Teri looks so hot that she could start fires. What a gorgeous 39.
Well, it's no secret that she's a lesbian. Portia "came out" while she was on "Ally McBeal" or earlier.

Man, I love that pic.
I have a feeling that we all feel like that guy sometimes on FR, and I did earlier, but I wouldn't trade FR for anything.
Good Globes, Good fun, Good night.
Well, you have to admit that Johnny Depp is really quite a good actor.
Remember this is the same guy who played Ed Wood, Captain Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissorhands, and the odd guy (can't recall the character's name) in Benny and Joon.
The only think those roles have in common is how strange the characters were, but I rarely found myself thinking, "that's Johnny Depp." He's really good at disapearing into his roles.
On the other hand, while I really like watching Kevin Spacey, he's always identifiable as himself, at least in all the movies I've seen him in (I haven't seen the movie where he plays Bobby Darin).

RE: "Manns best work is Thief & Collateral."
Don't forget Heat and The Last of the Mohicans (whatever became of Madeline Stowe anyway?). Those were pretty cool films-- tough, violent action sequences for sure, but with a certain skill and heart to the pictures as well.
Ali was okay (Will Smith was better than the movie itself), and the Insider featured some great performances from Russell Coowe, Al Pacino, and Chris Plummer as Mike Wallace (though it also boasted a bit of a silly political agenda).
Since we've mentioned all of his films I'll throw in Manhunter. I just watched it yesterday and it's something else. He took the basic materials of a pulpy thriller and police procedural and transformed them into what's virtually a work of abstract art.
I'm still partial to Spacey's very brief turn in Seven, as
***SPOILER***
the menacing, cryptic, quasi-religious serial murderer John Doe. Very scary, and he does so much with so little screen time (just the climax, really) that it is a truly beautiful thing.
Runner-up is the "cripple" himself, Spacey's Oscar-winning role as Verbal Kint (or is it Keyzer Soze?) in the twisting thriller The Usual Suspects.
Although he gave another one of his great performances in it, I never agreed with the critical consensus on American Beauty. Personally, I thought that the film was an overcooked, pretentious mess masquerading as high art (a plastic bag floating in the wind as a symbol for finding beauty in simplicity? What a crock).
I know what you mean... I've posted it more than a few times. I love it, too. Hope I don't get in trouble for using "profanity". ;-D
Spacey became insufferable when he became famous. In somehing like Glengarry Glen Ross he served the film and didn't give off the sense of 'What a star I am!'.
Ohh, sorry I overlooked that one. Yes, Manhunter was a crackling thriller as well as a detailed character study.
Remember Brian Cox as Hannibal Lektor (spelled differently in that one)? A different, more reserved take on the beloved cannibal than Anthony Hopkins legendary turn, Cox's performance is no less riveting than Hopkins was later on, and should have put his name into Oscar consideration when Manhunter came out (unfortunately, the entire film was overlooked).
Brian Cox is one of our greatest character actors, and is never less than absolutely convincing, whether he is playing a lousy screenwriter (his cameo in adaptation), an ex-fire-fighter who puts pictures of 9/11 victims on his barroom walls (in Spike Lee's 25th Hour) or a maniacle villain bent on world domination and genocide (X-Men 2).
You know, I think I really enjoy talking movies with you. You know your stuff, and I respect that.
RE: "Hope I don't get in trouble for using "profanity". ;-D
Right with you, man. F*** 'em.
(a joke, PLZE don't ban me).
Brian Cox was wonderful as Dennis Quaid's father in "The Rookie" - he took me from the gamut of really disliking him to finally feeling sympathetic and understanding toward him.
People think she's conservative because she's a big Israel supporter.
Glengarry Glen Ross...YES! If I could, I'd buy you a beer for that one.
Yeah, Spacey was great in that one, as was the entire cast: Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Ed Harris, Alan Arkin...ALL at the top of their games when spitting out the electric dialogue of America's greatest living playwright, David Mamet. Whatever you think of the man's politics (and I think little of them), Alec Baldwin was DYNAMITE in his part, and he stole the movie.
Remember: "Coffee is for closers".
Baldwin was the weak link in that group really. That part was written specifically for the film. It wasn't in the play that opened (and is set)in my beloved Chicago in the mid 80s and won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Portman is nothing more than Julia Roberts with a college liberal education and 20 yrs younger.
Israel has many big Jewish supporters here and most are liberals...like Portman.
Not to be confused with the 20% or so who are Conservative.
She's also a lot better looking and seems much classier. And a better actress as well though that's not saying much.
