The New York and Toronto film critics had Ellen Burstyn down as a supporting actress in Requiem for a Dream. Me, too.

I liked Julia Roberts in both Notting Hill and Erin Brockovich; I mean, I thought that she was really good. Playing herself in Notting Hill, with her Americanness in that ensemble of archetypes, was difficult. She had at least three line readings that made me cringe, but the lines also made me cringe.
I thought that she was as good as advertised in Brockovich -- just not as good as one of her competitors in the Monkey's poll. Her cleavage alone was nominatable.
The only time I ever went on a date without knowing the date was to see Erin Brockovich -- someone with whom I corresponded online. A true 2000-kinda thing.
She was delightful, and we had a really good time (staying out late late late in Adams-Morgan after the film). My self-hatred and her move to Seattle kinda crushed that. She was from Kansas, but I called her Harvard.
What; this isn't my blog to spew my blogness. . . ? Sorry.
Yes; there were multiple dates before she moved. Inquiring minds want to know.
Huh, I did not know this. Of course, I was living in England at the time ...
I searched my mind to remember what you thought of it, and remembered that you weren't yet back.
