Mulligan, You Bet

I spoke briefly to An Education's Carey Mulligan -- the big breakout star of Sundance '09 -- yesterday at a post-screening party that was held at Park City's Village at the Yard. Mulligan is easy to talk with and sharp as a tack, which is always the case with the super-talented. She's just starting to happen with the press due to the wow eception to Lone Scherfig's film here at Sundance, but the talent community has been on to her for a while now.

An Education's Carey Mulligan, CAA agent Chris Andrews.

Besides her supporting role The Greatest, a Sundance film which I haven;t yet seen, she also has a small role in Michael Mann's Public Enemies . But her career is only now about to take off.

I couldn't believe it when Mullligan told me she's sat down with Warren Beatty to talk about a project. Beatty is all but out of the business as far as the public is concerned, but he's just as plugged in as ever to the latest whatever and whomever. The meeting happened with the facilitation of her CAA agent Chris Andrews.

I told Mulligan I'd seen her performance as Nina in the Broadway production of The Seagull (which also starred Kristin Scott Thomas and Education costar Peter Sarsgaard) but didn't mention that I didn't recognize her when I saw An Education, probably because she wore a blonde wig in the play. I think I've fulfilled my inanity quotient for the day with this last paragraph.

Especially when it comes to plugging into whomever.

Phone Rings.

"Hello."
"Is this Carey Mulligan?"
"This is."
"Hi. My name is Joyce Hyser. You don't know who I am."
"Okay."
"Do you know who I am?"
"I don't think so."
"Good. That's good. That's probably for the best."
"Okay."
"Is there anyone in the room with you?"
"No. I'm all by me self."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure. I'm all alone."
"Listen to me. You're going to be receiving a phone call by someone who works for Warren Beatty. There going to suggest that you meet with him."
"Oh, yeah. They already called me. I mean, I already met Mr. Beatty."
"You did?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure it was him?"
"I think so."
"Are you sure it wasn't one of his doubles."
"I'm pretty sure. It looked like him."
"They all look like him. That's the point of having a double."
"No, I'm sure it was him."
"Where did you meet him?"
"At a hotel. L'Hermitage, I think it's called."
"Oh my God."
"What."
"Listen to me."
"I'm listening."
"Please. Please, listen to what I'm about to tell you."
"I said I'm listening."
"Oh my God."
"Hello."
"They're here. They found me."
"Who is this again?"
"My name is Joyce. Oh God please no."
"Joyce."
"Stay away from me. Please. Don't do that. Don't do that. No no no no no no."
"Hello."
"..."
"Is anyone there?"
"..."
"Joyce."
"Who is this?"
"My name is Carey. What happened to Joyce?"
"This never happened. Do you understand. Hang up the phone and go back to sleep."
"What."
"..."
"Hello?"

"Mr. Beatty, is that you?"

MM FTW and this chick is never gonna be a movie STAR. Wells, trust me on this. She's great and good for her, but she DOESN NOT HAVE IT and it's easy to see. Too many people get great actor mixed up with movie star. There's a difference. Learn it.

As a professional observer of the industry and its denizens, I must report that it appears to me that Jeffrey is just DAMNED HAPPY TO GET AWAY FROM THE GODDAMNED EAST COAST.

That explains his current ebullience, overabundance of fanboy vigor,/giddy girlish zeal for Mulligan (SHE'S BETTER THAN THE BEATLES!!!) and despite his reported fatigue and resistance to being herded like a veal calf and submitted to the endless Park City indie hype, happy journo blather and East Coast style weather.

He's just HAPPY TO BE WEST OF THE ROCKIES.

It's just a theory but it's based upon many years of keen scrutiny of the key industry players such as Mr. Wells.

Welcome back, JW, remember, you are ONE OF US.

HE reader DeafBrownTrashPunk was initially surprised to find The Real Cancun included among Salon's Films of the Decade series, but it made sense to her after considering Michael Tully's explanation, to wit: Cancun isn't a great film but a "disturbingly relevant historical document" about the eventual fall of Western Civilization due...well, due to many things but at least partly to the pathetic nowhereness of 2003's wanker-class college youth. The film shows us scores of George Bushes-to-be having the time of their lives, and we all know where that leads.

After a long time of searching on various of websites on this winter vacation, at last I find this delicate Mac DVD Copy with easy outlooking but powerful functions. I am a fan of dvd software and interested in studying neo-developed ones. Fortunately, the operating system of my PC is mac and this portable device runs well on it.
I would like to tell you how to use it with very simple words.After installing it, you click the Full Mode button or Main Movie button to select the copy mode that your need, and then elect the copy source from the pull-down menu of source. Finally click button to start the copy.
It is very easy to operate it and what you need is just a few clicks.
