FUN EVENINGS

POSTED: Dec 19.09

But I often forget to take pictures. Last night, for instance, Richard and I went to dinner with Rod Stewart, Penny, his wife, and Kimberly, his actress daughter whose mother is Alana. While Richard spent the time talking music with Rod, Penny, Kimberly and I had some wonderful conversations about acting, and finding oneself after being lost, and relationship (the need for give and take and the need to know when it’s time to which). Then we went to Rod and Penny’s to watch the new Jeff Bridges film, “Crazy Heart”…he’s been nominated for a number of the awards for his role in this and, as always, he is stellar. I love this time of year when looking at dozens of movies in a week or two is justified if one is a voter…and I am a voter, so I turn into a movie glutton. This year more than I can remember, people seem to be deeply divided in their likes and dislikes. One person will say “(500) Days of Summer” is the best movie they’ve seen and another will scream with astonishment, “No! That’s the worst,…” I loved “It’s complicated.” Meryl blew me away even more than usual yet I was almost asked to leave the table the other night when I expressed this because some hated it so much.

Oh Well.

Had not heard of ‘Crazy Heart’ but I will definitely make a point of seeing that film. I Absolutely LOVE Jeff Bridges, think he is an amazing, talented actor (as well as a compassionate human being). I looked at the website/trailer, and I can’t wait to find this in a theater.

Vote you heart or mind in films one never can tell. I did hear that Colin Farrell and Jeff Bridges have both good singing voices and worked good off each other. Jeff Bridges is from a Irish family background. Well Jane ,:acting, and finding oneself after being lost, and relationship (the need for give and take and the need to know when it’s time to which).” That sounds interesting , I think the give and take takes place during the divorce someone gives and someone takes . That is acting, I was told that 50% is a Act.

Dear Ms. Jane Fonda

In case I forget, I do believe it’s your Birthday, on the shortest day of the year. Happy Birthday. This year I wonder what new undertakings you will pursue. Keep on rocking.

Meryl Streep rocks in every possible way. Can’t IMAGINE anyone hating her work – or was it just the film they hated?

Something must be wrong with people who can hate, even a little bit, a movie with Meryl. Diane Keaton called her “our generation’s genius”
She’s right!!!

Although I’m not a voter, The Hurt Locker is the best movie I’ve seen this year…Meryl Streep never acts poorly!

Hello Jane,

It certainly sounds like a very fun evening! I am looking forward to seeing those movie’s as well.

If I don’t get a chance to let a message tomorrow because of trying to dig my way out of our beautiful snow storm that we received yesterday, I will say it now, “Have a wonderful birthday Monday.” Do something exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take care,

Melissa from SNOWY Pennsylvania

How can anyone hate anything that Meryl is in. Even if the movie is not so hot, she is amazing always. Opens here on Boxing Day (26th), I will be one of the first in the queue!

Agree with Karen!
Meryl and Tom Hanks never disappoint me in any film they’re in. Looking forward to ‘Its Complicated’ too.

My fun in the evening is talking to my family and sleeping.
I just like sleeping after a hard working day
