Thank you for the Kung Fu
In addition to giving us more plot twists last night and more of that excellent, excellent acting from Sun and Jin, we got to see Jin bust out some Kung Fu moves–aaah, so satisfying. And I know at least one blog reader who has a secret crush on Jin, so I’m sure she’s over the moon.
In other news, I didn’t manage to do all of my research yesterday, but I did watch The Thomas Crown Affair, and here’s what I learned:
First of all, it’s Crown, not Crowne, but I’m too lazy to go back and change it everywhere I misspelled it.
Second, I now understand why Barry and Patrick like it so much. Quite a bit of T & A for you fellas, huh?
Third, I realized within the first few moments she was on screen that I have no hope of ever being as sultry as Rene Russo. I mean can you believe how incredibly fine she is in that film? Especially in that sheer black dress while they were dancing? And all those . . . you-know-what scenes? [I'm typing it that way not because I'm absurdly modest--although I kind of am--but because I want to avoid all the searches this post is going to get for Rene Russo . . . you know. I put up with enough spam from my Kate Winslet post. Oh, great. Now I've probably done it again. Someone is going to do a dual search for pictures of both Rene and Kate. Sigh.]
Anyway, I think I’m going to have to give up any illusions that I’ll ever be Rene, and instead stick with trying to be Meryl Streep in River Wild. We all do what we can with what we’ve got.
Oooh, that’s a good one. Name me the actor or actress you aspire to look like/act like/be like at some future time in your life, and which movie of theirs in particular you want to be from.

So, does that mean you liked it? Do you think annette liked it for all the T&A to?
I think one of the best lines if from Dennis Leary. “I was fine once….”
I’ve always said I should be played by Matt Damon with a voice over from James Earl Jones.

I’d play this game but, right now I’m medicating myself trying to get the image of Patrick in a thong out of my head.
I know I can not look, act or be like these actors but, if I were to be reincarnated I’d like to be Sean Connery, Tom Hanks or Harrison Ford. Connery for his looks, voice and suaveness, Hanks for the diversity of his work and Ford for all the difficult situations he gets out of.

Herb, nice choices there. That combo would build an excellent man.
Patrick, yeah, that Dennis Leary speech was great. He was wonderful to watch in that movie. The whole flick was pretty damn stylish.
April 26th, 2007 at 9:11 am
Herb, You’re trying to imagine me without the thong?
That’s getting pretty scandalous.

Scarlett Johansson, no question. Is there any drawback to being the sexiest woman alive? And talented to boot?
She also avoids being a Paris/Lindsay media whore type.
I want to be her in Match Point, not because I liked the movie, but because the scenes with her and Jonathan Rhys Myers are HOT.

Patrick, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
April 26th, 2007 at 10:02 am
what dennis leary film are you referring to?
the tca is pretty darn sexy, especially the black, barely painted-on dress scene. is there no way however that i can convince anyone on this bleepin’ blog to see the original. there’s also a “dress” scene, which although demur by today’s standards, is very hot.
herb, i’d say if you can only pick one “fine” aspiration stick with sean connery–he’s the total package.

Dude, I totally did NOT like that movie for the T&A. It was for the stunning photography and cinematography and the beyond-amazing choreography of the heists. Give me SOME credit. When I like something for the boobies (like, say, a substandard episode of Lost), I own up to it. This is not one of those times.
April 26th, 2007 at 2:05 pm
Haha, Barry said boobies.
April 26th, 2007 at 4:03 pm
annette - Dennis is in TCA. He plays the cop?!?! I’m considering seeing the original, but I don’t have as much research time as Robin.
Barry - I’ve accepted the reality that we are the de facto pervs for the blog. Haven’t figured out why Herb is excluded.

The Thomas Crown Affair was good for the action but was anyone else totally annoyed by Russo’s laugh? The laugh did not go with the slinky black dress so it ruined the whole movie for me. Was it irritating to any of you other viewers?
April 26th, 2007 at 6:01 pm
Yes! Oh, my gosh, I totally forgot about that. That laugh just didn’t fit her or her character at all. I mean, I know you can’t help how you laugh, but why they decided to highligh that–particularly during that sex scene–was really an odd choice.
April 26th, 2007 at 6:23 pm
I don’t remember any sex scenes.
April 26th, 2007 at 7:21 pm
They were the ones in between the scenes where everyone wore expensive clothes. I know it’s hard to miss–over and over and over again.
