"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.
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
Julianne Moore showed her ginger in one movie.
Which was that?
Short What?!?!?!?
Short Cuts.
Matthew Modine.
Fuck how good is Spike Lee’s DO THE RIGHT THING ! With the big base soundtrack from Public Enemy’s Fight the Power , looming in the background and booming from the stereo .
Elvis was a hero to most
But he never meant shit to me.
That’s the one ! Iconic opening credits with a dancing Rosie Perez ….
Fight the power!
Then drop the mic and start spending tha money.
The Jesus surfing Mavs, that’s quite an image you’ve conjured up Chas
Chas you knew this would happen! – my favourite Julianne is another Anderson movie, “Magnolia” fucking fantastic – even Tom Cruise is great in this movie!
Turturro & the Coen Brothers you can’t go wrong.
Really
Who fucken wrote that ending.?
I liked tom worshipping his cock though
I found the ending quite moving – maybe I should have gone to one of Tom’s toughen up seminars!
The frogs were moving!
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!
So now Julieanne More has become Dianne Keaton, who does Dianne Keaton become?
A posthumous Julieanne Moore ? When she shuffles off this mortal coil ……..
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
What it means is MEN,U have to PAUSE and hold back a bit.how else could they have thought up a word like that.ha ha
I am so glad the uploader has not made this video available in my home country.
Ireland?
Yes, Bram Stoker was Irish, a Dublin man born and raised there.
There you go
I’m always learning
Transylvania?
Wherever vampires roam, there you will find me.
WSL comps?!?!

The same way I once watched trailers for “Moulin Rouge”
Wincing at the Mincing?
Cringing at the Mingeing

That’s Nick being all judgey.
So relevant to modern pro surfing entering year two of ” What is Good Surfing Now – according to Pritamo ?” .
Lucky you.
water looks to blue for mavericks, no?
oh and menopause sucks ass, just ask my wife who started at 35, they call it peri.. or ask me.. I live with being wrong before I say anything, atleast for a week a month
You say that last bit like its not common?
yes, i am sorry, i am wrong. I apologize, I will try to do better. sorry.
Haha, that’s what I say.
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”
Beware the hormones ! And he was …………..stolen from Salman Rushdie discussing Ellen D .
So cryptic!
Oh so you’re a miner with 3&1 shifts.
That explains why you’re only wrong 1 week out of 4.
I’m slow, it’s in your name
It doesn’t take much to be bolder then the wsl
Yo, put some extra mozzarella on that motherfucker and shit.
Can’t spell Menopause without MEN!
Or PAU!
It’s not far from Hossegor . Once spent Xmas there with a Bipolar girlfriend who fell asleep for 3days and I had a wonderful time with her family .
Mmmm. I was referring to the Hawaiian word for ‘finished’ or ‘done’.
Possibly yet relevant to your story.
Done like a Xmas dinner !
I used to think it was useless but it appears I am wrong
