I think that's just her face...

[Stefen]

Ugh. She's the worst.

[Alexandro]

she was great in election and she can be great again.

[for petes sake]

Adam Sandler used to be the worst.

[New Feeling]

she was pretty great in Pleasantville too but it's been a while. 

[Gold Trumpet]

Well, I don't think she has done a role yet that is really indicative of how well she could do, but I don't really care if she is cast in this or not. On the other hand, she's a name, it's a supporting role and this is a project that still has some chance to lose funding so she is a benefit to the project if the report is true.

man election is just the bomb

[72teeth]

fuckin Freeway is the bomb... i have full confidence in that crazy bitch

[Robyn]

I don't care who he cast. If Paul thinks she fits for the role, why wouldn't she? Most of the time it usually not about talent, but what character you have and whether it is suitable for the role. Bad actors can make good performance in the right hands. And she isn't that bad either.

Just relax and give Paul a round of applause for his good choice.

kind of funny how people react to these rumors around here. like envious gay exlovers of paul thomas anderson or something.
just to remember, witherspoon was pretty much great in everything she did and then came legally blonde, which made her a star, and like every other actress in Hollywood who suddenly becomes "the new Julia Roberts" she's been doing crap romantic comedies for ages now. She won on oscar for the johnny cash film and if I remember correctly that was a mediocre film elevated by great performances from the leads. now she's offered a part in a paul thomas anderson film (maybe). sounds very good to me for both.

PTA sucked me off last night and when he finished i looked down at him and said 'you're so PTGAY.' none too excited about Reese! she best not do that weird, Reesey face she does! egad! she's the worst!!! she wasnt bad in Pleasantville though.

[Alexandro]

A true LOL.

[Stefen]

Everyone has that one actor/actress that they just do not like for whatever reason. White trash Reese is mine. I just find her completely boring and forgettable. Even now looking at her filmograpy, I just find it boring. Vanity Fair, Sweet Home Alabama, Importance of Being Earnest, Legally Blonde uno/dos. BORING.

She's just that one actress I can not stand and I hate every choice they make. She's like 1 for 10 in good choices if she signs on here.

Election is pretty ace, though. As is Freeway where she basically just plays her white trash self.  

I don't doubt PTA. Never will. Still, I'd do backflips if he told her to get lost and cast Michelle Williams instead.

[Sleepless]

Sorry, I just don't get all the Reese bashing... is it because she's a popular actress than made some successful popcorn movies? What's the deal? I agree she's probably too big a name for any of the parts in the version of the script I read... but fuck guys ease up for chrissakes.

At least it's not Renee.

EDIT:
Talk about a fucking face...

[Pas]

Sorry, I just don't get all the Reese bashing...
