Even More Naomi Watts

A few days ago, I posted about the Naomi Watts celebration known as King Kong. Well, now she's going to get a second post. I think this puts her into a tie with the Red Ranger/Slavco from that VH1 reality series that I watched occasionally over the summer for "most posted about individual". Forget that I mentioned that.



Anywizzle, as I vegetated over my winter break from college, I decided that an excellent way to waste time would be to watch some of the content on the HBO Video OnDemand station that comes with my digital cable subscription (Time Warner baby!). This was a good idea until I started waking up at 3pm every afternoon; so I ended up getting through only two movies. One prominently featured Naomi Watts, and the other starred Nicole Kidman, who is pretty much the same person.

I'm going to throw this lame one-liner out there whether I actually think it's funny or not. You will never know my true feelings:

I Hearted Huckabees!

That deserves at least 3 LOLs. I can't count on anyone having seen this, but any plot summary I give would not make ANY sense. Instead, I'll only summarize Naomi Watts' role. She's Huckabees' spokesmodel (Huckabees is a department store... think Macy's), she's Jude Law's girlfriend, she wears an existential bonnet. The film, though un-summarizable, was interesting and funny.

The other movie I watched was Dogville, which had a plot that I can summarize. Nicole Kidman is some 1930s mobster's daughter that runs away out west. She ends up in tiny, poor town full of strange people. Then a bunch of weird stuff happens. Eventually she ends up with a chain around her neck. The end is semi-surprising and moderately disturbing; which is always a plus. Various sources on the internets tell me that this is an America-bashing film, but it was made by an insane foreign filmmaker; and much like any American worth his salt, I ignore all criticism of this great land. America, F--- Yeah. But seriously, I saw a Jesus thing going on more than anything. Then again, I see Jesus in a lot of things-- unfortunately not in anything I could sell on eBay or get featured on the 10pm news... yet.

I think I went into this with a point, but it's gone now.



Sidenote: I might avoid posting for a while just because that picture at the top of the page looks great.
