The Hollywood Reporter's Roundtable - The Actors *

Updated 1/14/2019
Congrats! You've just reached one of my most widely visited posts. I get it, lots of us want to hear what actors think about acting straight from their own lips. I've got a hunch if you find this post from 2013 interesting, you'll also find this year's more current video noteworthy too so I'm including it below. Cheers!
Last Sunday I shared The Hollywood Reporter's Writers Roundtable, a lively discussion centered around the process and challenge of scripting stories for film, be it an original idea or adapting from another source. It was an interesting bunch of writers responsible for some of this years most talked about films including George Clooney and partner Grant Heslov (Monuments Men), Julie Delpey (Before Midnight), Nicole Holofcener (Enough Said), John Ridley (12 Years a Slave) and Danny Strong (Lee Daniel's The Butler).
This week I want to share THR's Actors panel. Watch as Stephen Galloway, THR's longtime moderator, facilit…

If it's Sunday ... Sharp Objects is on my mind

Is Amma really Adora’s daughter? Or is Camille her real mother?To be honest, Sharp Objects is on my mind every day. I’m a member of the Sharp Objects facebook group and like a lot of you, we have all kinds of theories.

One of the most intriguing is that Camille (Amy Adams), not Adora (Patricia Clarkson) is actually the mother of Amma (Eliza Scanlen). Amma, of course, is the sly, little thing that Adora dresses like a child with pretty little dresses and bows in her hair. At home she plays with her dollhouse—a replica of the mansion—but out in public, she skates around in what she calls her civvies. Short shorts and skimpy tops, the way most young teenage girls do.

My fellow posters on the FB group, including Jamie Cox (below), note there are hints Camille is actually Amma’s mother vis a vis when Camille is asked by the victim’s brother if she herself has ever gotten over the loss—referring to the loss of her sister Marion—Camille responds "of a child?" and he corrects her, sa…

12 Paris Locations that Fans of the Classic "Gigi" Won't Want to Miss #book2movie

Gigi and Gaston catch everyone's eyes as they enter world-famous Maxim's
Today's Dreaming of France post is a reprise of my longest and most popular Dreaming of France entry. A trip through the Parisian locations used in the classic film Gigi, based on the book by Colette, and one of my favorite film classics. Originally published 3/30/2015

"Gigli?" my son asks, wondering why I'd be at all interested in the Ben Affleck, J-Lo disaster, the epitome of a bad romance, made even worse because its epic failure has been immortalized on film.

"No! Not Gigli. Gigi. Very famous movie musical? Takes place in Paris during the Belle Epoque? Won 9 Oscars? Starred Leslie Caron and Louis Jourdan? Vincent Minelli directed?"

"Hmmm" he nods, a shrugging respect for the director, meaning maybe he'll watch it with me one day especially as he's also curious about the Belle Epoque and wouldn't mind going back to Paris and getting a good look at Maxim…
