Emily Watson interview

[Duck Sauce]

but he speaks in a british accent in that movie!

I thought he was American too after most of the roles I saw him play were American.

I refuse to believe that no one saw MY emily watson interview on page one...

I love that interview, I just felt that it spoke for itself. Kind of like an aside, like, anyway, here's goddamn's dick, let's get on with the conversation.

You're a bad, selfish girl, Bess, and you will be punished!

Does Lars Von Trier make happy movies?

None I'm aware of (at least not in a language I speak).  That's probably part of their appeal - both "Waves" and "Dancer" are some of my favorite films that are genuinely uncomfortable to watch.

I think Waves was worse for me. There were parts where I was gettin sick to my stomach thinking "god, what is this girl doing to herself?"

Yeah, Waves was the first Von Trier film I saw and I was definately unprepared.  Dancer is, in many ways, not as, uh... traumatic (?).  Watson's Bess actually takes on the role of flagellating herself while Bjork's Selma just has a lot of shit happen to her.  It also struck me that while Dancer is a musical and therefore very obviously a movie, Waves' lack of music (aside from the act changes) makes it seem significantly more real - something akin to the "fourth wall" effect in theatre.

Not to sound like a moron, but I first saw Waves thought I'd bought a pirated version because the camera view wouldn't stop shaking.  Okey-dokie-silly-illy-okie-o, I'm an idiot!
