...knowing that I am an insincere, cold-hearted, organic food-eating snob with commitment issues. Facebook leaves me feeling as though I’m lying to the world, or at least to the people who are stalking my Facebook profile. By ignoring such a huge piece of my makeup, Facebook is effectively repressing me. I am sure that I am not alone in my alienation. Besides, the prevalence of the positive on Facebook.com is getting old. I don’t care that Suzy Smith’s primary interest is “chilling with all her favorite...
SPEAKING OF STEREOTYPES, this provocative series attacks them using tricks of unreality entertainment: makeup and prosthetics. A black and a white family each get made over to live life as members of the other's race. As illuminating as their undercover experiences (a white stranger casually shares racist opinions with the "white" father) are their conflicting interpretations of racial nuances (was a salesman nice to the "black" father out of friendliness--or fear that he was going to steal something?). This is an extreme--and edifying--makeover indeed...
...theme for the games is "Passion Lives Here," so signs and logos for the game are dominated by red. The opening ceremony - held at 8 p.m. Torino time, and therefore six hours before it was shown on NBC on the East Coast ? used 122 makeup artists, 70 flame-thrower nozzles, 4,400 pounds of fireworks and 6,500 costumes. It was very Italian ? loud and somewhat chaotic, especially by comparison to the relatively sober 2002 winter games in Salt Lake, where a solemn ceremony began with the display of a tattered American flag recovered from the wreckage of the World...
...themselves of these two terrors. The film is extremely visually arresting; its creative team dresses the characters in brightly colored clothes and perfectly fills the Brown house with quirky clutter. Both Lansbury and Staunton give gamely over-the-top performances, and Thompson shines as always, even beneath her disfiguring makeup. The initially tasty film, however, dissolves in the end into a sticky mess of saccharine sweetness, involving a Cinderella-esque union between Firth and a pretty servant. This plotline is strangely reminiscent of the Firth storyline from “Love Actually,” when he falls in love...
...which is what her role here is. Huffman has a distinct shot: beloved in three strong acting communities (Chicago, New York and L.A.), blending mainstream work (in TV's Desperate Housewives) with indie stuff (TransAmerica), plus she plays a sympathetic, slightly freakish outsider, in a role requiring lots of makeup. Oscar loves that: see recent awards for Nicole Kidman in The Hours and Theron in Monster. In fact, I've just talked myself into saying she'll snatch the prize from till-now front-runner Reese Witherspoon, whose turn as June Carter Cash is lovely but clearly a secondary role...
