Michelle Talking Nonsense
Wednesday, December 7, 2011 at 2:49PM To rework an old and enormously stupid cliché, I could see a movie wherein Michelle Pfeiffer reads aloud from the pfone book for two hours and still feel the ticket price was justified. (Though I'd probably complain if she didn't read some of the names with icy contempt, some with 'girlfriend wha?' mall mom familiarity, and others with erotic surrender just to get the pfull range of Pfeifferisms in there). So even when she's spouting utter nonsense like in this video chat with MTV, I love to watch her.
She's talking about Tim Burton and Dark Shadows and in the first screengrab she's saying:
I hope it's successful so we can do a bunch of them!"
In the second she's saying...
That's what we love about Tim's movies. They're not run of the mill. They don't easily fit into one genre. It always is this 'wait and see' kind of thing.
In both cases: utter nonsense! A) she never does sequels and it took her 19 years to make her second Tim Burton picture so don't get your hopes up for several Dark Shadows follow ups. and B) Tim Burton movies don't fit into a genre because they're their own. If any director has a BRAND it's Burton. There is no waiting to see; we know exactly what we're going to get each time. Whether or not that's still a good thing is the subject of debate.
Video is after the jump if you're interested.

I can't see it in my region. Yes, it's one of those.
Anyway, I'm glad it's not the video with Zac Efron in The Today Show (isn't the host of that show rude?) where they said the kiss between them was their idea. Now I'm certain I won't be seeing New Year's Eve. I just can't see her kissing Efron. It's a bit like Sean Penn and Johanson, some things just feel wrong.
Nathan did you see the interview with Tarantino for the Jackie Brown DVD (2002) where he speaks about Hollywood using Michelle if they were making the picture instead of him?
Anyone brings up Pfeiffer I think of you.
'Video is after the jump if you're interested'.
Nathan, we're always interested in Pfeiffer!
'I could see a movie wherein Michelle Pfeiffer reads aloud from the pfone book for two hours and still feel the ticket price was justified'. Oh, well, I think she could sell cat pfood just by singing about it'. And she knows it! Remeber the Pfabulous BBoys...
