It's not acting, it's attitude.<br /><br />Speaking of strong female roles and 21 grams, Naomi Watts tore herself to shreds for that role. It was the last performance that actually brought a tear to my eye while watching it.<br /><br />And Julia was the shit, Tilda Swinton is one of the best actresses currently performing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827652636843928373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681306287721676137.post-34520121341628446132010-03-06T20:42:44.455-08:002010-03-06T20:42:44.455-08:00Bad Day for Sorry's Stella could go a lot of w...Bad Day for Sorry's Stella could go a lot of ways: <br /><br />Emily Blunt (but you'd have to wait too long)<br />Yuen Qiu (but then the film would never get funded)<br />Jodi Foster (if you can get her to stop relying so heavily on her vulnerable look.)<br />Frances McDormand (not sure Coens should direct)<br />Charlize Theron<br />Felicity Huffman (watch her in Sports Night)<br />Angela Bassett<br />Denise Crosby<br />Adrienne Barbeau (I saw her 3 years ago -- she was 60 but looked 40!!!!)<br />Linda Hamilton<br /><br />Casting against type:<br /><br />Michelle Yeoh<br /><br />sorry, I adore Stella.

There were so many great participants in that show - how bout Edie Falco? - I guess she got lost in the shuffle.

It's amazing stuff.<br /><br />I think that Adrianne Palicki (from Friday Night Lights) plays tough really well, in fact I think she would be perfect in a film version of Robert Fate's Baby Shark. <br /><br />Over all I agree with you that strong is more about getting back up and doing what you have to. Kicking ass and getting revenge are good as well, but it is living dispite the hard knocks that really makes someone strong.Irenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18078694505194875348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681306287721676137.post-46956660477688407242010-03-06T12:13:13.834-08:002010-03-06T12:13:13.834-08:00Yeah Patti - I liked that one a lot.
