Check it out and participate if you've got the time and inclination.

We deserve to know the truth behind those so-called workout cessions !<BR/><BR/>But I really don't know about Newton.. I read a couple of books about Rice and she's really a compex woman. If Newton pull it off she'll be a sue-in for the Oscar... but she could also go the Razzie route.<BR/><BR/>I expected someone tougher-looking, like Angela Bassett (I can't think on anyone else)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-44435917966399932652008-04-07T16:33:00.000-04:002008-04-07T16:33:00.000-04:00I think the "great man" stuff is a bit overdone, j...I think the "great man" stuff is a bit overdone, just as when John Wayne passed away - they called him a "hero" but in fact, he was an ACTOR, which is not to be put in the same catagory as men and women who put their lives on the line.<BR/><BR/>Anyway...I'm going to disagree with you, Alex, about W in that I can definitely see Thandi Newton in the role. Yes, she's younger and prettier than Condi Rice, but I can see her nailing the requirements of the "character".<BR/><BR/>Although why the need to "glorify" George with a movie is something I still don't understand. And if it's to criticize him or lay open "secrets" of his administration, why wait until the man is almost out of office? Wouldn't something off this nature been far more meaningful four years ago? This almost smacks of cowardice.<BR/><BR/>RedSatinDollAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-13870911068945035082008-04-07T10:09:00.000-04:002008-04-07T10:09:00.000-04:00I haven't delved into Heston's filmography enough,...I haven't delved into Heston's filmography enough, sadly.

When I was an adolescent (because of the austerity of La Mancha, I guess) I was a prisoner, excessively so, of the glamour and excessiveness of the Hollywood actresses, and Deborah Kerr was too discreet for my feverish state back then. It was in adulthood that I discovered the complexity, richness, intensity and sense of humor that resided beneath her apparent discretion."<BR/><BR/> He also writes perceptively about her performance in Night of the Iguana, her passing, the importance of words in cinema - and Penelope Cruz and Blanca Portillo are in his upcoming film! *does happy dance* I LOVE Blanco Portillo - for me, the best thing about Volver, which had many, many good things (although argueably it's not as great as All About My Mother). But her's is the performance from that film that has stayed with me. <BR/><BR/>RedSatinDollAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-23242682085744364862008-04-07T02:38:00.000-04:002008-04-07T02:38:00.000-04:00Thanks for the link to the Indy blog-a-thon.
