Casey, I love you!

I love you too. Good taste girl! I'm sure you loved that I had to throw in my love for Sigourney Weaver and Jodie Foster. I did have to show love for Kate Winslet too though. She's amazing. I even put in some unconventional ones like Michelle Pfeiffer in catwoman. It's one of my favorite performances ever actually and it is so underrated even though it's actually a very complicated part to play- comic character or not. Everyone must see Emily Watson's performance that I mentioned. It's the greatest ever.

Monica Belluci - Irreversible
