Marilyn Monroe is a fantastic icon of femininity and fashion and style, plus many people dont appreciate just how good a singer she was.

SKm- i just meant that all of the movies she was in she was a Gold-digger that everyone loved... i hate people like that but strangely love Marilyn.

Shadowpapoose- I loved Fido... it's extremely strange but you can't help but love it. I havent seen that in so long... now i have to find it!!!

Just watched A Very Long Engagement with Audrey Tautou and i have to admit she's by far my favorite actress... i loved it. I can't even stop thinking about that movie... how did i live without this movie??
Now the only problem im having is that she doesnt make enough movies.....

I LOVE Audrey!!! If you don't mind reading dubbed stuff she has a bunch of french movies that a lot of people don't watch, but are actually pretty good :)

I did! It was really odd and not what I was expecting. I mean it's silly and all but once you get past that it's actually a good movie!

Shadowpapoose~ Which i'll never understand... people dont know what they're missing... she's amazing.
I dont mind subtitles... i know some French so it's mostly pretty easy but there is the occasional word that has me searching for the subby.

Just watched Rocky Horror Picture Show. Yay!

Tweedle Dum we've found another Audrey Tautou fan!
I'm so amazed!!!
She seriously is just fantastic! I love French movies anyways... So who cares about reading subtitles, haha, I do even if it's English.

The Invisible, which I just watched again last night, isn't so bad for a thriller. I love the twist of character for Annie and Nick as well from seeing her life.
