Don't do it.<BR/> <BR/>I'm all for giving an actor another chance, but this story was so hackneyed, it made last week's rom-com script "Last Chance Harvey" look fresh. At least, in Harvey, they expressed their feelings in private (and had two fabulous leads). <BR/><BR/>I NEVER want to see the leads kissing in a crowd and everybody claps, EVER again. Harry Connick Jr is so appealing, but it seems like every movie he makes is just crud.<BR/><BR/>This movie made me want to watch "Down With Love" again, for something with Renee and a bit of style.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-25346272113097855842009-01-30T22:15:00.000-05:002009-01-30T22:15:00.000-05:00Don't do it!

"New In Town" may be great, but I don't like what the studio seems to think my demographic wants based on the commercials. I haven't seen 27 Dresses, so I prob. misjudged it based on the ads. <BR/><BR/>The more people who go to movies, every movie, any movie, the better as far as I'm concerned.

Not that I'm saying that her reaction wasn't way over the top, but I've had times I've wanted to yell at people for little things when it gets to feel like everybody is lacking in basic respect, and it does make you crazy sometimes. So I'm not saying that her reaction was warranted, but I want to mitigate the dismissal of her as 'nuts' because of it.

It was 9AM, and I took it upon myself to add a photo of Renee Zellwegger to my photo collection. I found her at a Starbucks and talked to her for a bit. She was trying to keep me quiet, so that I wouldn't reveal her identity. As she was leaving I snapped a picture of her. Due to the city I live in being a constantly frozen tundra, we don't attract many celebrities, so I wasn't about to let this one slip away. Anyhow, she lost her mind. I crossed the street, and suddenly heard my name being shouted from the other side of Broadway. Startled, I turned around and saw a rabid, mouth-foaming Renee Zellwegger leaning over the curb on the other side of the street, cursing my existence. It was a tad startling, seeing an Oscar winning actress screaming my name with such extreme passion and hatred. I figured I was probably one of about 3 people in the entire province that would have recognized her... or even cared. It was a legendary scenario for me to witness and to be a part of.<BR/>Anyhow... I guess my point is... she's nuts. And I'm "mad" at her for being such a wacko. And this simply can not be put into one of those "how would you like it" scenarios. I assure you ,I was probably one of about 6 people in Winnipeg to have taken a photograph of Ms. Zellwegger. She's just nuts. So I'm happy her movie is getting critically annihilated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-18121992515824424182009-01-30T16:01:00.000-05:002009-01-30T16:01:00.000-05:00I say no because it's a slippery slope.
