A film blog heading into a new academic quarter,
and bringing a few old projects back to life.
Enjoy your day. Blow out all your candles. Here's to 46 more years of genius... speaking of which, I'll look forward to seeing you and Jude and Kate and Patricia next month! Should be quite a party.Labels: SeanPenn

Don't forget about Mark!
I feel so sorry for him in all the trailers for All the King's Men (starring Academy-Award winner Sean Penn, Academy-Award nominee Kate Winslet, Academy-Award nominee Jude Law, Academy-Award nominee Patricia Clarkson, Academy-Award winner Anthony Hopkins, Emmy-winner James Gandolfini and...Mark Ruffalo.)
It's a dirty shame he wasn't nominated for You Can Count on Me.
That's always rough. I remember when that Bille August version of Les Misérables came out, and its trailer did the same thing: "Academy Award nominee Liam Neeson... Academy Award winner Geoffrey Rush... Claire Danes... and Academy Award nominee Uma Thurman."
If only the studio had waited until May, they could have said "Tony nominee Mark Ruffalo." Still and all, I bet he'll be "Academy Award nominee Mark Ruffalo" before too many years go by.
