Ooohh, I just remembered another thing I hated about that one scene in TFS. It was worse than what SJP said. Diane Keaton said she was always glad her son was gay because, something like, "then he'd always live with me."
How f'ed up is that? Especially because the son was IN a relationship (and didn't live with her, I don't think?).
And Diane Keaton was supposed to be the GOOD character.

Diane Keaton was a first class bitch. While I could understand the premise of the daughter not liking her brother's fiancee, to turn mom totally against her (the fiancee) before mom ever laid eyes on her...and they call this a wonderful mother? Ugh. She makes my stomach turn.
Supposedly Diane Keaton played another bitch mom in a movie that came out recently...can't remember the name but she spends the whole movie trying to fix up her younger daughter or something. I don't get it, Diane...what's up? Just because you are playing "older" women in movies now, you have to be a bitch?
Come to think of it, she wasn't all that pleasant a character in "Something's Gotta Give," either. Dumping the good looking doctor in the middle of dinner in Paris. But she got stuck with Jack Nicholson, a former philanderer, who I have NEVER found attractive. Never, ever, ever!

Keaton may be taking the only roles that are being offered to her. It's well-known that an American movie actress's options become much more limited as she grows into middle age and beyond, and Keaton may simply be falling into this pattern.

Yes, this is true. And maybe being a bitch appeals to her, who knows?

I saw The Aviator last night. It was totally not what I was expecting, but I still thought it was pretty good. One thing I didn't like was Kate Beckinsale (sp?) in her role as Ava Gardner. I haven't yet been on wikipedia to try to verify how accurate the movie was. One pseudo complaint about the movie I read was that it didn't necessarily give you an ending... That was okay with me.
