I like the way it ends with her in the movie.<br /><br />Re: "Me and Orson Welles" - I've never seen Zac Efron in anything, but in the "Welles" stills, he looks like Alain Delon. A totally pretty boy who turned out to be a good actor.<br /><br />I liked the director's roundtable, but I didn't see Campion there either. SHOULD have been. And was Peter Jackson sitting on the shortest chair there, or is he actually the size of a hobbit?adrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-37588177590096061812009-12-18T17:25:16.858-05:002009-12-18T17:25:16.858-05:00It's kind of wierd that Nancy Meyers would the...It's kind of wierd that Nancy Meyers would the most powerful woman in Hollywood.

Is that some Freudian slippy wishful thinking on your part?<br /><br />I am SO excited for the Cameron/Bigelow faceoff. I just walked out of <em>Avatar</em> and told my friend I thought it was fun that Cameron and his ex-wife would be fighting over the oscar this year. His response was, "What? Cameron's WINNING the oscar." But I begged to differ, considering Bigelow's won EVERYTHING so far. If <em>Avatar</em> sweeps the globes (possible), I will reconsider.<br /><br />But ooooooh it's gonna get interesting...<br /><br />And <em>Avatar</em> was AMAZING!!!adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.com
