Ok I will give you that. I was thinking old cute nose.

8 years diff in those pics, though. Most women look a little worse after 8 years, nose job or not. redheads not really my thing, but, she's still awful cute

That before and after pictures comparison is bogus. Different lighting, different cast, looks like different ppi, different contrast, different radius and sharpness level for the mask... Different ANGLE.

I'm not convinced she had a nose job. You can see the dimple in the tip in both pics. And her nose has always been pretty tiny.

NOT EVIDENCE. NOT CONVINCED.

Do you have any idea how much just he depth of field setting on a standard DSLR camera can change the way a orrsin's face looks? It can make someone's very bone structure look completely different. Seriously.

Amy Adams had an adorable (and little!) nose, and always has had.

Also, if her nose did change, that can happen to people in their twenties. Happened to me. I used to have kind of a little turn-up nose when I was 18, now I have this big bony thing.

My nose has been broken a few times though. Story for another day.

I find Amy Adams intoxicating. I would do crazy stuff to her. Like ask her if I could take her to the spring formal in a Deep South town. Oh yeah.

Sweaty after parties would ensue if she permitted it and was feeling comfortable and in full control of her faculties.

Oh yeah baby.

Seriously though, she's a goddamn angel.

I know. I love her.

Redheads are my thing. But that aside. She is just great.

Watched Arrival tonight. Agree w Sev... Amy has the usual cute nose.

Great movie btw.

i've never been overly attracted to amy adams but she acts very well and i like that a lot in her. particularly fantastic in american hustle and the fighter i thought.

recently watched

CHLOE - an atom egoyan directed rewrite/remake/reshoot of NATHALIE which really improves upon the original. woman hires a hooker to spy on her cheating husband, trouble ensue. while not very original in principle, it was a good sexy spectacle with a good cast-- particularly julianne moore i think blows fanny ardant out of the water because she actually moves her face when she feels something.

THREE KINGS - darker and less funny than i remember it but i still like it

VENUS IN FUR - it's a roman polanski adaptation of a play about a theatre adaptation of the sacher-masoch novel. mathieu amalric and emmanuelle seigner are great in it. not insignificant is the fact that seigner is polanski's wife and amalric looks a lot like polanski-- something going on there. it's a good play and a good filmed version.

POOTIE TANG - i expected this to be total crap but actually liked it. total WTF movie with many absurdities. good laughs.

INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE - the fucker breaks everything he touches! please keep that looter away from our digs. the editing is excellent though. funny thing, robert vaughn has a part here and in pootie tang as well. it was unexpectedly a robert vaughn weekend.

o that game is back on. fuck leipzig lol.

damn leipzig won

more:

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. it's not bad for the genre but it suffers on rewatch because whatever thing was there the first time is now evident--oh yes, the slow knife. the absolute best thing about it, and enduring the test of time, is anne hathaway bent over her motorcycle, which is rather exploitative, but instinct beats ideology and i'm only human.

getting ready to watch REPO MAN again, because it's so funny. the criterion disc looks prety great-- a very 80s menu (photocopy + neon green)

Literally just watched this! I'd always been reluctant to watch it, but what a great Sunday evening film to watch. And Amy Adams, god, she's so hot in this it's just daft.

Yup!

Rewatched this on a whim last night. God damn it's good. Really made an impression when I first saw it, and it holds right up.

^^ o man. that movie. yeah...

on my queue for this weekend. third man!

sa da tay. my damies

ha ha ha

pootie tang!!

Moonlight. It was pretty fascinating. It had a bunch of things that generally turn me off in movies, but held my interest, I guess mostly based on the acting. Up for a bunch of awards. I'm guessing it's going to get them.

I haven't seen this yet, but 'be read about it and it looks pretty incredible. I'm kind of steeling myself to watch it because I hear it's quite heartbreaking, and I'm not in a great place for depressing stuff right now. But from what I can tell, it's the most artistically nature film among the nominees. Also, it's doubly relevant to the current social environment.

I'm rooting for either this or Arrival (it's high time Oscar gives props to an intelligent science fiction film, after shutting out ... let's see... Clockwork Orange, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, and Dark Knight among many MANY others.)

But I'm sure La La Land or Manchester by the Sea will win. I love Ryan Gosling, but he's a sturdy and ambitious actor, like Christian Bale... he'll win for something some day. I'd rather it not be for a fucking musical.

(Note that I haven't seen ANY of the nominated films.)

it wasn't that depressing to me. It had some pretty standard plot devices, but used them in a way that seemed pretty original. Good sound track,too, which I always appreciate. You do need to see it. It's a much better movie than Arrival, IMO

Apples and oranges, man

Watched Taxi Driver for the first time today. Really fucking awesome movie, loved the cinematography and all. But the ending kind of annoyed me?? The music just didn't fit that scene after the shoot up when the cops arrive. And it would've been perfect if the movie would have just ended after he did the whole bang finger thinghy. But like I said, really awesome movie.

Oh man, you need to find some of the essays that have been written about various interpretations of that ending. Not trying to sound condescending, like, "you need to read up on blah blah blah." I'm just saying, there are some interesting schools of thought on Taxi Driver, and you might find an explanation for the very thing you found annoying if you read the right stuff. I think Scorsese was EXTREMELY meticulous about exactly what parts of the film he wanted to linger in people's heads, and I there are some interesting ideas about the ending just on Wikipedia.

But yes, Taxi Driver is a masterclass in, like, three different kinds of filmmaking at least. It's detached from the kind of "GoodFella genre" that he's created — Mean Streets, GoodFellas, Casino, The Departed, Wolf of Wall Street — so it's odd that it feels kind of like the definitive Scorsese film, even after all this time.

Good Fellas is my personal favorite, and that is due in no small part to THIS FUCKING SCENE.

One of the best uses of a pop song music in the history of American cinema.

Y'all are surely going to know what scene I'm talking about before you even click the link. That's how fucking awesome it is.
