For those of you out there that enjoy good art direction and something a little left of centre, here is a great gallery of short vignettes from The New York Times starring some of the hottest Oscar contenders playing some of the most iconic villainous archetypes the screen has seen. Simple, powerful and vibrant. Plus a few insights from the actors on where they're coming from and/or what they're channeling: here.
Are you one of those sensitive types that tear up at sad endings? Then you might have something in common with this lady...
... although the only difference is you probably haven't got a partner who's filming your tears and putting it up on youtube for the world to see. That's pretty much the idea behind The Crying Wife, a site dedicated to a wife's uncontrollable weeping at the end of movies - be it a happy or sad ending. It's a bit creepy and voyeuristic - and I wouldn't be surprised if it's all faked - but the FAQ claims it to be all real and done with the wife's consent. I have to ask though, how you can be emotionally involved in a movie if there's a video camera waving around in your face?? I don't think this will develop into any kind of internet sensation, but we are living in the day and age of the Balloon Boy, so who knows... If you think you're a wussy cry-baby, watch Hollie as she loses it at the end of Back to the Future III (!?):
