Starting this for no other reason than me wanting to fawn over Marion Cotillard with someone. She has got to be one of the most exciting actresses currently working. Her performance in La Vie En Rose is absolutely thrilling and Rust and Bone should have been a second Oscar nomination. Who else would like to fawn over her with me?
Jordan almost made me spit out my wine with that image.
(And, yes, she is a treasure. A deeply sensitive actress who is absolutely luminous on screen. One of those people who seems destined for this career.)
One of the great living actresses, she elevates every frame she occupies. There's no one better. At all.
She pulled off an astonishing feat a few years back, turning in splendid performances in three very bad films from three of the worst directors alive in PUBLIC ENEMIES, INCEPTION and NINE, wiping up the screen with the likes of lesser mortals like Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio and Daniel Day-Lewis.

She's kind of like this generation's Ingrid Bergman. Brava to all of it!
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali
Don't think she's crazy. Seems like rather than being an actual conspiracy theorist she's simply more inclined than most sane people to give them some genuine consideration. Loved her in Public Enemies (which I thought wasn't a bad movie). Loved her in Nine. Unlike many I didn't love The Immigrant but she was transporting in it.
With no disrespect intended, she was certainly not the only person to question the events of 9/11. Plenty of documentaries out there that are truly frightening. Conspiracy theory or not, it's still enough to make you wonder at times.
And as far as the moon landing footage goes, it is widely speculated that Stanley Kubrick filmed that footage for the government on a Hollywood soundstage. Of course, many of these people also see the face of Jesus in Hershey bars on a regular basis.
Jeez, can you imagine if that's really what 9/11 was? They didn't want to pay to take down two old buildings so instead they killed a bunch of people? How can someone really think that's what it was?

It doesn't make me wonder at all, but I don't have to insist that everything that happens MUST be something entirely different. I knew a guy who INSISTED that every good character in a popular novel or movie series will eventually fulfill a destiny of evil and attempt to support it with any obscure line, scene or passage taken out of context to try and force it as fact because it was more interesting TO HIM and thus, had to have been the creator's intent. The latest 9/11 craze is that the planes had no passengers. I know a guy who bought into that and went berserk on Facebook. I'm sure there is a documentary somewhere that supports this theory for the purpose of making people wonder.
