You Wrote Reese A Letter?


Okay, spill. What did it say? What was so important that you just had to write it down. Tell us in the comments*.

*I had hoped to do big posts today but prep for my vacation is killing me. so I'm playing blog comment games instead.

Dear Reese: Isn't it kind of painful that your best role in what's coming on five years now was in a Dreamworks animated movie? I don't place a lot of faith in How Do You Know so here's hoping Water for Elephants and Brave are well received. (And the less said about that McG movie you're set to appear in, the better.)

NATHANIEL R said...

Ooh, maybe all the letters will reference Water for Elephants. Is that the first interesting project she's taken post Oscar?

caroline said...

I kind of doubt it. Judging from the book, there really isn't much for her character to do, and I think putting Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson together was an absolutely terrible casting decision.

caroline said...

"How Do You Know" looks promising, but still more of a showcase for the males instead of her. But we'll see.

Dear Reese,
I love you, darling, I do. But if your fraternizing with vampires...

I don't know. She's pissing me off with all these romantic comedies.

Volvagia said...

It's called CREATIVE LICENSE. And I'm seeing a possible Truman Show here. Francis Lawrence isn't the most acclaimed director, but, hey Mike Nichols is, on an overall level, disappointing.

Volvagia said...

I mean: Norman Bates is much different in the book, Watchmen the comic faked an alien invasion and as for Scott Pilgrim...it made a change that is, frankly, sexist.

Michael Parsons said...

Dear Reese, look behind you. No that is not the boogie man, it is the career of Meg Ryan. Let this be your last warning.

NATHANIEL R said...

Michael - lol. it's so true though right? Reese needs to try hard again. it's like once she won the oscar she didn't have anything to be cutthroat ambitious about. like tracey flick disappeared!

Paul Outlaw said...

Dear Reese,
You are definitely a candidate for the "Love 'em & leave 'em" thread, except that I never really loved you. Always thought you were terrific at what you do, but you've never been my fave. Anyway, what's happened since your Oscar? (You looked so good as a brunette btw.)

Michael Parsons said...

I know, it is very strange indeed. Why can't there be more Nicole Kidmans out there.

caroline said...

Creative license works out well for great source materials. I'm not 100% sure what there is to build off a a sweet, likeable, but ultimately paper-thin character whose main purpose is to look devastatingly attractive and ultimately get saved by the main character. But here's to hoping for the best.

Dear Reese,

I’d like to kidnap the father of your children. Keeping Ryan captive in a secluded Colorado cabin bound by rope in an isolated bedroom. The assumption is there will be gay sex but I assure you I want him to love my first.

Sincerely,
Someone who thinks you didn’t deserve your Oscar no matter how awesome your Election performance is.

Dear Reese,
If you go brunette again in one of your next films, will you get your second Oscar?

Andrew R. said...

Reese-

1. Quit Water for Elephants, Pattinson has no talent and you're ruining a decent book.
2. Change your first name, I always get you and Renee Zellweger mixed up.
3. I have no problem with your Oscar for Walk the Line and I think you should've been nominated for Election.
4. That's it. Think about what I've said.

Volvagia said...

Hello on Water For Elephants: Everyone other major character looks well cast. And as for not having faith in How Do You Know: I've never been WOWED by a James L Brooks. I'm ready to potentially be wowed by Francis Lawrence. Especially since I think I Am Legend showed promise. Not high promise, but some promise. She should quit the McG film written by Burr Steers, precisely because it's "the McG film written by Burr Steers." And she'll likely have less to do in it than in Water For Elephants.

Castor said...

Dear Reese,

Stop making generic romantic comedies and go back to making challenging work like Freeway, Election or even Walk the Line.

Volvagia said...

Meg Ryan lost her career due appearing in nothing even GOOD post When Harry Met Sally... I'd at least characterise Walk The Line and Monsters vs. Aliens as good, though not great.

Aaron said...

Dear Reese,

Weren't you somehow attached to the new Alexander Payne film in production? And the new one from Paul Thomas Anderson starring Philip Seymour Hoffman? If so, please do everything in your power to rush production. Your career needs a massive rejuvenation. ASAP!

I've always thought you had talent! Please show it again!
