That scene still brings a tear to my cynical eye. The acceptance that it symbolizes is truly profound. A beautiful moment.

****, you're a real masochist. You should track down a copy of Dogville. I only saw it once, it isn't something I could watch again, even if the beautiful Elisabeth Shue is in it. You know how there are just certain movies that have such an effect on you that you can't watch it twice? That was that kind of movie for me. It hit too close to home considering my family is full of drunks.

Meg Ryan is someone that you either love or hate, why is it so hard to imagine not liking her? Her cuteness is gross to me, and it's become embarassing to watch her go from trying to play cute way past the time when she should've stopped, and then gone to something wildly stupid like doing "In the Cut" to show her edge. It reeks of desperation and it's gross!

I liked it in moderation- I like IQ & You've Got Mail, French Kiss is okay- but it just gets to a point of sheer annoyance.

Seeing her full-frontal in "In the Cut" was gross. I don't think I've recovered yet.

I haven't seen that...why is it gross? And I agree that it's hard to see Meg, uh, not embracing what should, perhaps, be a change in the tone of her roles...but I think her physicality limits her in that, unfortunately. Cause even as she gets older and maybe not so cute, she still basically has "cute face"...anyway, i hope she can do it more gracefully...

The whole movie was just a smut-fest and made you want to take a shower after watching it. The nudity came off as more of an act of desperation to save her career than anything else and it backfired completely. Though the nudity can't be totally blamed (Mark Ruffalo ran around bare ass throughout the whole thing, too, and his career is on fire as of late), a lot of it had to do with her bad acting in it and the overall badness of the whole shebang. It was just bad. Read the book, don't see the movie. The movie is just porn with actual graphic closeups of oral sex.

He's overseas.

Dogville should be right up your alley, I'm actually surprised you haven't seen it yet. A lot of the desperation amongst the characters in that movie reminded me of Leaving Las Vegas. I'm not sure if it's out on video in the States yet, I got my copy from South Korea.

The only reason to see it would be for Kevin Bacon, and he's only in it for ten minutes. Or, I guess, if you want to see Mark Ruffalo's ruffalo.

I don't know what "Sisters" is, but I've never been a huge Sigourney fan. I do think she has one of the worst names this side of Ima Hogg.

Just can't put myself through it.

I have yet to see Moulin Rouge. Not big on musicals. Loved Nicole in The Others, though.

Any actress who inspires Stevie to write a song is okay by me.
