All the better for us, Chris! Anyway, that's not Uma, that's her co-star. Who is she Amanda? Very fetching.

It's Rain Phoenix. Sister of River and Joaquin Phoenix.
"Even Cowgirls get the Blues" is directed by Gus Van Sant, who also worked with River in "My Own Private Idahao" and with Joaquin in "To Die For".

Hunh?  Why?  I think she's dreamy.


And, yes, it's Rain Phoenix... sorry for not responding here earlier.  Isn't it true that Gus Van Sant had his "hat in the ring" for a long time hoping to direct Brokeback Mountain?  I'm really glad he didn't (although I do like some of his movies).

I'd love to see a Van Sant version of BBM. Love the few films of his that I've seen - my favourite is 'Elephant' which has to be one of the most atmospheric and unsettling movies I've ever seen.
Will you stop playing with that radio of yours, I'm trying to get to sleep!

That's what I read repeated times, too. IMDB names GVS and Joel Schumacher as directors who had been interested.
Though I liked MOPI very much, liked Good Will Hunting and think Drugstore Cowboy wasn't bad, I'm happy that Ang Lee did it and not GVS.
A good deal of the magic of BBM comes from it's ambiguity and the subtlies, and I don't think GVS would have made a subtle movie. I think he would have made a far more blunt movie.

But maybe I'm not fair, because I love the movie so much as it is right now. I can't imagine it with another director, or with other leads, or with another score, and so on.
It was a blessing that all the talents from Annie Proulx, Ossana&McMurtry, Jake, Heath, Michelle and so on (cinematograpy, score) melted together into such a beautiful piece of art.


And since this is a cowgirls picture thread, how about these two? They're cute, aren't hey?
