I feel like I'm never going to fully get Annette Bening, and I'm not that crazy about her in the movie. I agree with you that she seems utterly unintimidated, and I like how banal she is as a rival (not too sexy or unbelievable, etc.)&#151but I still wish there were a little more coming from her in that moment.Nick Davishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04607501848596529493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10239856.post-1145758295817932452006-04-22T21:11:00.000-05:002006-04-22T21:11:00.000-05:00i loved this post.<BR/>i love this movie.<BR/>i love streep in this movie.<BR/>i love streep in 'death becomes her' --(speaking of her ability to add jokes with her way with a line reading)<BR/><BR/>i am apparently full of love.<BR/><BR/>the only thing missing from this post is a more identifiable shout out to the divine ms. Bening who is, i daresay, the only performer who doesn't seem the least bit fazed or changed (in performance) by sharing the screen with Streep which is absolutely appropriate for her character and a very very early sign (2nd movie, right?) that Bening was to die for...NATHANIEL Rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03919183967014193800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10239856.post-1145749958478634792006-04-22T18:52:00.000-05:002006-04-22T18:52:00.000-05:00But that's not why you liked the post, right? ;)Nick Davishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04607501848596529493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10239856.post-1145749321115120232006-04-22T18:42:00.000-05:002006-04-22T18:42:00.000-05:00Erm, Picked Flick.

It's one of your best Flicked Pick posts yet, Nick, and certainly one of the best encapsulations of a performance. I'll be digging the movie out pronto.<BR/><BR/>Streep, by the way, is a <I>scream</I> in <I>Death Becomes Her</I>, I don't care how awful people think the film is.tim rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11893294970751318226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10239856.post-1145740909360396562006-04-22T16:21:00.000-05:002006-04-22T16:21:00.000-05:00When my friend Steve and I were reviewing movies for the local paper in high school, we would write a full review of one of the two movies that was playing each week and a one-sentence summary of the other. <I>Postcards</I> was the second film one week, and we had it confused with another movie, so our summary for it was completely wrong. That resulted in my very first professional reprimand. I still haven't seen it, perhaps because I resented that scolding, but this makes me want to.goatdoghttp://goatdog.comnoreply@blogger.com
