Now I’m going to cry about Thomas J. again. THANKS A LOT KATE WARD!
I love that movie.
My Girl, that is. The beestings!!!
No photo? Most of us have not seen her since she was a kid.
Yay! Anna!
So excited that she is returning to acting… Enjoyed her in “In the Loop”, which is a fantastic movie, RENT IT. Even though she had a relatively minor supporting role, it was good to see her holding her own next to major players. To think, just a few years ago, she was working for Zagat restaurant surveys!
Man, Veep just keeps getting better. Chlumsky was awesome in In The Loop, so pairing her back up with Iannucci guarantees even more great stuff.
I know that a lot of you Americans love our British humour.
If you loved In The Loop try and get hold of the series The Thick Of It.
It is comedy genius!!! Iannucci + Louis-Dreyfus is my personal comedy wet dream!!!
Excited about Jennifer Jason Leigh joins Ben Stiller for the Broadway production. Will definitely go see it next year!
