We have new affiliates in Weirdland with four amazing sites devouted to four fantastic actresses, thank you very much, Natasha!
Two blonde ladies: Our dear Kirsten Dunst, and my "next door" crush Elisha Cuthberth.
And two very special brunettes:
Ellen Page and Nikki Reed.
"I just don't want to be the damsel in distress. I'll scream on the balcony, but you've got to let me do a little action here". -Kirsten Dunst."I don't care if people like my character. I just want them to think about the movie's message" -Ellen Page.
"I definitely believe in fate. And I believe what you put in is what you get in return. That's the way it's worked for me. As for the big picture - there's some sort of plan". -Elisha Cuthbert.
"Most teen movies are fantasies, like The Princess Diaries. But my movie is coming from a completely different angle, which is truth. This is what really happens" -Nikki Reed (about the movie Thirteen).

Leaving a clothing store
Jake leaving a Clothing Store In New York City on 11th February.
"We skipped across Delancey to Allen & Delancey to get our drink on for 6 bucks. The cocktails had these whimsical names like "The Atlantic Ruin" and "William and Mary" plus they were quite lethal and delicious. About halfway through my drink I notice a guy with a newsboy cap walk in who looks a lot like Jake Gyllenhaal (ever heard of him?). Two seconds later he looks up with and oh, yup it IS him. My mind froze as did my ability to articulate anything but, "Alia. Jake. Gyllenhaal." In college I had a sad, torn little photo of him from Interview above my sorority house desk. We go way back. The rest of the night became a blurry, euphoric memory". Source: everheard.blogspot.com

Steady lover or Extreme lover
STEADY LOVER
For you, love is a gentle journey.
Without any great sense of urgency, you are not one for all-night sessions to get to know your partner inside out. Instead, by doing things together and building understanding, your relationships tend to evolve at their own pace. Yours is a slow-burning love.
Your calm love can withstand pressures that would cause others to crumble, from long spells of absence to temporary indiscretions. While you may not seek the highs of wild passion, you are also less likely to be laid low by romantic tumult. With fewer campaigns to fight and wounds to heal, your relationships are more often characterised by comfort and contentment. You are best matched with like-minded people with whom to share routine and companionship.
Without the need for emotionally exhausting love, you may choose to avoid the “passionate” and “extreme” lovers. What you see as stable, they may see as dull. Alternatively, you may be the rock they need, and they may provide the crazy passion that you enjoy tasting.
Best match:
Steady and Unconditional
If your partner is a steady lover:
Take it slow. Your relationship will grow naturally over time; it's your mutual interests that will bond you.
Famous steady lover:
Sharing her recipes for meatballs and garlic bread on her website goop.com, Gwyneth Paltrow is more a picture of domesticity than a party girl.
EXTREME LOVER
For you, love is all-consuming.
As an extreme lover, you tend to find relationships a source of life-affirming passion and soul-destroying heartache. For you, love is like a roller coaster.
You may find it hard to relax and enjoy your relationship, being gripped with the fear of losing your partner and spending hours turning the relationship over in your mind, looking for signs that they don't really love you (and discounting any that show they do). Warmth from them brings relief but no lasting satisfaction. Indeed, you may sometimes feel that your appetite for affection is insatiable. It is.
You may know that your possessiveness is self-defeating but you can't help feeling it - and showing it. Far too in love to play it cool, you can find yourself acting against your better judgment, racked with jealousy and extremes of emotion.
While the “steady lover” type may have the patience to calm your insecurities, they may grow weary of the emotional turmoil that you bring to the relationship.
To find lasting satisfaction you must first find the source of your neediness - a lack of close connections? Discontentment or low self-esteem. Avoid the “playful lover” types. Their detachment will press all the wrong buttons, causing you distress.
Best match:
Unconditional and Passionate
If your partner is an extreme lover:
Give them lots of reassurance and remember that their suspicions and doubts are all about them, not you.
Famous extreme lover:
Kirsten Dunst described ex-boyfriends such as Jake Gyllenhaal as “possessive” men who started to resent the time that she spent with her family".

They can't wait to watch "Nailed"
Joe: Nailed's tumultuous (that's putting it lightly -- production stopped at least 2-3 times as they ran out of money) road to completion almost made me forget what an intriguing prospect it is creatively. Yeah, yeah, Jessica Biel -- but look at all that other talent. Plus: Paul Reubens! Jon Stewart! Kirstie Alley! Even if it's bad, it could be a total glorious car wreck. I am way excited to find out.
JA: Way excited doesn't even BEGIN to cover my expectations. Yes, David O. Russell's is by all accounts a terrific (as in size, not nature) prick. So is very nearly every director whose films I enjoy. I don't want to be his assistant, I want to watch the wonderful insanity that springs forth from his corrupt brain.
If I were the sort who was into making lists - wait, what are we doing here? - I Heart Huckabees would probably make my top 10 for the decade so far, and I didn't even like it that much the first time I saw it. But then I saw it again. And again. And again, and the fucker swallowed me whole.
And that cast! Yes give or take a Biel - although I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt as of right now - it's like Russell took an ice cream scooper to my skull and splatted my deepest fantasies out onto a marble surface and rolled them up into human form like some sort of brain-to-human version of Cold Stone Creamery.
Whitney: I think putting a nail in someone's head sounds funny. There was a dude that actually happened to. A spike went through his head in a mine and it changed his personality. While he was once friendly and sweet, he suddenly turned into a totally asshole. I learned all about it Psych. 101.
Fox: The premise for this film sounds amazing in it's absurdity. Huckabees was that way, too... I guess everything of Russell's is that way if you think about it.

Shawn Hatosy in "Alpha Dog"
"Alpha Dog" - SPOILER SCENE:
Spoiler Scene of "alpha Dog", Elvis Schmidt (Shawn Hatosy) kills Zack Mazursky (Anton Yelchin), while Keith Stratten can't stand the pressure and goes back to the car. Frankie Ballenbacher (Justin Timberlake) assists to Elvis against his will in the murder.
I think Shawn Hatosy made a spectacular acting job in a controversial role, there is a progressive enhancement of his violence that is paradoxically calm until the ending scene. Elvis wanted to be one of the bad boys, he wanted to be accepted by his boss Johnny Truelove and pay his dues. But he didn't think for a second he was carrying away with him a boy's innocent life.
Watch an interview with Shawn Hatosy at "Alpha Dog" premiere, in March 2007.
