Fearless. That is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Julianne Moore. Of course, the words beautiful, elegant, smart, loyal and steadfast can be used to describe her too.
I was fortunate enough to witness Julianne’s incredible skill as an actress firsthand when we worked together on a film that I directed called A Single Man. I remember looking through the camera lens before the first take and realizing that she projects something very rare: an actual luminosity that is dazzling in life and that can be captured on film. This is the difference between an actor and a star.
Julianne’s character off set is just as magnetic as her onscreen presence. She has an inner beauty that will never fade. She is down to earth and real. For my 50th birthday we went white-water rafting in Idaho, where we had no baths or toilets for five days. She seemed just as comfortable in the wilderness, stripped of the trappings of stardom, as she is in front of the camera.
Julianne is one of the greatest actresses working today, but she’s also a wonderful human being. I am honored to call her my friend.
Well that is a rather glowing description. However it seems to fit the talented individual we have been hearing about for all of these years.
There are equally glowing descriptions (And some not so glowing descriptions.) of 99 more influential Titans, Pioneers, Artists, Leaders, and Icons. These include such eclectic choices such as Lorne Michaels, Janet Yellen, Emma Watson, Amy Schumer, Chris Pratt, Tim McGraw, John Oliver, Angela Merkel, Vladimir Putin, Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton, Kim Jong Un, and even, believe it or not, Kim Kardashian along with many others.
However one name missing from the list, as it has since 2010, is Sarah Louise Palin.
But that would mean the entire Sarah Palin model for continued relevance was flawed in some way.
And that can't be right. Can it?
A gorgeous, gentle, sweet-natured, intelligent, funny, talented, giving, hard-working, healthy, centered, good mother like Julianna Moore actually portrayed Sarah Palin.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great actress she is!
What a great actress!
I might envy her beauty if she wasn't so nice. She's a fine actress, too, as her recent Oscar for 'Still Alice' attests.
DeleteYou lose again, Sarah.
When the 2012 RNC came about and $arah was told she was not invited, it was a "here's your sign" Jeff Foxworthy moment. They knew who she was.
DeleteI still remember when her camp said they weren't going to watch it and came out screaming after it aired. Hit home, did it? It gave people involved PTSD moments. The Emmy was well deserved.
I have seen her in other movies and in interviews. She is a classic beauty, inside and out, and talented.
Poor Sarah,
ReplyDeleteNo one cares. Your "past due date" has hit and is long overdue. I realize that you thought your grifting of millions could go on forever, but it can't. You remind me of a business I invested in 10 yrs ago. That business was the first investment area that my husband and I disagreed with in a long time. While my pulling out of the investment caused a 3 yr discussion with my husband I just knew I was correct in this case.
Hubby gloated a few times, showing me what was going on with the stock market until I reminded him we were looking for "long time" winners and not short term surges. 3 yrs and I was proven correct. It was a "flash in the pan", good for short term investments and anyone smart bailed after 2.
Now looking back it's kind of funny, the "flashy new stock" isn't even a blip on our investment radar anymore.
Hubby now trusts my instincts and Sarah Palin is stilll a loser.
My experience isn't any different than people sending funds to Sarah so Bristol can have a drunk abusive Saturday night. At some point the investors ( losers or not) will figure out where their dollars are headed.
Sorry Sarah, you are toast.
You had it ALL at your fingers, $arah.
DeleteWhat can we say?
BOY did you want that "elite' group,
Even took on a fake DS birth of a baby
You can't stand to this day.
You were found out to be exactly who you are.
Bye bye, baby in the corner..
I love that picture of Sarah..... they've painted and teased and pinned and sprayed her hair and slathered pancake and blush over her face and kohl all over her eyes and painted her lips.... and she still manages to look like shit. Just comes naturally.
ReplyDeleteIt's impossible to camouflage evil.
DeleteAesthetically, a large part of her unattractiveness comes from that nose - long and withchlike (especially as she ages,) with the prominent bridge hump witch will also become more prominent with age - like a wart on a witch's nose. With all her money spent on her looks, you think she would have had that taken care of.
DeleteBristol and she were attractive people until they decided to morph themselves into something they're not. For touting God, they sure don't like how He made them. Carve away!
DeleteSecret: your dislike of yourself comes from within!
I don't think the nose has much to do with it. I know a woman of Native American descent, with a hawk-beak nose that makes Palin's look downright perky by comparison. The woman I know is absolutely radiant, a beautiful person inside and out. With Palin, it is ALL about the inner ugly shining through.
DeleteIt's kinda funny to watch Ms Snowbilly Griftess slowly fall to the ground like big fat snowflakes, and get absorbed in all the rest of the fall until she's virtually unrecognizable.
ReplyDeleteI often thought she'd go out with a whimper rather than a bang. But then I also thought she'd wind up in a Montana enclave, wearing torn white robes, preaching to the few dozen minions she has left. They moan and chant, rocking back and forth as they kneel before their Queen when she deigns to emerge from her studded tent filled with crunchwrap wrappers.
At some point she won't have enough funds to even send out a primal screen mailer for more money for her PAC, and she'll shrivel even more.
Or so I hope.
I'm pleased to see Tim McGraw on that list. He's currently getting a lot of RW Hate because he's going to perform a benefit for Sandy Hook Promise. His fiddle player's best friend's child was massacred that day at Sandy Hook.
ReplyDeleteBilly Currington, a minor talent, has already quit the show, which means he'll never be any bigger than he is, because like Kenny Chesney and Brad Paisley have proved, real superstardom lies in capturing hearts ALL OVER America, not just the wingnuts.
And $arah bought TAWD a new gun in honor of it.
DeleteI despise these people.
Are you serious, 5:03 PM? Kenny Chesney and Brad Paisley speak out in concerts against this country? Go see Bette Midler, it's expensive but WELL worth your time.
DeleteRaft trip photo op for Sarah in 3 2 1....
ReplyDeleteWe're waiting, Sarah....
DeletePalin played her game with people & the media too long. And she always expected, and got, many apologies for herself & her children. I think the media finally decided she .& her family just flat weren't worth mentioning anymore due to the backlash. Plus, Palin insults people's intelligence playing her silly, little games to try to get in the news. She's just not newsworthy anymore.
ReplyDeleteSarah had a chance and she blew it. She lost in 2008, and she was still considered a rising, hot star in the GOP. All that she had to do was finish her term as governor with some nice accomplishments, make some foreign policy trips (instead of keeping her eye on Russia) and learn to work with the rest of the GOP instead of branding herself as a maverick or rogue.
ReplyDeleteShe was attractive and she had name recognition. She did a couple of lame interviews during the 2008 campaign, but if she had studied and learned something, Sarah Palin could have been one of the Republican bright lights.
Sarah Palin is and always was her own worst enemy. She was so sure that she didn't have to prepare for her interview with Katie Couric. (Sarah, the Supreme Court case that you should have remembered was Exxon Valdez. The book that you read every day is the Bible. What's so hard about that?) I once thought Sarah was intellectually lazy. I now realize that Sarah is unable to learn anything. Maybe it's ADDH. Maybe it is another learning disability. Maybe she is just lazy and stupid and can't be bothered to work hard at something when a wink and a sexy outfit attracts just as much attention.
We have watched Sarah slip from one of Time's 100 most influential to Sarah Who? She didn't show up at the well attended NRA meeting, choosing the Safari Club in the middle of Minnesota to wear her latest tacky off-the-shoulder come-hither look. That's the only place and the only way that she can get noticed these days.
Sarah may have other problems, as seen in her garbled speech in Iowa. That's not the teleprompter that failed; it was Sarah. After all these years, she still can't remember one of her speeches. (They are all the same. She still hates Obama. How hard it that to remember?) One year, Sarah was in Time Magazine as influential. She had her chance. She had more than her chances, and she blew it. Even the GOP didn't want her at their 2012 convention. She won't be running in 2016. Sarah lost in 2008. She quit in 2009. And she hasn't done anything of real importance since then.
Except get MOH to marry the overly promiscuous daughter who has major issues of his own. She knows she's done.
DeleteHey! Light bulb moment! I know I'm done in Alaska, DC, Hollywood, and and Arizona. Next stop, Cain-tucky!
Watch for the new LLC that will show up on her FEC filing. That would be MOH!
Pouty is melting. It is wonderful to watch.
ReplyDeleteindeed it is, i fukin' luv it !! ... one thing though is i don't wanna see her go out with a whimper, instead i wanna see her go out with a big BANG !! unidentifiable parts 'n pieces everywhere ...
DeleteThe c4p trolls have their hands full this weekend, with so many new people to Hate. They'll be at their keyboards 24/7... so much mewling about Presidentess Palin, and so little time....
ReplyDeleteYeah, well, with spring they'd be better to go work in their yard. At least spreading manure in nature grows something beautiful.
Delete646 oh snap
DeleteAnd with each of her ridiculous Facebook rants $arah becomes even more insignificant.
ReplyDeleteBetter that people think you're a fool, than to open your mouth and prove it. $arah, perhaps you should heed such common sense advice.
The only thing she wants is common CENTS with zeroes added on the end.
DeleteOT: Hope you got to watch Real Time tonight, Gryph!
ReplyDeleteOT but familiar sounding: Marathon Winner Disqualified For Not Running Race
ReplyDeleteTo make the list, you actually had to accomplish something.
ReplyDeleteHey Gryphen...someone burned down the Motherlode Lodge in Hatchers Pass...catch who if we can...check MSB records to see WHO owned it...to catch a mouse...
ReplyDeletebet its arson. big insurance check. where's track?
DeleteTime magazine s full of shit.
ReplyDeleteYou know, Julianne Moore is a spectacular actress, and no question beautiful inside and out. But among the 100 most influential people? Really?
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one thinking that just maybe the choice had something to do with Our Sarah? And I don't just mean Moore's brilliant Game Change portrayal. I mean more like an intended slap in the face to the person she portrayed.
--mathgeek
Julianne is not only a stunningly beautiful woman, but she's the definition of a great actress. I followed the "Cannibal" series, read the books and watched the movies, when they cast her instead of Jody Foster, I had some serious reservations, but she did a more than spectacular job. I'll never forget her interview after "Game Change" when asked how she prepared to play Sarah Palin. She had a kind of half smile and spoke of the hours on the make up chair, and the hours of emptying her brain of anything and everything. The audience laughed out loud and she stopped them and insisted they try it without coming off looking like a zombie. She said it on Kelly Ripka's show, and again on Charlie Rose.
