I love
Northern Exposure too. And I also have made the pilgrimage to Roslyn, Washington, where it was filmed.
Last night, I saw
Rachel Getting Married.
Anne Hathaway WAS good, and her character Kym was so amazingly self-absorbed. One moment of example. They are all in the kitchen, and wedding food is all around. A very large rectangular pan of some food is sitting on the counter. Kym picks up a fork, and digs directly into the
center of the pan to take a couple of bites.
I mean who would do that?
One of my favorite characters in that movie was the
house. It was perfect. And the guy who played the best man was very enjoyable,
Mather Zickel. I looked him up on IMDb, and in his forum they are arguing over whether he looks like George Clooney or not. So, as John said recently, WOOF!
Anna Deveare Smith and
Debra Winger were at their most beautiful too.
Bill Irwin looked like his skin and hair needed some major moisturizing. It was almost distasteful to look at him at times. Wonderful actor, but why didn't they spruce him up a bit?
For those who saw the movie, a question. Not much of a spoiler, but stop reading this post now if you already thought I gave too much away with the middle-of-the-pan anecdote:
I thought the undiscussed multi-ethnicity of the movie was wonderful. But did they ever explain why the wedding party was wearing saris and other Indian garb, and why the wedding cake was an enormous Indian elephant? Did anybody else laugh at this incongruousness?
