I mean, Meryl Streep has to be considered a chamelon, since her legend is that no two characters are ever alike because she so thoroughly disapears into character. I'd say Toni Collette is a pretty good chamelon as well. It's rare for a top actor to be a true chamelon, though, because Box Office Stars have a certain "brand" and image to them that comes through in nearly every movie they do, like Tom Cruise or Will Smith.

Does this mean Cody will get arrested for beating up his boyfriend in a few years?

So who are some up-and-coming actors you have your eye on? I'm really rooting for Bailey Madison. I think she's one fantastic little actress, and I think she's going to benefit from the Shailene Woodley effect of being a working child actress but not Dakota Fanning-level famous. I'm also rooting for her t.v. sister Maia Mitchell, who hasn't really worked that much aside from the Fosters and Teen Beach Movie, but I think has a load of charisma and potential. I'm not sure I can see her totally sticking with the acting thing, though. As for the guys...Logan Lermann is great. It's a shame Perks of Being A Wallflower wasn't a huge hit, because he was amazing in that. He's appearing in a lot of big upcoming movies in supporting roles so I generally approve of the way his career is going. His one problem is that he's got Joseph Gordon Levitt baby-face, so it might take him awhile to reach the leading man adult roles. It really does feel like guys don't become major stars until they're at least in their 30's- the only exceptions I can think of are John Travolta, Tom Cruise, Will Smith, and Leo.

I kind of assume we'll see a lot of Dr. 90210 cross-overs here. Janice Dickenson also appeared on Pretty Hurts getting fillers. I did not get the gay vibe off of Nose Job guy that it seemed like others were getting here...and I'm usually quick to jump on the gaydar wagon. Hmm. I thought he looked good and his nose looked natural for his face.

I wouldn't put it past them to messy up the boat at the end of the season and then show them cleaning up for "drama". Kelley is that perfect kind of tall lanky but muscular hot that I like a lot, not covered in tattoos the way most military guys are (it just seems like a few short sleeves) with a boyishly handsome face with just the right amount of quirkiness to it, but I don't know. I get the nagging feeling that something's not quite right with him.

Jodie Foster's 1980 movie, Foxes: I caught the movie on Flixx like 5 or 6 years ago. Jodie Foster plays a 16-year old girl who deals with fast times and broken homes in the San Fernando Valley of the late 1970's. There are rough edges but for the most part, it's a pretty believable tale than the typical melodramas you get about rebellious teenagers. I thought it did a great job of making me feel like I was seeing a particular time, place, and mindset. These weren't kids from beautiful homes in beautiful suburbs/small towns throwing ragers because they're bored, but they also weren't thug kids from bad parts of town getting embroiled in gang life. It was so much more nuanced than that.

I cannot STAND Rebel Wilson. She's like the male version of Jonah Hill, who's only considered funny because they're fat. (Speaking of, the bitchy part of me is glad that Jonah seems to have put back every pound he lost when he did 21 Jump Street.)

Apparently your worries were founded, because the Giver is getting savaged by reviews. Even Divergent had better reviews. Man, I am so disappointed we waited 20 years for this crap. Ugh.

Chris Pratt has been mainly in the funny supporting character role when it comes to his movies and t.v. show roles- this is really his big leading man role. He also used to be much cushier and therefore less leading-man looking. He was basically the proverbial jock who let himself go, although in his case he did it on purpose to allow him to play the funny guy.

Wow, I totally thought that as well- Wil dressed up as Caleb is pretty hot! I generally think Wil would look so much more attractive without the Fabio hair. His face doesn't really suit long hair. I'm glad Wil got out at least one good shot at Nicole considering she's very likely to go. "Oh my god, Zach, this might sound bad, but there's only two froot loops in this house, and you're one of them!" Seriously though, Nicole will say all these bitchy things but try and preface it with something, "Umm, I hope this doesn't sound bad, but..."

I always thought the reason why it was like that was because season 6 was still fresh in people's minds, hence why they voted so many of those cast members back in. Although I would've replaced Howie with Ivette. I seriously wonder if Ivette would have redeemed herself or not, because I got the feeling some serious lightbulbs went off in her head after that season.

My sisters have had a combined total of 5 kids within the last 8 years and I've never seen a big open nursery like that. They stay with their parents in their rooms unless there's something wrong. I love that it took seven episodes for Carter to even have any kind of hint that something is wrong with her "perfect mother".

I'm interested in seeing what happens with Kat and Texas Beauty Queen, because if there's one thing we learned about Kat, it's that when she hates you, she's like a dog with a bone until she finally cools down. I don't know- it looks more like Kelley is going to have some kind of freak-out, based on his alluding to past troubles. That felt like some kind of foreshadowing. It seems like this year the incompetence drama switches over to the deckhands. Andrew is Andrew and Jenniece seems like a nice girl but not particularly suited to the job due to her being about 5 feet 2 and 98 pounds. Eddie unfortunately seems like he's being set up for the heavy role.

They both did it, then, because I clearly remember Kat speaking in a British accent in the scene where Adrienne confronts her and Ben about switching rooms.

I'm pretty sure Andrew was only hired to be the male eye candy and to be this season's screw-up. That would've been funny if he actually had been allowed to have dinner with the charter guests. Jennice and Kelley both seem pretty nice, but I'm wondering if Kelley is going to have some kind of PTSD flare-up. Of COURSE Kat is rooming with a woman that she has issues with. It's not a season of Below Deck without Kat hating one of her stews. I think Adrienne tried to hold out for more money (which was stupid, because the show was a minor hit as opposed to a major hit) and thus got relegated to a season cameo as a charter guest.

Not Sam, who was the tall man-jawed girl who hated Adrienne, but Kat, the blonde Rhode Island party girl who hated Adrienne. Kat seemed to have a bit of a crush on Ben, which is why I think she decided to mime his accent horribly. I mean, I had a British accent wannabee period when I was 20 after watching a lot of BBC America one summer, so I can't bag on her too much. I had to laugh when Sam called the daughter of the vegan dad a spoiled brat bitch. Gee, Sam, takes one to know one, right?

Actually, Lauren Bacall passed away at the age of 89.

Wow, things really do come in threes. At least in her case, she lived a long and full life. R.I.P. Lauren Bacall.

Jeff and Frank still take the tops for rigging, especially when Frank somehow won America's Favorite. What a bunch of bullshit.

The one thing I could see her doing is a line of homemade make-up products or self-made toothpaste, since she talks about doing that a lot. I think she's very lucky to have had a strong training in the fame game while being on the show- she was famous enough that she got a feel for it, but not A-List movie famous so there wasn't that massive amount of scrutiny on her when she was 16 -21 years old, which are prime ages for fucking things up badly. I feel like more than anything, it's getting hyped when you're not ready for it that trips up would-be movie stars. And she does seem to be pretty choosy- her IMDB page isn't lined up with a ton of projects. On a shallow note, I also really like her with the short hair. It looks great. Way better than the short hair on Jennifer Lawrence. It makes her look older, but it also makes sense for Tris to not look like a normal 16-year old girl.

Oh, god, I hope that happens. I've been dying for a great definitive 80's nostalgia movie.

I do not get the "beauty" of Sophia Vergara. This sounds bitchy, but whatever- I think her face looks like a plastic reconstruction of a burn victim.

I always tell myself that karma has to eventually hit Aaryn, because eventually Father Time will work his magic and she won't be a cute young blonde thing for the rest of her life. It's probably for the best she nail down a guy now while her looks are enough to off-set (for a shallow guy) her horrendous personality.

I read the book and saw the movie, and I generally liked Austenland the movie. Although my one big bitch is that they way over-used Jennifer Coolidge. She is great in small doses but really annoying when used too much. (Not that she dominates the film, but she was in there more than necessary.)

The delightful Lost In Austen BBC mini-series, which followed a young woman who finds herself transported into the world of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, is getting a movie remake. This time around, it'll follow a young American woman from Brooklyn who is transported into Austen's world. A new writer has been hired to take over and finish Nora Ephron's script. I'm cautiously optimistic about this. I think it can be good, provided they cast well and remember that this is a pretty niche market and not some big blockbuster potential property.
