On Valentines Day we're getting a babysitter and going to see a film that will make us nervous about our new marriage. I can't wait. Blue Valentine is supposed to be awesome. I haven't been this excited to see a film since, well, earlier this year (Never Let Me Go, which I never ended up seeing).
Ever since Dawson's I've had a girl crush on Michelle Williams. That crush went on hold until I briefly met her and Heath Ledger at a party on a rooftop in Brooklyn, and up it started again because she is just as pretty and laid back in real life (not that she'd remember a brief, casual introduction, but it was a nice one). After that small encounter I knew she was a real person who was an actor, just like me, only she worked more often. That bizarre sense of 'celebrity' that formerly blocked the truth of our shared humanity was taken away by the booze we all shared at that rooftop party. When he died I cried for her and their kid because I knew they actually existed and were mourning someone in their life, not some actor who did a good job at being the Joker.
These pictures make me think she might be one of the more beautiful and unique-looking creatures alive right now.
