Annette Bening has a face for every nuance. She could play Anne of Green Gables or any of our great actresses from Hepburn to O’Hara.
I was a writer until yesterday, but I just threw away my yellow legal pad and pen. Running With Scissors scared the hell out of me. It is worth an Academy Award for Bening but once again she has chosen to portray very sick people. Makes me wonder what’s going on in the Beatty household. I’ll stick with Love Affair, with it’s mixed up prop’s (paintings) and Bugsy, the best romantic comedy a gangster ever lived and leave Running With Scissors’ to more stable minds than mine. It didn’t do well at the box office but the casting was superb. I’m off to my therapist.toodleloo.

An adolecent being given to his mother’s shrink to be raised in a house dominated by extremely mentally unstable people isn’t a dark enough comedy for you? It was funny, but I thought it was extremely dark.

When electric shock therapy gets me to laugh I consider it in the darker vein of humor.

Give me a break! This movie has been touted as a Comedy. Prior to reading the comments on this blog, the word dark was never mentioned.

The only reason my wife and I didn’t leave was to see if the absurdity would be sustained!

Thanks for the heads up on the typo, I loved Jill so much in this movie so getting her name right is a priority :)

Good idea about the video reviews. I’ll talk to John about it. And I never get creeped out when people think I’m attractive, I blush though.

Burroughs is one of my favourite authors, and Running with Scissors is one of the best memoirs out there. Everyone should read it, and I hope the movie lives up to the book’s absolute brilliance.

Small correction. It’s Jill ClayBURGH, not Clayborn.

I have been lucky to be invited to a lot of good stuff, because believe me there are tons crappy films out there. I just let John see them :)
