You are right. Julia is much hotter. WInning smile and doesnt have puffy cheeks (is this a Renee zellweger bulimia thing?)

she did however look great on the cover of (Elle?) recently? Didnt recognize her. You should check that out.

I also love All about Eve. (And would agree with E/O and Not Bob about It Happened one Night.) My favorite old movies, however are:

Notorious - I love it more every time I see it.
Bringing Up Baby

and in color (and more recent)

Charade (re-made abysmally recently as the Trouble with Charlie)
Breakfast at Tiffany's
North by Northwest
Wait until Dark

(actually I love all Audrey Hepburn movies (except My Fair Lady), but those three are my favorites)

Admittedly, I am a blonde fan, but Julia has a class level and style that can't be automatically dismissed.

I didn't think you were saying he was a genius. Just in the film they made him out to be super smart - i.e. when Donald Sutherland was saying that the success of the whole job was because Marky Mark was so smart - that kind of thing.

Heh. Concur. I have disliked Julia Roberts for some years now, but Ocean's 11 clearly proved one thing to me - one of her legs is shorter than the other, and it gives her this stumping walk, and every time someone drivels "ooh, she's so elegant!" I just think whaddaya mean? She stumps about like a longshoreman with gout!

And while we're on movies, I caught Moulin Rouge again this weekend on cable. Call me a big mush, but I cry every time. Usually I'm quite cynical, but such is the power of the musical, I guess. Oh, and Kidman is a goddess. Or she is now. Right after MR they showed Dead Calm, which I think is the last movie she did with her real accent, and she was very un-goddess like in that.

I just had to adjust my screen resolution in order to get her damn mouth to fit without having to scroll.

Which reminds me of a old joke...

Julia Roberts walks into a bar,
Bartender says "why the long face?"

My idolization of Kidman died when I saw her on the pot in Eyes Wide Shut. Talk about stuff that I did not need to see or visualize.

Actually, this statement pretty much illustrates my dislike for her.

Hey, I was the one who brought the upcoming ACL Fest to everyone's attention, with nary a rapper on the bill.

I have broad taste, I just prefer my misogynist movies more Neil LaBute than David Mamet. I am not saying Spanish Prisoner sucked because I got bored and turned it off. So it might have been great, it was just too Mamet. Same thing with the Heist. Yuck.

And that class level is "School in the Summertime."

Well....as to Charlize, if you removed the black dress, and replaced it with some hand me downs, she might somewhat resemble the urchins that stand outside the Farragut West metro panhandling for dimes.

Love Bringing Up Baby. Incidentally Kate Hepburn, who used to wander the set freely with the leopard, was apparently almost attacked by it when the metal tabs in her skirt that weighted the hem to make it twirl prettily did so perfectly and excited the kitty, and they had to whack it nearly senseless to keep it off her.

Other black and white: To Have and Have Not and Key Largo with Lauren Bacall/Humphrey Bogart. She really is just smoldering.
Other color: I sob like a baby at West Side Story and Romeo and Juliet. Heck, I'm tearing up right now.

Must we start this again?

Yeah, why not -- we haven't seen this one in a while....thanks to DA (I think) who orignally posted this back in The Old Place. Mmmmm, Ashley.

That about sums up my response to Spanish Prisoner, too. Too Mamet. And not even good Mamet. (Good Mamet is when you don't focus on the fact that his dialog is so stilted and unnatural as to be nearly surreal.)
