stylish shelley

yeah, i don't know how this one's gonna hit. i am soooo sleepy. and i dig shelley duvall. (well, up until she got into making those faerie tale theater things for kids... kids get enough, trust me.) i think she's great in 'annie hall,' i think she's great in 'three women,' i think she's great in 'the shining,' and yes, i think she's great in 'popeye.' and she was in 'time bandits,' too... but i've only seen her parts like, fleetingly, whilst searching for the bits with ian holm. no, but seriously, i think she's damn good. its hard for me to swallow the fact that some people think she 'overacted' in 'the shining.' as if its possible for someone to chew on the 'scene-bone' more unabashedly than jackety-jack 'little pigs' nicholson. i defend shelley. i think she's pretty and dark and smart and has given me many nightmares, just imagining her in that blue bathrobe, running frantic around the Overlook with that butcher knife in her hand. man, just writing this has put me in the mood to roll it, 'the shining.' but, as fate would have it, the only kubrick movie i own on my shoestring budget is, happily, 'barry lyndon.' (just for the record, i love the long, white dress on the left. and the boots are deelish. not that i have the 'stringbean' bod neccessary to pull it off... far from it, but it looks nice and comfortable.)
