Well said zorro. Despite the billions spent on intelligence gathering and law enforcement, there will always be occasions when one acts out whether from mental instability or misguided passion/bankrupt ideology. One of our greatest problems is the ability of private citizens to purchase extremely powerful weapons that have the capacity to inflict great carnage in a very short period of time. Until we are able to enact radical gun control legislation, we'll continue to experience these kinds of "mass shootings."

The seagull is more of an ensemble piece, but if the director wants, he can focus on her character and make it seem like she is the lead( like what happens in The Crucible movie with Abigail). I don't know if its true thought.

This really isn't news but a small number of tweets from a film writer that'll put a smile on jlent's face:
Tomris Laffly @TomiLaffly Jun 18
(Though I absolutely never undervalued Dario Marianelli's score, Jacqueline Durran's costumes & Saoirse Ronan.)
Tomris Laffly @TomiLaffly Jun 18
Think I undervalued/unfairly dissed many aspects of Atonement in '07. This film's a stunner. Already planning a 10-yr anniversary piece.
Tomris Laffly @TomiLaffly Jun 18
This might just be the best fashion moment in any 21st century film.

My God, Saoirse Ronan is even better than I remember. -

I had to go find the originals. "best fashion moment in any 21st century film" is Celia's green dress.
If you ever want to be amazed and have some time to kill, watch "I Could Never Be Your Woman" and "Atonement," made a year later, back to back.
Mind. Blown. -

Sorry about that jlent. I should've linked the image. Wright IMO has a strong visual sense, perhaps his most obvious talent.
It's true the roles are strikingly different, and this fact is a testament to the ability she has had all along.
The writer contributed to Awards Daily along with other outlets. Being an immigrant herself, she was deeply moved by Brooklyn. She also went to see The Crucible early on during the previews.
Less than a month now until Saoirse gets back to the film world. -

Sorry in advance if this feels intrusive jlent and scast., but this just reminded me of my "origins" towards this actress.
The first film where I watched Saoirse Ronan was Atonement, just by randomness, it was the first half of 2009 (movie was on some premiere TV channel by that time), I was so highly impressed by all the big and little details in that performance (I generally don't like child actors, 90% of the time) that naturally after that, I went and seek out what else has she done, next film I saw her was I Could Never Be Your Woman, and what you said "Mind. Blown" was and still is my exact reaction, I'm a loyal follower of her work since then. -

Intrusive? Scast and I barely know each other!
For the triple I always like to add "Death Defying Acts." It's not the best movie ever made but it's Saoirse's most animated role to date (if you don't count The Crucible) and makes the perfect triptych of back to back to back acting triumphs. -

Oh, that avatar is a portion of an image from Michelangelo's sculpture La Piet vaticana

Don't know where to post about this, I know it's, to some degree, hard to find new pictures of her with the correct usage rights to be used on her wikipedia, I recently found an 88th Academy Awards event picture of her from ABC TV that fits under the reuse rights, here is that site:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/disneyabc/25241965782
and this is a direct link to the precise picture:

I wonder if anyone reading this would want to change that wiki profile picture to this, a much more recent one, because I don't know how to do it. -

I didn't want to start a separate thread, so I'm linking the good news about John Crowley here:

Congrats to him for being offered a major project. -
jlent — 9 years ago(July 21, 2016 07:27 AM)
I doubt she will. This was just me being wildly speculative. Crowley and Saoirse obviously have a great rapport but the boy is the focus.
But she DID do that bit in Weepah Way For Now out of, I assume, friendship and this would be bigger than that. (Almost anything would.) -

I looked into this and surprisingly Wikipedia doesn't accept photos distributed under the ND 2.0 licence:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Upload/Flickr
Much like yourself, I initially assumed the photo would be fine as the restrictions attached to ND 2.0 merely relate to appropriate attribution and the creation of derivatives. As it's been a few months since your post, I searched for alternatives on Flickr, but unfortunately the current photo remains the most recent one that is acceptable on Wikipedia. -

There's a different photo up now on Wikipedia from the one back in July. The new one isn't great but is still a far sight better than the old one.
This was the old one, or something similar to it, taken at the Berlin Film Festival for a showing of Grand Budapest Hotel. She looked fine in other photos from the event and she's wearing Valentino. This shot just didn't work.
