakes On A Plane" without having read a script.<BR/><BR/>Why?<BR/><BR/>Because Jackson thought the title "Snakes On A Plane" sounded "cool".<BR/><BR/>This is the sort of company Julianne Moore is keeping.

She is now a New York Resident. This is her new career.

Although Juli herself does look unbelievably beautiful, which make the bad design and anonymity of the magazine even more embarrassing.<BR/><BR/>Something is seriously up with Juli. It's bad. It's very bad. What a weird answer about why she picks roles. I personally think the stuff about "wishing to have more control over getting projects you like" stuff is a diplomatic way of saying "I wish there were more projects I could get paid a lot for that aren't total crap" or "I wish that when I signed onto oscarbait dramas, they wouldn't switch the director on me and turn them into crap" etc.<BR/><BR/>God.adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.com
