I haven't seen that one. I know of the movie and that she's in it but I never got around to seeing it. I might have to check it out on IMDb to see what exactly the synopsis is.

I've seen it. Jim Carrey is in it. He goes to this place to have his memories erased of her. But then realizes he don't. So he and her run away inside his memories trying not to be found.

I love her. She's a modern day Marylin Monroe. Too bad the only movie I loved with her in it is Titanic. The other movies just didn't interest me as much.

[civiclx]

Yeah I thought Eternal is one of Jim's serious roles. Like I said, I heard of the film and I know they were in it but I just never saw it.

What do you love about her so much akira? Is it her looks or her class or her acting?

She's won one, but she's been nominated five other times. Frankly, she should have more in my opinion.

And she's been in so many good movies, it's tough to choose one. But I might go with April Wheeler in Revolutionary Road -- that's a great movie. So intense. Of course, Leo was great in it as well. I really don't know why I don't own that. Need to fix that.

I do have that one on DVD. Michael Shannon was good in it. I think I've watched it twice but I'm not sure. I might have to go back and watch it again. I'm sure you appreciate the film more than me but I certainly didn't dislike it. Oh I do have The Reader on DVD which I think I have seen. I'm pretty sure I opened it and watched it once.

Kinda both actually. I always thought her style of acting was unique. Like a healthy mixture of melancholy and hope.

Wow, I've never noticed that before. So the only movie you loved is Titanic but it's probably not the only film where you appreciate her acting. Do you have a favorite role?

[MPeriolat]

Love. Her. So. Much. Yeah, of course, Titanic, but Heavenly Creatures, The Reader, Sense and Sensibility, Hamlet, The Holiday... never wanted to be Jack Black so much in my life... hell, I remember A Kid in King Arthur's Court!

I'll be forty in June. Younger than her, but not by much!

Honestly Titanic is the only movie I saw with her and really loved her in it. I might get around to watching her other stuff one day. I vaguely remember watching another movie with her after Titanic when I was a kid. I remember being bored out of my mind but she still kept the scenes interesting and a bit less boring.

Wasn't Kate Winslet also in The Aviator? I know Cate Blanchett was.

I'm pretty sure Kate Winslet was also in The Aviator. Yes, I dig Kate Winslet (don't we all?).

No Kate Winslet wasn't in the Aviator, Cate Blanchett was though.

Bummer. I'll still watch The Aviator, though.

I also dig Cate Blanchett, for what it's worth.

Leonardo DiCaprio is one of my favorite actors right now. And, Martin Scorsese is one of my favorite directors.

And how many times has Leo been nominated only to win one?

That movie had her, Kate Beckinsale, and a cameo from Gwen Stefani.

Leonardo DiCaprio has been nominated 5 times as an actor and won once. He was nominated for his role as a producer on Wolf of Wall Street.
