Miami Blues, yes. I liked her in The Hudsucker Proxy, but that wasn't exactly unaffected acting.
I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it. Don't hide behind Mal 'cause you know he'll shoot it down for you. Tell me.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What, no love for baby JJL in Fast Times?

I only have eyes for Phoebe Cates.
Years and years and years ago (I was an undergrad) some guy told me I looked like Phoebe Cates and I was, like, "Huh? From Lace & Lace II???"
For some reason, it didn't register with me that he was maybe thinking of her from Fast Times. Although, it's possible I hadn't seen it at that point either.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You know, of the many many things I love about Scola, what I love the most might just be his ability (and willingness) to quote this at the slighest provocation.

No kidding! Man, I haven't thought of that in years. Good (trashy) times.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not about movies, but I just read a pretty typical CIA spycraft type book, except it was written by a woman, so many of the main and/or significant characters were women (the Vice President AND the DCI!), and it didn't matter. Which was awesome -- there was basically nothing different in the story because those characters were women. I vote more of that.

I love JJL in The Big Picture. I bought the video just to have her student film.
I did the exact same thing. The fact that she looked and acted like a friend of mine from college (who was a film student) only added to the love.
Also love her in Miami Blues.
I REALLY need to see this movie.
