Day 05: Favourite Role in other category Dell, Tideland…yes, this scene scares me, too. Bloody rubber gloves (and I don’t mean “fucking rubber gloves” as you can clearly see in the still), an unfortunate version of Jeff Bridges (or as I like to call him, “El Duderino” or “His Dudeness”), massive dreadlocks, and some oddly placed shovels next to the tick-tack-toe board…er, the wall. There’s much to take in whilst viewing this particular shot, and though it’s quite disturbing in appearance, I assure you that Tideland is a pretty fantastic film, albeit completely fucked. This is actually the first movie I ever watched Janet in post my Mary Stuart viewing. That’s right, from legendary Queen in English history play on Broadway to one-eyed, dread-locked, bee-phobic taxidermist in Gilliam’s “my inner child is a little girl who plays with Barbie Doll heads” [insert genre here (because no one quite knows what genre this film is categorized under…acid dream?)] <— that was like a mathematical !English equation right there. Whoa. Well, this film is completely trippy and brilliant and really underrated, but that’s okay because it’s probably going to become a cult-classic, as these sorts of films often do. If you look at the past 5 days (<—coincidence! SNARKY AMY FOSTER IS SNARKY!) you will notice (and I probably don’t have to tell you this…so.many.parentheses.wtf.panda?) how incredibly expansive Janet’s work is - if you put Catherine Walker, Veronica Novak, Gertie Lawrence, Mary Stuart, and Dell in the same room…HOLY.BALLS.OF.THUNDER.AND.STEEL, my friends. Character!explosion. Seriously. These women are so vastly different, and I am in fucking awe of Janet’s uncanny ability to portray these various personalities so well. I know that I’m biased, but she’s ridiculously versatile, it’s rather astounding. Anyway, Dell. Fucked up, yet…fuckable (as the delivery boy from the grocery store a million miles away can attest to). Put her in your pipe and smoke her, she’s totes worth it, and you’ll totes not even remotely know how the hell to deal with the high she’ll give you. I don’t even know what I just said. But…yeah. Dell, ladies and gentlemen, Dell. -- source link
