Sandra Bullock

[twitches]

I have always loved Sandra. I think she's gorgeous and funny. However, that outfit she wore on Leno is atrocious.

Yeah, shes great. But I wish she'd star in some decent movies though. Premenition, Lake House, Miss Congeniality, Two Weeks Notice were all so very awful. I think her last good movie was Murder By Number (shut up I like it) and that was in 2002.

Well, there was a tiny, low budget movie called Crash.

But, you're absolutely correct. I liked Premonition even though I dozed off a a particular time in the movie; however, I think she's gotten to that point in her career that she can afford to make some sappy films and some stupid ones as well.

Perhaps she enjoys playing supporting roles in movies such as Crash and Infamous where she was terrific as Harper Lee. It wasn't in Katharine Keener's class but she was good just as well.

Everyone has been saying that for well over ten years. I've seen an old Parade magazine interview with her from mid-1996 in which she declares that she's going to start taking her career seriously and be more choosy about her movie roles.

*musing* You know, if SB had been cast in the Trinity role in the Matrix. . . . *voice trails off dreamily*

I like some of SB's movies -- The Lake House, The Net (wow, that was so long ago), Miss Congeniality -- but I don't like some of her other movies -- While You Were Sleeping.

But whenever that movie comes on TV, I watch it anyway. She's just so friendly and sweet without being saccharine.

SB's such a mainstay she could probably make a bazillion crappy movies and I would still like her.

I don't understand why she spends time producing a show for George Lopez, but won't spend it hiring someone to write her a good movie or two.

In fact, there's a quite a lot of these actresses who start production companies and then never come through for themselves.

Yeah, but I thought Crash sucked. She was good in it, but the movie itself was too heavy handed for my liking.

She's responible for the crapfest that is the George Lopez show?
I may never forgive her for that. I hate that show.

Aw, While You Were Sleeping is one of my guilty pleasures. I love Bill Pullman, too, so that helps. I also loved The Lake House -- I know its plot was really questionable, but I'm a sucker for timeshifting and Keanu. What can I say?

While you were sleeping is my guilty pleasure. I loved that film and it's one of the films I really like Sandy in. Sometimes it just seems like she sleepwalks in her films and talks so monotone it drives me nuts.
