RT @mastersofcinema: @gemko That you think you can justify experiencing all these for nothing because you have a one-a-day habit is much more absurd.
DP: Never have liked Piers Morgan so much as when he tried to get Chris Christie, who makes Gleason seem flat footed, to try to answer Qs 4 real

“I was never let down by the hot dogs, bought from Chicago’s irreplaceable Vienna Beef, which were split down the middle, griddled and laid in a toasted potato bun with or without the classic Chicago garnishes. Better yet is the Bird Dog, a smoked chicken and apple bratwurst from Usinger’s of Milwaukee How the burger could change lives I never divined, but on occasion it was magnificent, as beefy and flavorful as the outer quarter-inch of a Peter Luger porterhouse. More often, though, the meat was cooked to the color of wet newsprint, inside and out, and salted so meekly that eating it was as satisfying as hearing a friend talk about a burger his cousin ate.”

“There is an innocence – an almost monastic purity – about Adam Ant’s enduring devotion to pop; after coming off antidepressants a few years ago, he began performing live again, playing modest venues, often unannounced, and later this year he will release a new album. I find myself hoping his audiences are respectful, and kind. Though still beautiful, he has to wear hats and bandanas to disguise the fact that he is now bald. He was always very conscious of his own beauty – “I think to be a pop star you need sex, subversion, style and humour” – and the hair loss seems gratuitously cruel. “Yeah,” he admits with quiet sadness. “It was pretty awful. But – I dunno – you’ve just got to do what you can. It’s part of the job, really. Just gotta get up, have a shave, and get on with it, really.”

ROSE BYRNE IS HOT AS HELL.
GIVE ME A B…
I miss Australian actors talking in their natural accents. At least Rose Byrne still has one.
Kiki: what part of Australia has Rose’s accent? I ask because it sounds so distinct, that I am wondering if Australians have very distinct regional accents like Americans do (I’m sure they do, but I am just asking for clarification). If you could fill a brother in. I would appreciate it.
Add me to the “huge crush on Rose Byrne” club. She could stand to gain a few pounds, however.
Classy, classy interview. My adoration for Rose Byrne has been approaching Macadams-levels for a while now, from Sunshine thru 28 Weeks Later to Damages, and hopefully Adam will be the breakout movie she deserves. I often wish that Lucas had cast her rather than Natalie Portman to play Amidala – she gave the only decent human performance in Attack of the Clones in less than two minutes of screentime.
IO, Aussies don’t tend to have regional accents. The difference in her accent is probably more down to it being a blend (she’s worked in Aussie, American and British accents) but she’s from Sydney and a Sydney accent is no different to a Melbourne (where I’m from) accent or a Perth accent or so on.
Thanks for the response Kiki.
great actors and interview but the film ADAM is mawkishly bad
