Ok, so let’s try this again.
There are articles/interviews/reviews falling from the sky like frogs, but a lot of the content is similar and, in some cases, almost identical. So I’m going to try and filter out some of the unnecessary content. However, some people are very good at remembering every little fact from every little article…while other people are good at balancing peanuts on their nose. Unfortunately, for you, I fall into the latter category. But I’m going to try.
Closer stuff!! ! !!!
– Richard Corliss ponders, Whatever Happened to Movie Sex? Complete with Closer praise.
– Dave Poland ponders, What Is Richard Corliss Smoking? Complete with Closer bitchslapping. Note: The link is time sensitive.
– Yahoo Movies has a video clip interview with Natalie called 5 Minutes with Natalie Portman. Even though the clip is under 4 minutes (liars!) it’s pretty good and Natalie looks PHWOAR! Thanks to Bonnie.
– Bravo have changed their schedule AGAIN, so the Making Of has been pushed back a week to the 9th. Thanks to Dita.
– You would be forgiven for thinking a site called Movie Reviews for the Retarded would, ironically, be quite retarded itself. But this great review of Closer proves otherwise…although maybe I’m their target audience. Thanks to Pot.
– This Canadian site has a nice article (the text has been used in tons of other articles so who knows the original source) but it mentions the cut Nat nudity was only 90 seconds worth. While other articles say it was 2 seconds worth. Maybe they mean Canadian seconds…Thanks to Mark.
– Another really good article. Thanks to rbt.
– And to keep things balanced, an article from someone who isn’t very impressed by Natalie choosing to take the role. Thanks to Jennifer and Benny.
– A cool interview which has a quote for the ages: “I’m extraordinarily flexible”…*cough splutter*…good to know. Thanks to Juanma.
– A user review from Oscarwatch.
– A review from New York Magazine. Drippy music MY ASS!
– Also keep an eye on the Rotten Tomatoes page for Closer, which has just gone live. Thanks to JC.
– A short little interview with MTV. Thanks to Benny.
– Funny quote of the day. Thanks to Acacia.
And finally, Sonoyta found another wonderful For Your Consideration ad.
And so ends the Closer stuff for today.
You might recall that awhile back we reported that Natalie was rumoured to be linked with a role in the play, The Glass Menagerie. Well according to this article, the role went to Sarah “God I miss Jack and Jill” Paulson. Thanks to Joe.
Tom sent in something that I’d rather not have known…
I was driving back from blockbuster after dropping off the usual weekend film, when i had the pleasure of hearing natalie on radio 1! (This was about 12:00pm) She was talking about Garden State, and Star wars, all the basic stuff, we’ve heard it all before questions. Natalie sounded really tired, but Radion 1 do a thing called the lowdown (quick fire questions). One of them was what’s the best cure for a hangover – natalie’s answer was an english breakfast! She said she liked the beans!!
The IMDB is saluting Hollywood brunettes and I salute the pic of Natalie they chose. Thanks to Trenton.
And finally, Loleia sent in this great wallpaper.
I’ll be back later with a new poll and editorial among other things.
