Julianne is All Right

Hello

I'm working up to film number two. It's so difficult trying to pick - I said "Safe" in my last post but I think it depends what sort of mood I'm in - I have all my Julianne films on the top shelf omy TV holder thing. I was thinking about different types of film, I mean I know there are some stinkers in there - even though Julianne WILL be wonderful in them - but the difference between films like "The Hours" which would require an emotional investment from the viewer and films like say "Evolution" which you can half watch and still guiltily enjoy. I wonder what it is like for someone acting in those films, would something like a lighthearted romantic comedy be easier to make than something like the harrowing "Blindness"? Or is acting just acting? That's what I'm pondering today.

Also, loving the praise that Julianne is getting for "The Kids Are All Right", surely, surely this is her Oscar year. Would love to see her and Benning both win - one of them supporting. It's embarasssing the people who do have Oscars when Julianne doesn't. I wish I could see Kids... sooner but sadly because I live in the UK I need to wait until October, why do they do that!?!

I do like when Julianne arrives at the cinema - I always call it "Julianne Day". Then I need to recruit one of my friends to be my Julianne buddy. Last time it was "Shelter" and I went with my friend Linsey, the trains broke down that day so we had to get a crowded bus into town that took the longest route ever and I was just thinking, its for Julianne, it's worth it. We had a lovely lunch before the film though and then Linsey actually really enjoyed Shelter, mainly I think because I get a little bit jumpy at films like that so look a little foolish!

"The Private Lives of Pippa Lee" was a struggle to recruit a "Julianne Buddy" for but my friend Steven came along to witness the film's four minutes of Julianne. The rest of the film wasn't the best was it? So thankfully he brought two plastic wine glasses and two bottles of Rose wine, that was a fun experience! We often talk of Pippa Lee. It was a friday night and there was a guy there on his own and I invented this story in my head that he was a massive Julianne fan too and was there to see her.

Wonder if I was right, are you reading this blog Pippa Lee Guy??
