HAHA

You know how sometimes when you watch an older movie, say from the early 1990s, you will recognize someone who's gone on to be well known later on?

I hit the goldmine with Beethoven, my daughter's movie de jeur. I've spotted Oliver Platt, Stanley Tucci, David Ducovny, Patricia Heaton, and Greg Kinnear.

I like Stanley Tucci, he tends to play these characters that make me feel like I've slipped into warm slippers when I watch them. Especially Julie and Julia. That movie is such a fun movie to spend a couple of hours with....and, you know, it hit my food porn button like crazy.

Meanwhile.

The girl I work with, Crazy Bitch, was telling me today about a French movie she was watching. She ended up not liking it when she realized that one of the characters was being played by Jodie Foster. She doesn't like Jodie Foster. At all. Why? Because while she was "okay" in Foxes, CB didn't like her character in The Accused.

Because she didn't like the girl's 'masculine' attitude.

I had a second to boggle at this before she went on to tell me that she doesn't like it when actresses act or play 'tough', which she apparently considers to be a purely masculine trait.

*sigh*

I have to find a way to avoid these conversational traps, I really do.
