HOLY CRAP!

It's a No on Prop 8 ad.

With SAMUEL L. MOTHERFUCKIN' JACKSON narrating.

Nothing has been better ever.

Happy Halloween!

Such a great IMDb poll...

today. I voted for Jules Winnfield (of course - a role, and a performance, so strong that Samuel L. Jackson is still getting typecast as him today, 14 years after Pulp Fiction. I don't care what ya'll say about Martin Landau; yeah, he was really good in Ed Wood, but that Oscar was Sammy's.), and he's rightfully winning, but I love almost all those characters/performances.

I am pleased.

Way to go, IMDb voters.

My ranking:
Jennifer Jason Leigh
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Scarlett Johansson (I know, I know. But I can't help it. I just love her. It's good will left over from Lost in Translation.)
Kirsten Dunst
Christina Ricci (I cannot put into words the joy the picture at the top of this page gives me.)
Maria Bello
Sarah Polley
Rachel McAdams
Ziyi Zhang
Parker Posey
Claire Danes
Emily Mortimer
Tilda Swinton (gar)
Thandie Newton (okay, so Emily was better in The Devil Wears Prada, as overrated as that performance is, than anything Thandie's ever been in. BUT AT LEAST THANDIE'S BEEN IN THE MOVIE BUSINESS FOR OVER, LIKE, A YEAR.)
Emily Blunt (HA.)

HAHAHAHA

"This poop doesn't just happen."

Thirteen years later (Pulp Fiction's a teenager! It's gonna get cranky and horomonal!), what are people still talking about? Martin Landau in Ed Wood or Samuel L. Jackson in the above film? Yeah I thought so.

Ed Wood

So I saw this movie for the first time in a while, and it allowed me to confirm, even as a Burton and Depp hater: AWESOME. Plus! Bill Murray is in it! I forgot that!

However, I still maintain that Martin Landau, though fantastic, did not deserve his Oscar over Samuel L. Jackson.

he's pissed off cuz he knows he was robbed.

Best Supporting Actor.

ignore the suit.
focus on the brilliance.

Okay, so um, where are the great Supporting Actor peformances of the new millennium? Though I love my choice for the best Supporting Actor of the new millennium (Tim Robbins in Mystic River - suck itttt), I doubt he'd even make #10 on my list of the Best Supporting Actors of the 1990s. It's true, this has hindsight helping me, but think about all the incredible supporting male performances we'd had by the beginning of 1997: all the Glengarry Glen Ross boys, Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs, Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis in Pulp Fiction, Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List, Kevin Spacey in The Usual Suspects (and Se7en - which I haven't seen, and quite frankly, which I refuse to see), Joe Pesci in Goodfellas, Edward Norton in Primal Fear and The People vs. Larry Flynt, Gene Hackman in Unforgiven, Leonardo DiCaprio in What's Eating Gilbert Grape?, Jack Lemmon in Short Cuts, Martin Landau in Ed Wood, Sean Penn in Carlito's Way, Don Cheadle in Devil in a Blue Dress...

though, if you're willing to deem the movie eligible, Jeffrey Wright and Al Pacino in Angels in America could easily go toe-to-toe with any of those performances...
