This Is Me, Winning At Life
Woop! One book off my reading list!
I just finshed Notes On A Scandal, and it was pretty damn good. I love stuff with warped, unreliable narrators, and it raises some pretty interesting questions about gender roles and consent and responsibility and sex. And stuff. Anyway, read it if you like that sort of thing. And now I'm excited to see the film. Cat Blanchett as a floozy? Yes please. Judi Dench as a scary repressed schoolmarm? You knows it. Bill Nighy? Always.
I have also been really rather responsible, in that I've read some of the essays on Moby Dick from which I shall steal ideas, and I've learnt my Italian verbs. Haven't washed my hair yet, but you can't expect miracles.
Also, two of my best girlies are coming back to The Fax tomorrow! Emma, Wifey, you have been sorely missed.
Plus, BAFTAs tonight! I don't have E! on my cheapcheapcheap TV, but Louise has sworn to tape the red carpet stuff so we shall see The Barrowman in all his presenting glory (Dirty!).
Okay, now cover your eyes.
It's another meme. I have no self-control. Favourite Actresses, stolen from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

JULIANNE MOORE
First Noticed Her As: Dr. Allison Reed in Evolution. Shut up. I've seen her in way better things since, this is just the first thing I saw her in.... Shut up.
I've Seen Her In __ Roles: 10
My Favorite Role : Gaah, too many. I love her restraint in Far From Heaven and The Hours, but I'm going to have to say Linda Partridge, in Magnolia. She broke my fucking heart. The 'Wise Up' sequence, where she's crying in the car? Incredible.
CATE BLANCHETT
First Noticed Her As: Elizabeth. It's been said before, and I'll say it again: Fucking Paltrow.
I've Seen Her In __ Roles: 8
My Favourite Role: Still Elizabeth although her Galadriel is phenomenal. I'm unbelievably excited for The Golden Age.
KATE WINSLET
First Noticed Her As: Marianne Dashwood in Sense & Sensibility. I was on the bandwagon before Titanic. I rule.
I've Seen Her In __ Roles: 12
My Favourite Role: Clementine, in Eternal Sunshine. She's so sharp and funny and completely messed up, I love it. But, I have to give a special mention to Juliet in Heavenly Creatures, for being so awesome so young.
JULIE DELPY
First Noticed Her As: Celine in Before Sunrise
I've Seen Her In __ Roles: Only 2, but she makes a big impression in some of my favourite films ever.
My Favourite Role: I lovelovelove Three Colours White, but Before Sunrise/ Before Sunset make me so happy, and the way she shows the differences in Celine over the years just seems so authentic and honest.
BILLIE PIPER
First Noticed Her As: A 'really cool' (I was 8) teenage singing sensation. Acting wise, Slutty Alison in the update of The Miller's Tale.
I've Seen Her In __ Roles: 4, but one of those was Rose Tyler
My Favourite Role: Rose Tyler. She completely smashed the preconceptions of everyone who said she couldn't do it, she won over an entire nation and she made me cry. Twice.
