Bri....great idea and list...
....now I'd love to read the warm and fuzzies. :D What in particular is it about her is it that you love? I know she's talented, but....What is it that she does that speaks to you? The way she portrays a chartacter? Her voice? Her warmth? Her humor? Why is Raising Arizona your favorite picture with her? I think this is interesting, because it's also about chemistry. Everyone relates to what an actor/actress (even people in everyday life) on how they present themselves differently. I'll post my own list tomorrow. Nice thread.~ :) |

Nice thread.~ :) Let's see...Holly Hunter became one of my favorites with her role in Raising Arizona. She played somebody kooky, quaint, and still cute as hell. I loved her exaggerated accent and how easily she could break down into over-the-top sobs with a blink of an eye. She's also lovely. I remember when I saw Alway's for the first time. The scene where she comes into the lounge wearing the pretty white dress...wow. Yes, I think she's a beautiful woman. But there's more to her than her beauty. In a lot of her roles, she doesn't depend on it at all, and that shows me...no, proves to me...that she's the real deal. There just isn't anything that I don't like about her. Oh yeah, I also have a lot of respect for her because she is aging gracefully; no plastic...and she's hot! |

Philip Seymour Hoffman after Bunny having offered The Dude a blow job.Birth date and location: 07/23/67 Fairport, New York, United States Favorite Movie: The Big Lebowski Least Favorite Movie: Twister http://ddraven.tripod.com/miscpics/dusty9.gif Favorite Performance: The Talented Mr Ripley Most Overrated: Flawless (not because of him though) Most Underrated: Hard to say... When a Man Loves a Woman Can't even remember that he was in that one, but I like the film. Favorite Line: Hard to say. It's mostly how he says it, not what he says. But I think it's hillarious when he as Brandt in The Big Lebowski says: "Ah hahahahaha! Wonderful woman. We're all, we're all very fond of her. Very free-spirited" Other memorable roles in great movies: As "Young Craps Player" in Hard Eight (1996) a.k.a. Sydney As Scotty J. in Boogie Nights (1997) As Allen in Happiness (1998) As Phil Parma in Magnolia (1999) As Joseph Turner White in State and Main (2000) As Lester Bangs in Almost Famous (2000) As Dean Trumble in Punch Drunk Love (2002) As Jacob Elinsky in 25th Hour (2002) |
