ooh, happy birthday.

Of course, it helps that this is one of the best performances of the 2000s (or hell, in general). But...but...but... it would have been worth it even if the performance were terrible to see this, right?

and happy birthday to Vanessa Redgrave. Her scene in Atonement still sticks with me...

and Gene Hackman. He looks like my dad. Like, a lot.

a good day for birthdays!

Happy birthday to the insanely hot Christian Bale (and in the picture above, he doesn't even have his shirt off). His ridiculously bravura performance in American Psycho still stands as one of the best of the decade. Also, happy birthday Gene Hackman, a legend who has the added bonus of really, really looking like my dad. The French Connection, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Conversation <3 (among others)

I rewatched Children of Men last night through um, not entirely legal means. Even on the teeny screen (coughmycomputercough), God, that film is fucking stunning. It and The Fountain might have to switch places on my top 10 list, and maybe, some day, even The Departed...
