Ha ha ha! Oh wow, we could not be any more different! I think she is an atrocious actress; performing every role with the same wooden lack of empathy combined with an irritating, knowing smirk! Maybe this is the reason you didn't like Fitzcarraldo, which is one of my favorite movies; I know the representative sample is currently only two Fegs, but perhaps there is some kind of constant vis-`-vis Klaus Kinski and Rebecca Pidgeon, like (KK)(RP)=k? > And I enjoyed > it a lot. It's not a masterpiece, but it was highly entertaining. And I actually thought that"The Winslow Boy" was such a breathtakingly boring movie, it's become a personal byword for dullness in my own cimematic vocabulary -- "Well, Howard's End and The English Patient were pretty bad, but at least they were no Winslow Boy!" But to be honest, I generally find Mamet to be pretentious and dull. I say this not to deliberately tweak your non-Bavarian nose, but because it's yet another example of the broad wingspan of the Venn diagram that is Fegmaniax! - --Quail ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2009 09:57:01 -0500 From: Miles Goosens Subject: Re: REAP (pt 2): Tim Krekel Tim is the writer of the great Jason & the Scorchers staple, "Greetings From Nashville."
