Revealed: Menopausal Hollywood feel-good film bolder than the World Surf League!

"I think this guy could die tomorrow!"

I am a massive fan of the Hollywood starlet Julianne Moore but really who isn’t. She holds every film she’s ever appeared in hostage with her grace and charm. What would Boogie Nights have been without her? Or Children of Men? Or The Big Lebowski? Well, she has a new vehicle releasing very soon called Gloria Bell. I watched the preview ahead of Vice (outstanding film and must-see) and it appears to be a sort of drama/comedy centering around love, life and relationships during those early menopausal years.

You know the sort (Sex and the City 2 etc.).

Anyhow, I was sitting there, watching and John Turturro seems to be her love interest. He is an fantastic actor in his own right and I shouldn’t even have to mention Do the Right Thing, Summer of Sam or O Brother, Where Art Thou? for you to know. My favorite Turturro turn, and maybe yours, was in The Big Lebowski where he played “Jesus” to the hilt.

The Big Lebowski - Jesus Scene (1080p)

So there I was enjoying the preview and all the humorous difficulties of being pretty old but not, like, old old when I see what is supposed to be John Turturro surfing a very large wave at what I think is Maverick’s.

Is it Maverick’s?

I think it is and I was marveling at how big the wave was before thinking about the last time Maverick’s had really big surf, really big perfect surf and how the World Surf League pulled the plug for their Big Wave World Tour event because it was too big.

I took a sip of my Texas Mule (a Moscow Mule prepared with Tito’s vodka apparently) and thought, “Well look at that. A menopausal Hollywood feel-good film is bolder than the World Surf League.”

Watch here (surfing at 1:47)!

if men are now allowed to have periods, logic would dictate we have to go through menopause too now, maybe that’s what kellys dealing with now, makes sense

Oh damn it! You are so right. Magnolia is absolutely magnificent, Tom Cruise’s best ever. I will say, though, I did love Punch Drunk Love more!

Like the judging on the WCT, it’s all subjective!
By the way I did a read on Gloria Bell & and it turns out Gloria’s daughter’s boyfriend is a surfer, so I suspect their talking about him in the trailer rather than Turturro – gosh I feel so investigative journaleezy, its intoxicating!

julianne moore probably top five redheads (that shot of her in Altman’s “Short Cuts”) but she can’t do accents at all. absolute worst boston accent ever on 30 Rock, just one example

I actually feel really bad for her.. I remember my mom opening the fucking doors to the house saying she was hot as shit, when it was 20 degrees out.. it sucks so bad.. at least my wife only sees things a little skewed and… warns me it has started.. so i go surf or hit the gym or say “yes”
