I'mn not surprised, she strikes me as someone with a great sense of humour. This movie is GOLD.

she strikes me as someone who has been in a lot of bad plays

I would think almost everyone in show business has been in a lot of bad plays. They have to pay the rent after all, and scripts of staggering genius don't turn up in the post every week.

I knew I always liked that girl.

Kate Winslet: Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward got away with it. You put enormous pressure on yourself. I don't think that Sam and I would disagree on a lot of things in that situation. Even if I did disagree with him, I would still do what he wanted to do. It's very much part of my job to respect whatever vision the director has, even if I think it's crazy. But I think about what it would be like, and I honestly think that we would have such a laugh. No one makes me laugh like Sam. We're obsessed with Waiting for Guffman. I drive Sam mad because I do all the dialogue, all the songs, do all the dance moves.

G: You should be in a Christopher Guest movie.

KW: I would absolutely die to be in a Christopher Guest movie! But I'm sine they'd never have me. I'm too much of a face, and he likes to have those kind of indie actors. Titanic being the exception, I would completely consider myself to be an indie actor! This is going to make me sound like a nerdy fan.

Hurray for Kate!

Talent, brains and good taste all in one beautiful package!

I would love to see her doing Waiting for Guffman dialogue! And songs! Aaaaa penny for your thoughts... She is a great comedienne and should SO be in a Christopher Guest film.

reply

What about her doing a drunken Sheila discussing Ron's surgery? I would die!

That's so cool to know. I can't say I'm surprised. Also I can actually see her being pretty good in a Guest movie. I saw her on Extras with Ricky Gervais a while ago and she was playing a dirty nun or something and she was actually pretty funny.

I love the Internet.
