I know it should be perfectly obvious that actors can transform— that’s the entire job—nevertheless I’m gobsmacked by how much Jodi Turner-Smith disappeared completely in the role of Greer. And whomever in another kinja said this woman should be Storm when Marvel reboots the X-Men is completely right.
Frank is a fucking dipshit. He was married to Mare, he should know that if she comes in wanting to speak to you right now, and you’re with a group of people, you don’t blow her off; you promptly excuse yourself and go talk to her outside (like way outside), because she will make a scene.

Ruffalo sparks joy and so does this delightful human. Read more

So, this took the crown from Top Gun?
It’s good. You see “Jennifer Coolidge” and expect her to be quirky and wacky, but the mother isn’t wacky at all. It’s a very subtle performance.
She is so good. Has anyone seen her in Bad Lieutenant? The way she can take a couple lines and make a whole world out of it is—well, very few actors can do that!
