NAOMI WATTS

kind of a bummer to have ur breakout role also be: the best movie u will ever be in and the movie u will always look prettiest in

yup

that was her fate

It's a pretty fucking amazing movie to have on your resume, though, even if nothing else you do will trump it.

pretty amazing performance too

it kind of changed my life

clearly you all are referring to the ring two

Yeah. I can't imagine voting for anything else.

i didn't realize she was in flirting! i love that movie.

clearly you all are referring to the ring two

duh

i voted for a different movie simply because i know y'all are gonna vote for mulholland drive

my bf and i still put on mulholland drive at 3am sometimes when we get home wasted

she was kinda funny in king kong so i voted for that

like schef I voted for I Heart Huckabees

"i don't know who i am"

"but you're Rita!"

ha i think IHH is not a v good movie, but she was HILARIOUS in it

i voted for inland empire, fool

IHH was a ton of fun!

voted we don't live here anymore for the sex in the woods scene

wait, the waht

The Painted Veil was awful!

This looks awesome: The Hunt for the Unicorn Killer (1999)

lol the Painted Veil

pretty awzom resume

md
inland empire
huckabees
funny games (ok i did not actually see her version but)
the ring
eastern promises
babe 2

all great

I watched Tank Girl again a couple months ago and was ... surprised by her presence

voting for elephant in room.

mullholland dr. is such a sucker-punch and obviously tops. but she's pretty hilarious and charming in huckabees.

Did the same with Huckabees (which I voted for) and was "surprised" that her spokesmodel replacement in it was Isla Fisher (who ever since I learned how her first name was pronounced seems like a tiny land mass surrounded by trawlers)

IHH is pretty easily my 2nd fave.

PIcked Mulholland Drive, but am fine with IHH, 21 Grams, or Kong.

mullholland dr. should have never existed. if you are gonna make an humorless abstract movie, at least let it be cool like Monkees - Head.

dude i'm not sure if you really just typed that or not because it's so wrong.

no u

tits or gtfo

i didn't realize she was in flirting! i love that movie.

Aw! I saw that when I was 13 and, maybe it was that I had this intense fascination with interracial romance at the time, but I was quite taken with it.

But Mulholland Dr. is correct. The woman should've won awards for that performance.

it's a really good movie; i've watched it recently + it holds up!

xpost about flirting

maybe the proper word is surreal and not abstract. either way that movie is boring except maybe 2 scenes.

let me take a gander at which 2 scenes you found interesting

lorax please do not take us back down your road of crazy re: david lynch, you only have a few sbs left.

As a sadistic nihilist, I think I'm the only guy who liked the Funny Games remake (in which I thought Watts trumped the original actress's performance. I'll also rep for The Ring, tho the spooky kid almost ruins it. Almost.

i saw painted veil the other day dang that was a gay movie

voted tank grrl, havent seen mulholland dr

# The Hunt for the Unicorn Killer (1999) (TV) .... Holly Maddux

need 2 see this movie SO BAD

i wasn't counting the lesbian scene (the singer on the stage and gun shot in the office)
but yeah I'll stop talking about that movie

as far as Funny Games goes - I like how esquire nominated the killer for best gloves of the year. And yeah, Naomi did good.

she really is vv good in king kong, too

fuck mulholland drive imo, i don't care if i'm casting my lot with the captain on this one

http://www.beertees.com/images/products/captain-morgan-womens-shirt-CM-0082b.jpg

i remember being irritated w/her in king kong cuz all the scenes of her and the monkey gazing into each other's eyes cut into the wicked rampage dino fighting action

guys king kong is awful

ya it's trash but the part where king kong fights t-rexes is just like... that's the ~*magic of cinema*~ dogg

i found it surprisingly entertaining considering i anticipated hating it. : /

ahahahaha that scene

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

i love her dearly and have never understood why anyone would disagree. will not tell what i voted for

Yep.

I own a VHS copy of CHILDREN OF THE CORN PART IV: THE GATHERING. It's really, really terrible. Like boring terrible.

oh great yeah

hey King Kong was boring terrible too...

the bloodlust cheering in the theater when kong ripped off the dinosaur's jaw was one of the most exhilarating movie moments ever~

I've said this before, but "Funny Games" is one of the few movies where blatant directorial asshattery has taken something that, on paper, should be completely totally up my alley and turned it into the laziest, offensively intellectually-dishonest piece of shit possible.

Surely you meant Huckabees.

voted huckabees

me also, though i haven't seen le divorce so perhaps it's unfair. she is incredibly beautiful but has done some really bad 'arty' movies eg mulholland drive, 21 grams.

Scanned right past 'Eastern Promises' when I first looked at this thread. Hopefully someone voted for it.

Le Divorce is pretty forgettable.

huckabees is not good on the whole, but those commercials were great

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

My mind was kinda blown when I found out that Naomi Watts' dad was a longtime Pink Floyd roadie. It's his laughter that's on "Brain Damage" (and him on the right in this picture)

http://lyricwiki.org/images/b/b1/Pink_Floyd_-_Ummagumma_(Live).jpg

Apparently, she would accompany her dad on Floyd tours all the time when she was little.

I didn't get to vote. My fav film of the bunch is of course Mulholland Dr. But I would've voted for Funny Games because I think Watts performance in it may be one of my favorites ever!

mulholland dr by that much? seriously?

has to be some reverse challoptical illusion

iirc she gets them out

that really is her in the DirecTV Kong ad, huh? Sad.

You'd prefer she interrupted her lesbian tit fondling with the pitch?

yess

i always thought that they did some CGI work on those ads and just found voice actors who sounded similar?

I never did, cuz Christie Brinkley needs work

iirc she gets them out

classic thread-closer ruined by morbs.

no they're all the real actors

she totally half-asses the accent too, just to make it that much weirder and sadder

hmayne, why don't you go back to yr Bogart/Eisenberg parallel

this would be awesome/hilarious

i don't know about her ACTING (said in laurence olivier voice) in it, but she looks best in THE RING.

Naomi Watts Appreciation Thread

CLASSY LADIES PART 1: NAOMI WATTS

I went to see 21 Grams with my sister and was chastised for some joking on the way out of the theater because she was still feeling down from the tone of the film. Then, when we got in the car, her only random commentary was: "Naomi Watts has weird nipples."

o_O

That was not an illustration of said nipples, but my reaction to my sister's progression of statements

My mind was kinda blown when I found out that Naomi Watts' dad was a longtime Pink Floyd roadie. It's his laughter that's on "Brain Damage"

Not only that, but her mom is woman with the "He was cruisin' for a brusin'" line on "Money".

i love her

http://www.hecklerspray.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/jet-hot.jpg

i watched part of ellie parker, it was not good but her character does say

God, I just wish I could disappear
into some great role, you know?
Not just a cop, or a lawyer,
or a girlfriend.
I wanna play a real person,
you know?
God, it's so dry out there.
We really need some rain.
You know what would be great?
To play a schizophrenic woman.
A blind lesbian anthropologist.
Yeah, yeah. It's the 1700's, and
she's got dengue fever, and she's...
studying baboons.
Wouldn't that be good?

damn i turned it off before this part

I feel really bad.
Can I make it up to you?
Isten, my band's playing tonight.
Well, my friends' band, Dogstart.

sorry im just shitting up this thread, but shots fired @ bibb/apatow lol

Did I get a callback on that?
Oh, they wanted a name.
Who?
- Eslie Bibb.
- Who the fuck is eslie Bibb?
Who is that?

quickest rescreen ever, this might actually be a good movie hm, first half is just sorta blah slow

sounds like the flipside of her rant from BoJack Horseman where she (playing herself) complains that she gets typecast in tortured/difficult roles and would kill for a silly, disposable rom-com.

some of this is p harrowing actually (& funny too), like def was in lynchs head for inland empire i bet, and i guess he & scott coffey are friends

Joan Didion ... thanks
Alejandro González Iñárritu ... extra special thanks
Deborah Harry ... extra special thanks
Diane Keaton ... thanks
Linda Lichter ... extra special thanks
David Lynch ... extra special thanks

oh yea der also hes an actor in several lynch films ok
