Brown Eyed Girl

Natalie Portman in "Closer" and "V for Vendetta" (below).

Alyssa Milano.
"In the film Donnie refers to "Married with Children" (1987) and, more specifically, Christina Applegate during conversations about sex with his therapist. The script initially called for Donnie's fantasies to be about Alyssa Milano. This had to be changed however when Richard Kelly was denied the legal rights to reference her in this manner."

Nora Zehetner in "Brick".
Winona Ryder.
Rose McGowan.

"Hey where did we go,
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow,
Playin' a new game,
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin' and you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall, with you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.
Do you remember when we used to sing,
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
So hard to find my way,
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My how you have grown,
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da."
"Brown eyed girl" (1967).

Coincidences

"Young men everywhere are aging at warp speed, and irony -the missile shield of another era- is of limited use to us anymore. "To have someone as good-looking as Jake inhabit a character who's alienated, who's an outsider, puts a face on that archetype that's very real", says "Donnie Darko" writer-director Richard Kelly, "part of the reason people have embraced the character is because they see part of themselves in him" -GQ magazine interview, June 2004.
"Watching it ["Brick"] is watching something magical. "Brick" is one of the most quotable movies I have ever seen. There are parts that some people won't even understand at all, and when people come up to me quoting lines from this movie, I'll really get a kick out of that" -Joseph Gordon-Levitt for an interview in Ellegirl magazine, 2005.





Sarah Roemer Looks Like Ellen Pompeo: "Seriously. I was looking at the LA premier pics of Disturbia and ever time she came up I thought she was Ellen Pompeo. She's got the same smile and hair and tan. Its uncanny." -HellBoy_Chick in IMDb message board for Sarah Roemer.
Ellen Pompeo with Jake Gyllenhaal.

Mary Jane and Kirsten

"In Spider-Man 3, she begins – oh, the ennui – with an upside-down love scene in a spider’s web. Then she unceremoniously dumps Peter Parker, Spider-Man’s human side.
‘After the success of the first film I got my own hair, make-up and wardrobe people,’ says Dunst. ‘And it’s fun to have your own posse. But I hate the action sequences.
They are slow, painful and very boring to make, as all the action is generated by computers. You sit in a trailer all day doing nothing.

You arrive at 6am, get all dressed up, put on your make-up and it seeps into your pores all day long, which makes me feel like I want to shoot myself.
She dated Dustin Hoffman’s actor son Jake for a while, then actor Ben Foster. After that came her three-year relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal.
‘I’ve only had three relationships in my life and because of them I started to think about everything differently,’ she says. But men get possessive. They love you so much and get angry at your family and then I started to get angry at my family.
I also saw how much someone can judge you and your situation. After my last relationship, I realised just because your family is not like theirs, it doesn’t mean your family isn’t any good.

So I’ve been by myself ever since. No boyfriend. I just haven’t met the person to blow me away yet. I have high standards.
Listening to Dunst, what’s interesting is that she seems to have come through it all relatively unscathed. She’s composed and articulate. She is philosophical now about her childhood and has managed to avoid the pitfalls child stars typically fall into.
‘I drink moderately,’ she says. ‘I’ve tried drugs. I do like weed. I have a different outlook on marijuana than America does.

My best friend Sasha’s dad was Carl Sagan, the astronomer. He was the biggest pot smoker in the world and he was a genius.

‘I’ve never been a major smoker, but I think America’s view on weed is ridiculous. I mean – are you kidding me? If everyone smoked weed, the world would be a better place.’
She also reveals that, contrary to reports, there is likely to be at least one more Spider-Man film. And despite all that hanging-around-the-trailer boredom, she’s up for it.

‘Yes, I’d definitely do Spider-Man 4. As long as Sam Raimi is the director and Tobey is the star and there is a good story to tell – I’ll be there with bells on.’
