I really adore all of these pictures. So sweet.

Anyway, I think Maggie G. is a really good actress. She had a really small role in Donnie Darko but there was something distinct about her in that movie. Then I saw her in World Trade Center and I think she was the only really, really good thing about that movie (overall, it was okay). I watched Secretary a few weeks ago and while the film won't have a lasting impression on me, I guarantee, I thought the way she portrayed Lee was adorable and empathetic. Girl's got talent, looks, and personality. (Don't you just hate people like that?  )

I agree.  Several other people I know who've seen WTC said the same or a very similar thing.

And her brother's the real deal, all right.

I say in honor of her birthday, we all go see "Stranger Than Fiction" today after work.  I'm gonna.  Actually, mainly because I liked it so much that I wanna see it again, and a friend wants to go who hasn't yet.  I had no idea it was her birthday, too.  Well, that settles it - it has been pre-determined I must see this film again today.  I have no choice.

Whoa!! I have a date to meet my husbie in an hour to go see it together.  You know what they say, "Great behinds stink alike..."   (Sorry, I know it's so gross.  And yet so funny.) 

Not sure if anyone else will be available, but I'll come see if anyone's in chat to talk about it when i get home.  That'll be around 9:30pm Pacific Time.
