[On how she believes Derek Jarman would have reacted to her winning an Oscar] I think he would have laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed… And then, he would ask me for the thing to melt it down into an artwork.
Man, we really all read all the same stuff, don't we? Like even the blogs we don't all talk about reading? This is like going to a small liberal arts school and figuring out the same circle of people is all hooking up with the same circle of people. Except nerdier.
@Bittersweet i know, right? like, once you've thought of it, you can't NOT think of it. it NEEDS to happen.
@HeyThatsMyBike i prefer to think of it like this: there are certain objectively awesome websites, and we all have the internet experience and good taste to recognize them when we see them. or, more truthfully, there are objectively awesome writers. and we do all know who they are.
She wears a lot of contemporary Lanvin (once they brought Alber Elbaz on board) and she's (the?) major name client for Haider Ackermann, so she's still championing the up-and-coming designers. More than anything, though, I love the work she does with Viktor & Rolf … remember back in '03 when they had her on the catwalk, and all the other runway models were made up like her? Ha! Great.
no, but that entry and ebert's "films of the decade" list taught me about this incredible thing called netflix "watch instantly": with a not all that fancy dvd machine and a cheap netflix subscription you can have this on your television in a few seconds. THE FUTURE, right? maybe everyone already knew about this? but to me it was a revelation.
but, no. I haven't watched this one yet, mainly because the others in the movie club said that it was not entirely sufferable.
Outside the content of this letter, can we continue to note that Roger Ebert is a national treasure? He will someday overtake Jerry Orbach on top of the list of celebrity deaths that made me cry like a fucking child. (But he is currently cancer-free! Go Roger Go!)
i feel like he's gotten 10x more awesome since losing his ability to speak. i've said this on videogum (see that note above about everyone reading the same websites), but i'll say it again: it's like he was all, "i may not be able to speak, but i will not be silenced."
I was casting some imaginary film adaptations of Shakespeare in my head the other day (as one is wont to do, amiright?) and Tilda Swinton is the only person I could come up with who could do a creditable Lady MacBeth.

I really hope that's a Fug Girls shout-out?
it's gotta be. also, i think if i say this as many places as possible, it might just come true.
SOMEONE HIRE SWINTON TO PLAY BOWIE. LIKE, NOW!!!
SWINTON as Bowie? My brain just exploded in delight.

Is there a doctor of 21st-Century Swintonist Fashion in the house?

In your FACE, Miley Cyrus.
I'm so glad you're back in this nation!
Holla!
Has anyone seen the movie Ebert is talking about? Julia?
I think the point is that no, no one has.
I sort of did!

Also available in that $1 red video dispenser at the supermarket. See it!

I would give blood, plasma, lymph, you name it, to see Patrick Stewart and Liza Minnelli as the Macbeths. Cast either way.
@jfruh: Aw, c'mon, no love for Maura Tierney?
There is a version of MacBeth that comes and goes from Tilda's imdb page. "Come Like Shadows" with Sean Bean.
