I saw the film version of Like Water for Chocolate when I was in middle school, and really liked it. I think a girl of 12-14 would be fine with reading a story of love during wartime.

This was a really good interview! Thank you for speaking with her and sharing her words.

I heard of this movie while channel-surfing, and thought it was one of the most bizarre movies I had ever seen, with kids acting like 1930s gangsters and molls. I was confused for several minutes while trying to figure out what I was watching.

Likely they wanted to pick up on women and didn’t want younger guys there as competition.

You look cute, your bangs looks great on you!

This story was already covered over the weekend! Seriously, is there a lack of communication at Jezebel, or are Emma and Erin just “zzzzzzz” at the wheel?

I’ve never met her personally, but I’ve seen her in person about four times. Twice when I temped at ABT doing telefundraising in 2011 (I saw her in passing a couple of times and was surprised to see that she is 5’2, she looks taller in pictures from being on pointe with high extensions); seeing her speak at an F.I.T.…

Thank you for writing this, this was really good, and written with a lot of heart.

Oh, OK, I misunderstood. I thought those were your feelings. I do think Anne Hathaway is a good actress, and she gets way too much hate, especially around her campaigning for an Oscar for Les Miserables. She seems like an OK person, and is a talented actress.

Wow, I am the other way around. I like Tina Fey as a writer, but she cannot carry a successful movie. I don’t count Mean Girls, she wrote it and had a supporting role. But a lot of movies she has starred in have bombed, so I don’t think she is a good leading actress.

I liked a movie called Queen to Play, starring Sandrine Bonnaire and Kevin Kline. Bonnaire plays a chambermaid to Kline’s doctor character, and they develop a friendship and play chess together. There isn’t any romance with them, as she loves her husband and daughter, and they discuss life and chess while playing.

Good point, especially since a 30-year old woman said it. Maybe if she said Paul Newman and Gregory Peck, men who stayed handsome and classy to the end, it would have made more sense, and not as the words from a Boomer.

I saw it, and it’s not like Lost in Translation. There’s no romance with the two of them, the characters have a platonic friendship. She loves her husband and child, and he grieves for his wife sometimes, but starts a romance with a woman his own age (10 years younger, but still close).

I saw the movie. He is a retiree and a recent widower, and lives a financially comfortable life, likely off of his pension and social security checks. He kept trying different things to occupy his time (cooking classes, tai chi, Mandarin lessons), and was bored and felt empty in his life. He applies for the internship…

I really liked him in 50/50. I thought it was a fairly realistic look at life with cancer that was both sad and funny (obviously at different times), and he delivered a good and sympathetic performance in it. I also really liked Seth Rogen and Anna Kendrick too (and Kendrick I had only vaguely heard of at that time).

Yes, they tried too hard to make it exciting, and it was boring. And despite that Jamie Chung has been in a lot of big movies, she is generic-looking, and I can never recognize her, nor do I think she has talent. She has been very successful off of The Real World and has had major movie success, but I think she is…

I watched some of it on TV, and found it boring, except when Michael Shannon was chewing scenery as the villain.

I’m sure it looks amazing in 3D, but I already saw the documentary, which I thought was great, and Petit’s eccentric charm and childlike love of danger made him endearing. I don’t want to watch an American actor do a French accent and imitate him.

I really liked Raising Hope, I found it funny and charming, and the show grew and progressed in its 4-5 seasons. I would try The Grinder too.

I really liked Jawbreaker a lot. I thought it was messed-up and funny and dark, and Rose McGowan and Judy Greer owned that movie. I misjudged Julie Benz’ talent, as she played a ditzy character, and was surprised at how versatile her talent was from both Buffy and Dexter.
