She was on stage in London and in Bleak House, but no films.K.

And you two are right, she was unbelievably brilliant in House of Mirth, and I too wanted much more of her in The Last King of Scotland (partly in that case because I'm beginning to think that James McAvoy is a black hole--every film I see him in, within days I may remember parts of the film but none of them have anything to do with him).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1261420173593352970.post-60587259413052310072008-07-24T01:02:00.000-07:002008-07-24T01:02:00.000-07:00She just doesn't get cast.

She certainly doesn't seem to fit the stereotypical mom/sister role. Perhaps she is getting typecast as distant and conflicted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1261420173593352970.post-29310063354342978742008-07-24T00:12:00.000-07:002008-07-24T00:12:00.000-07:00Oh, and the last thing I saw her in was The Last K...Oh, and the last thing I saw her in was The Last King of Scotland. And hell if she wasn't great in a really short role. She leaves the film not too far in, and I wanted more.K.

It's not too late. Here's hoping that she gets her groove back. <BR/><BR/>And I hate it when movies make me feel nostalgic.K.
