Bumping her thread now that Gone Girl is finally out and it seems the Oscar buzz was warranted.
Thought she was brilliant as Amy but then I've always liked her since her turn as Jane in P&P.

My only association with her was remembering she was in An Education. I liked her in Gone Girl, though I thought the book was dumb and predictable. As a girl with hooded eyes, I love seeing a pretty girl with hooded eyes.

I thought she was the best part of An Education. That said, I have to think it's the whole "English Rose" thing that has people raving about her beauty cuz from here she looks like a thinner Jewel Staite. And I don't ever remember anybody going on about how stunning Jewel Staite is.

She dated the guy who played Bingley before he came out of the closet.
Her kid has a weird name. Maybe she really loves Star Wars?
That's all I got...

Re: Reese Witherspoon producing but not starring--apparently the director told her that she was not what he had in mind for Amy, and Reese (graciously or reluctantly, depending on whose account you believe) acquiesced to his vision for the cast.

Re: Reese Witherspoon producing but not starring--apparently the director told her that she was not what he had in mind for Amy, and Reese (graciously or reluctantly, depending on whose account you believe) acquiesced to his vision for the cast. I don't think it's a huge diss to Reese in this case; I can see why a director would want to go with someone who wasn't a huge star already for a role like Amy, and could also project more of a...Goop vibe, someone who would seem out of place away from the cosmopolitan city bubble. I had to look up Jewel Staite and even in the pics of her as a blonde, not really seeing much of a resemblance with Rosamund, though obviously mileage varies. Solo kind of went under the radar as far as WTF celebrity baby names go, though she had a lower profile a couple of years ago (though "Audio Science" is probably better known than Shannyn Sossamon ever was). If she slaps something like Bear Blaze or Venti on the kid this time, it's going to get a lot more attention.

Not liking the gown at all. Feels like an accident waiting to happen. Also, did she not eat after giving birth?

I didn't like the dress either. I might have liked it if the straps were a bit wider.

The top isn't fitted to her bust quite right, and the amount skin it shows and how it does it is really inelegant. Oof.
