Thank you!
13. Your guilty pleasure movie(s)?
I love a schlocky B-Grade horror movie. From the absolute classics like Creature from the Black Lagoon and Them! to telemovie nonsense like Revenge of the Stepford Wives. There's something I just find really cozy about them, and when the mood strikes, I could watch them all day.
28. Top 5 actresses?
Oh gosh, too many to count! I have a lot of favourite actresses, and I talk a lot about my favourite Golden Age actresses on here, sooo let's go for five of my favourites currently working? This isn't ranked, and will probably change, haha, but they were the first that jumped to mind:
Nicole Kidman - honestly think she's one of the best working actresses today, and her range is insane. Love her commitment too to working both with women directors and Australian directors still. Fave roles: To Die For, Practical Magic, Eyes Wide Shut, Moulin Rouge!, The Hours, Cold Mountain, Rabbit Hole, Stoker, Big Little Lies, literally too many to count, I adore her.
Regina King - has been so underrated for much of her career, and I love seeing her start to get her flowers with the staggeringly good performances in American Crime, If Beale Street Could Talk and Watchmen. She always delivers, and I've loved her since Boyz n the Hood and Poetic Justice.
Michelle Yeoh - speaking of actresses finally getting their flowers!! God, Everything Everywhere All at Once is the best movie I've seen in a long time, and she just brings a legacy of talent with her. Other fave roles: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Sunshine, Marco Polo, Star Trek: Discovery.
Rose Byrne - literally is there anything she can't do? I just think she's magic and love how wide-ranging her career is. Fave roles: Two Hands, My Mother Frank, Sunshine, Spy, Mrs America (which I'm only halfway through, but still love her in, haha).
Saoirse Ronan - I've always liked her, but I think her career is just one that's really interesting. She shows up in such a wide range of movies and always manages to ground them with such emotional resonance, and while I'd like to see her in more genre stuff, I'm always excited to see her in something. Fave roles: Brooklyn, The French Dispatch, Lady Bird, Little Women, The Way Back.
