Also, Not a Bad Way to Start Off the Year...

"I am Shiva the destroyer, your harbinger of doom this evening."

If you don't know what the title to this post refers to, just click here. I had no idea this blog is over a year old... I guess I can just blame my sporadic posting habits.

Oh well, here's to a lovely 2010! I wish all of you readers out there (if there are any) a very happy and prosperous new year!

I should probably make some kind of new year's resolution to blog more often... Nah.

StinyLulu's Supporting Actress Blog-a-thon Class of 2009

So just like last year, Popcorn and Cigarettes will be participating in StinkyLulu's Supporting Actress Blog-a-thon.

It was a lot of fun to see who supported who last year, and so I am excited to be doing it again. Unfortunately, Rinko Kikuchi will have to sit this year out (click here to see my post on her performance from last year).



Just like last year, any blog may participate, so even blogs that aren't focused on film may enter their own posts! Click here for all of the information on how to enter. I highly recommend you enter, not only because it is a lot of fun, but also because it is great to write about highly deserving performances that probably do not get as much recognition as they deserve.

See you on January 17, 2010!

I Hope...

...that you guys aren't sick of me blogging about Nine yet.

In case you missed it, here is some behind the scenes footage of Vogue's cover shoot with the ladies of Nine.

Clearly...

... my obsession with Nine is not going to be ending anytime soon, seeing as how they pushed back the release of the film to December.

Here is a nice little montage of footage from rehearsals mixed together with footage from the actual film.

Happy Birthday...

... Naomi Watts!

This lovely leading lady (and personal favourite of mine) turns 41 today! She is so talented, but I believe that she is underrated compared to a lot of the actresses around her age. Taking a look back at her performances in King Kong, 21 Grams, The Painted Veil, and Eastern Promises, I would consider all of them among the best of their respective years.


On a side note, Naomi Watts was recently in Toronto to promote her new film Mother and Child, which I foolishly chose not to attend. It has been getting some good buzz since the festival, and hopefully will find a distributor soon.
