coming round to la bollocks

was never a fan of sandra bullock, i must say, (the whole cutesy thing she had going) but she's no meg ryan and i started coming round with MURDER BY NUMBERS. at that point i felt i had the stomach to stomach MISS CONGENIALITY. by that point, bent in half with the chuckles (o'houlihan), i've just continued to be more and more impressed. CRASH... then came the clincher LOVERBOY, frankly in a small cameo in a oddball film playing a Mrs Harker she was luminous, radiant, moving. i was sold! as was oats. anyway, now INFAMOUS..

``Joining their ranks is Nelle Harper Lee, played by Sandra Bullock with far more weariness than Catherine Keener brought to Capote. She's allowed long monologues, to the point where the movie for a while becomes more about her own failure to follow To Kill a Mockingbird than Capote's inability to write anything of any consequence after In Cold Blood. Would that Bullock, at last proving she's more estimable an actress than her choices would suggest, were allowed to devote an entire film to Lee's story.'' (village Voice)

NOW, if i don't mind my beloved CK being compared unfavourably to someone else, we know this is nothing short of an epiphany.


end of eulogy, yours a fan of the bollocks



*hoi, all, oats here, guest-blogging as i am wont to do on occasion (or rather as F wants me to do on occasion).
we love the bollox, deep down in our hearts. woo woo. oh, and grumpy lumpy, rumpy pumpy and gao gao, while i'm at it.
i'm currently inculcating F into the joy, wonder and obsession that is The Knife, so see you at sxg.
