Harrison Ford? Love. Diane Keaton? Love. Rachel McAdams? Love. Patrick Wilson? Hello, pretty.
What’s not to love about this movie? I have very high hopes. Very high.
I’m sorry, it’s true. I seriously can’t wait.

Ahhhh, me too!!! I’ve seen the preview about 3 times now, and each time it makes me more excited. Not to mention my own personal reasons for wanting to see it, due to my weird and brief sojourn working for The Today Show. The previews look like it might be a pretty darn good representation of what it is like on that set. and Diane Keaton and Harrison Ford on screen together? Counting the days!
(for that as well as Burlesque, I’m not ashamed to say, although perhaps I should be).
Patrick Wilson’s lips are a natural treasure. He should insure them at Lloyds of London for a bazillion dollars. Have you seen “Little Children?” Good lord. ::fans self::
Also, I love how CRANKY Harrison Ford looks in the preview. It is exactly the direction he should be going in. He is his most endearing when he is CRANKY.
Seriously wish we could all see it together! I want to watch Lisa swoon over Patrick Wilson. Sheila and I can swoon over Hottie McCrankypants.
I do so LOVE a sexy crankypants.
Sheila — Oh, and “Burlesgue” for me too! Another “can’t wait”! Be not ashamed!
Lisa — “Little Children.” What a FANTASTIC movie. Patrick Wilson is so good — and pretty — Winslet is awesome, but Jackie Earle Haley just KILLS it for me. He’s so damn good in it.
A cast this good (kinda like Burlesque) is like a magnet. Totally have a girl crush on Rachel McAdams.
Agreed. About this AND Burlesque.
I am also now going to forever think of Harrison Ford as Hottie McCrankypants. Which I can totally live with. He IS hot when he’s a grump.
I have a Patrick Wilson thing, too, though. And a Rachel McAdams girlcrush. And I read this awesome interview with Diane Keaton a couple of years ago while sitting in a waiting room… and I’m certainly a fan of her work (well, everything except “Because I Said So” – which gave me hives. Well, except for Stephen Collins who was his usual absurdly yummy self.) but I was just SO impressed with all these things she had to say about her life and her attitude about relationships. In fact, I was so psyched about it that I had to restrain myself from telling my doctor that I had just decided Diane Keaton was just about the coolest person to ever walk the face of the earth.
Marisa – I have the same thing about Keaton. What a career. What an individual. There are clips of her on Youtube winning the Oscar for Annie Hall and her OUTFIT. Obviously, the Oscars weren’t as designer-label conscious then (“who are you wearing” being the most important question on the red carpet – I loved it when Sharon Stone showed up at the Oscars wearing a tight black T shirt from The Gap. I loved it when Anjelina Jolie was wearing something she found in a vintage store and didn’t even know who it was by. Take THAT, Ryan Seacrest!!) – but Keaton looks like a high school teacher, or a college professor – and is delightful. She always went her own way. I am so glad she is having a resurgence of her career, with these great roles now.
Oh, definitely. She has such a strong style and sense of self. People like that fascinate me. People who, in spite of their celebrity and the pressure to put together a certain type of image instead do interviews and show up on red carpets wearing what THEY want to wear and talking like real people who have flaws and vulnerability and some kind of perspective!
She was doing this interview and she just talked so openly about her own difficulty in relationships and how she has let them swallow her up in past and how she has to maintain balance and being married might not be for her because she struggles so much with that and I was just SO IMPRESSED that she was comfortable and confident and willing to be so HUMAN in this interview.
It makes her grace on screen and the intelligent sparkle that always shines through her that much more impressive. Also, how do you get to be in your mid sixties and not look significantly younger than your actual age, dress like a stylish but quirky professor, and still be freaking GORGEOUS? That impresses me, too. If I wore tweeds and suits with wide pant legs and monochromatic outfits with tutlenecks…. I would never be able to also be that sexy. It’s impressive.
Marisa – I know, about her looks – she looks fantastic. I am very moved by her honesty about her relationships, and it gives me hope that she – a fantastic woman – has also never been married, like myself. I do think sometimes, “Okay, if she could hack it … I can.”
It was amazing – at the AFI Tribute to Warren Beatty, her speech was the most astonishingly moving of all of them. Beatty actually, at one point, looks shattered by it. She GOES somewhere in her speech. She lets herself remember. She gives that memory back to Warren. Of course half the women talking on that stage had slept with Beatty – and she, in her flouncy skirt and grey hair – looked so much better, so much yOUNGER than, say, Faye Dunaway (another actress I do love) – with all of her work done on her face, and her Real Housewives of Orange County haircut. Faye Dunaway, once a true and stark original, now looks like everybody else. The look in Hollywood is so homogenized today, it’s depressing. If you think of the Golden Age, with people like Hepburn and Stanwyck and Carole Lombard and Myrna Loy – these women are all gorgeous and thin – but you would never mistake one for the other. They were each so much THEMSELVES. And now … those who maintain their individuality are the wild cards. Meryl Streep is doing it. Susan Sarandon is doing it. Keaton is doing it. They are resisting the call to iron it all out into a homogenized look.
And Keaton, with her wrinkles, glasses, and grey hair, looked so FABULOUS at the AFI tribute – the best-looking woman on that stage. Okay, maybe not better-looking than Halle Berry … but still: she looked amazing. I love that: we have these “relationships” with movie stars that we love, we love them, we relate to them – and it hurts when they start to change their look so drastically that we no longer recognize them. It’s a betrayal. Hepburn is a great example of someone who refused to do that. She allowed us to love and recognize her right up till the end, wrinkles and shaking head and all.
Here’s the Diane Keaton clip, her tribute to Warren Beatty. It is killer -a totally private moment between these two once-lovers … a real moment between two old old friends and colleagues.
