honorable mention: being responsible for johnny depp having a tattoo that says "WINO FOREVER"

― nabisco, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:16 (eighteen years ago)

no, i think that nabisco was correct in his #1 entry, and should've possibly just stopped there (esp the aliens one should've been left off, dude)

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:16 (eighteen years ago)

but dude, if she hadn't turned out to be a robot, then her acting would have been HORRIBLE, do you see?

― nabisco, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:17 (eighteen years ago)

#6 is my favroite

― nickalicious, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:17 (eighteen years ago)

I think her voice is really her problem.

― horseshoe, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:19 (eighteen years ago)

I'm partial to her (trying to?) make out with and displaying the upper portion of her cleavage to Sir Anthony Hopkins in Bram Stoker's Dracula.

― David R., Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:19 (eighteen years ago)

Her cleavage has portions?

― nabisco, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:20 (eighteen years ago)

alien resurrection is one of the worst movies ever made, nothing you can say is going to redeem it, nabisco.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:21 (eighteen years ago)

12. cause johnny depp to deface himself. twice.

13. manage to include references the Replacements, specifically Paul Westerberg, into heathers

14. be the subject of the line '...we started a band so we could date winona ryder.'

― David R., Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:29 (eighteen years ago)

rly pete yorn over johnny depp? he's so hot right now.

― Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:29 (eighteen years ago)

that was not a ranking, but rather more a listing

― kingfish, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:30 (eighteen years ago)

God, her & PH explains why Helmet went to shit.

― David R., Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:30 (eighteen years ago)

oh ok xp

― Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:30 (eighteen years ago)

Ha - I like that Kingfish needed an addendum for Page Hamilton, as if just listing RHETT MILLER is enough.

― David R., Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:31 (eighteen years ago)

she told my friend that when she met lindsay lohan, lindsay loudly referred to her as a dinosaur as she was walking away. poor winona!

Jeez, Winona's only like 33 or something. She had birthday recently and I was kinda shocked she was so young. I can barely rember a time when she was not around (I'm 24 BTW)

― C. Grisso/McCain, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:31 (eighteen years ago)

as if just listing RHETT MILLER is enough.

dude had some solo stuff going on, plus i prefer the old 97s to helmet anyday

― kingfish, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:32 (eighteen years ago)

Rhett Miller is always enough. Rowr.

― Laurel, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:32 (eighteen years ago)

tom's friend ran into her and was convinced she was checking him out. i'm convinced she was wondering who the fuck the asshole was pronouncing her name as "wee-ona"

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:32 (eighteen years ago)

Rhett Miller (of swoony blogcrush fame)

― David R., Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:33 (eighteen years ago)

And I think the last ish of Chunklet had some list of all the muso & actor types she's been affliated with. The article was not written in the most congratulatory tone.

― kingfish, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:33 (eighteen years ago)

haha winona took decades to wind up in mr deeds -- lindsay practically started out there! and it's not like even mean girls is going to have the longevity of heathers or those burton movies.

― nabisco, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:36 (eighteen years ago)

Wait a minute, Chunklet was being ... sarcastic?

― jaymc, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:36 (eighteen years ago)

yes, nabisco. my friend was totally outraged. she said w. was extremely nice, btw, but completely deranged.

eleven months pass...

http://images.dangerousminds.net/uploads/images/aoannnamhuigvhjdd.jpg

“I was wearing an old Salvation Army shop boy’s suit. As I went to the bathroom I heard people saying, ‘Hey, faggot’. They slammed my head into a locker. I fell to the ground and they started to kick the shit out of me. I had to have stitches. The school kicked me out, not the bullies.
“Years later, I went to a coffee shop and I ran into one of the girls who’d kicked me, and she said, ‘Winona, Winona, can I have your autograph?’ And I said, ‘Do you remember me? Remember in seventh grade you beat up that kid?’ And she said, ‘Kind of’. And I said, ‘That was me. Go fuck yourself.’”

seems kinda like a made-up story, but how cute is she

So cool.

Seeing her in Beetlejuice inspired my first crush on the most goth-looking girl in school the next day. I think i was 7 or 8.

i found myself wondering recently what winona ryder does with her time
what does she do all day?

― (The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 20:00 (ten years ago)

yeah but specifically how does she pass the time in 2014?
i'm really curious.

― cross over the mushroom circle (La Lechera), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 20:01 (ten years ago)

did she get bored and start studying anthropology or something?

― cross over the mushroom circle (La Lechera), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 20:01 (ten years ago)

maybe she's on tv shows -- i didn't check imdb, just found myself idly wondering what she was doing with her time

― cross over the mushroom circle (La Lechera), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 20:04 (ten years ago)

does she live on the west coast? I bet she's finishing lunch now. I wonder what she would eat for a lunch.

― ⌘-B (mh), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 20:06 (ten years ago)

looks like she works just enough to cover her expenses and stay out of the spotlight
so what does she do all day? i always thought of her as someone who would spend her time in a productive and interesting way but that could be a total illusion/projection

― cross over the mushroom circle (La Lechera), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 20:09 (ten years ago)

She's about 3/4 of the way through season 4 of The West Wing at the moment. And she's been spending a lot of time trying to master her new tandoor oven, with mixed results.

― Chewy Chunks (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 20:17 (ten years ago)

Seems legit.

― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 20:18 (ten years ago)

i hope she's happy/satisfied, whatever she's doing
maybe learning a new language

hm i guess they like boomer classix
She also prefers to spend her time unearthing Philip Roths and John Updikes at her favourite San Francisco bookshop, City Lights, than waste time reading populist fiction such as Fifty Shades of Grey.

― cross over the mushroom circle (La Lechera), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 20:30 (ten years ago)

whatever she does, she does it while having very nice hair, as the photo above that article reveals

'The Ten' might be one of the top ten things Winona Ryder has done in life. Or at least one of the Ten things.

― festival culture (Jordan), Wednesday, 15 October 2014 14:10 (ten years ago)

one month passes...

Does Roxy Carmichael have any kind of a cult following? Found it in a bargain bin a couple of months ago, threw it on tonight, and thought it was surprisingly, gratifyingly good. Reminded me of Demme in the '80s--one of those rare box-office concoctions where no one's made to look stupid. Even Francis Fisher, who comes closest to a one-dimensional villain, gets a nice moment right at the end.

― clemenza, Sunday, 16 November 2014 04:34 (ten years ago)

i remember liking it a lot, though i can't remember much about it. probably time for a revisit.

― (The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Sunday, 16 November 2014 06:59 (ten years ago)

Please post if you do. I'm not sure if I was just in the right frame of mind (I saw the Godard film in the afternoon--typically difficult and discursive--so I may have been extra-susceptible to something soft and light) and would like to hear from someone else. It's the kind of film that seems made for Ebert, and he didn't like it, although he did have good things to say about Ryder. I agree with him that the Roxy backstory could have been handled better. But I really was surprised by how much I liked almost every character (the would-be boyfriend, adoptive father, and guidance counselor especially--and Ryder, of course), loved the atmospheric score, and thought the requisite happy ending was fine.

two weeks pass...

As her NY retro draws closer, has anyone seen 1969? A hippie bath with the writer of On Golden Pond as the auteur, i can't imagine how atrocious it must be, even w/ Bruce Dern and Joanna Cassidy in support.

Apparently there's a recent Olive Films DVD of Mermaids... didn't know it was well regarded enough for that.

btw The Age of Innocence appears in the series now, and in 35mm.

― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 14 August 2018 15:57 (six years ago)

i saw 1969 when it came out and it was terrible iirc
i don't remember anything about it beyond it sucking

― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Tuesday, 14 August 2018 16:00 (six years ago)

Mermaids has a modest cult, appropriately befitting a film featuring a family made up of Cher, Winona, and Christina Ricchi.

― Ubering With The King (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 14 August 2018 16:24 (six years ago)

Also the Olive Films release happened simply because MGM is farming out 95% of their catalogue DVD/BluRay reissues to 3rd party boutique labels.

― Ubering With The King (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 14 August 2018 16:26 (six years ago)

for whatever reason i have rewatched mermaids twice in the last couple of years. it's not bad, winona and cher's performances are the centre of the film and they're pretty good. bob hoskins' american accent is terrible and there's a couple of extremely o_0 elements

― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 14 August 2018 16:27 (six years ago)

My local theatre is doing a mini Winona-fest: Heathers, Edward Scissorhands, Reality Bites, and Dracula. I saw Scissorhands last night - most enjoyed the dinner table scenes and any time Alan Arkin has a line.
