She still hasn’t apologized for that mediocre “The huntsman: winters war” movie. Although that wolfman remake she starred in with Benecio Del Toro, Hugo Weaving and Anthony Hopkins was pretty watchable.

I’ve never seen this actress in a movie, but she will be in the new movie about Robert Oppenheimer.

Highly recommend “Sicario” , great movie, and “Edge of Time”.

Was it good? I think this is a new one by Christopher Nolan, and she plays his wife.

I once read an article by a woman who said she had watched so many movies, she thought it would be easier for her to beat up a man. Then she got into a fight with one, and she was surprised how it turned out.

Very good. Dwight Schultz played Oppenheimer, and Bonnie Bedelia played his wife. Paul Newman was General Groves.

Dear Emily:

This is called “Type Casting”. It is the norm in Hollywood and been so for at least a century.

There are other jobs. But they don’t pay as well. Count your blessings.

“Mitts” were in use from the mid-1700s. You could sew while keeping most of your hand warm. I wore gloves with the fingers cut off as a typist in the 80s!

Me, too. I think we have the DVD: I should watch it again!

She’s an amazing, talented actor. One of my favorite movies with her is Edge of Tomorrow. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a must-see. Very underrated sci-fi alien flick.

For General Groves, I liked Brian Dennehy in “The Manhattan Project” better than the Paul Newman Groves.

We just watched her new show, the Western “The English” a bit hard to follow at times, but worth the watch in the end.

Her Husband John Krasinski (the office / Jack Ryan) is probably a lefty but I have seen a few things to indicate he isn’t a FAR LEFT loon.

I can see that. When Brian Dennehy was good, he was very good.

She was in “The Devil Wears Prada” with Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Stanley Tucci. It was a movie that was out when my kids were in HS, and I often watched things with them.

Yeah, but on the frontier? When you’re hard-riding and shooting and lassoing and drinking and reloading?
