Well, aren’t angels supposed to be androgynous? Casting certainly gets kudos for that pick.

[Gay State Conservative]

“Open marriage” is just a synonym for “pig” in my thesaurus.

“It has truly never been my intention to be a performer, and I think it’s probably best that I stop performing pretty soon and start writing,” she says, in total seriousness, referring to the ambition to be a poet she abandoned while a student at Cambridge University in the early 1980s. (She has recently published several pieces of criticism in the journal Critical Quarterly.)

those who cant do...critique it!

[dfwgator]

But she was acting.

Playing a witch wasn't much of a stretch for her.

[lewisglad]

But its 'for the children!' (sarcasm button off)

[Turbo Pig]

Welcome to Opposite Land!

Isaiah 5:20 (KJV): Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Look at all the social, moral, physical and legal problems that emanate out of the relatively small community of big time actor/show biz people and tell me the above is not true.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

There is nothing even remotely attractive about that man/woman

[lewisglad]

[Old Professer]

I feel like I just awakened from a crepuscular dream-sequence where I was a crust of bread being dragged through a cold plate of sauce bearnaise...

[Paved Paradise]

The reason they talk about the joys is because they are desperately trying to convince themselves. I wonder if she’ll be equally joyful when she contracts some nasty disease.

[tajgirvan]

Just another Hollyweirdo that thinks it is so enlightened. Sick in the heart & the head if you ask me.

[lewisglad]

It does sound like she is convincing herself that that it is a great deal

[Landru]

"'Open marriage' is just a synonym for 'pig' in my thesaurus."

HA!!
I've been saying the same thing about the term, "Adult Bookstore", for years.

Guess I'll have to change it to H1N1.

[Constitutions Grandchild]

Yup, that’s her. Her performance was the highlight of that movie — for me — at least.

[Chickensoup]

She was also the Evil One in Passion of Christ

[Constitutions Grandchild]

Really? I have a confession to make. My boys (hubby and son) took me to see the Passion. I can't ever watch when they hurt Him. It doesn't matter what movie it is — Jesus of Nazareth made me hyperventilate. My mother had just died,and I had spent the past 2 and a half years tending her (she was bed fast and wheelchair bound). I'm not making any excuses, but...well...I fell asleep when I shut my eyes so I couldn't see. I think that is the first time I have ever fallen asleep sitting up (lots since then, but it was the first).

So, while I technically did see it...I didn't. :-( So, I guess I missed her.

No, actually that was Rosalinda Celentano. I doubt a person like Swinton would want to be, or would be allowed to be, part of a project like that.
