Kirsten Dunst


...is, in fact, a hugely talented actress when she wants to be. I'm watching Eternal Sunshine right now and marveling over how good she is. She might be better than Carrey (there's no way she's better than Winslet, but, like, extremely few performances are). The twist in Eternal Sunshine is so great. Why? Because nobody ever talks about it. Why? Because the movie has so many other positive aspects, it doesn't need to rely on the twist.

(this post is in spite of the fact that she dumped Jake Gyllenhaal for being "too boring" or whatever. That's just dumb. But her acting isn't.)
