Hello Ralph Fiennes

21/06/2006

The brother who truly looks fine
Not like that scruffy Joseph. He’s on Inside the Actor’s Studio right now, and he needs a haircut, but he’s ok.

I had a bad day today, I feel like the product launches are less organised, and more conveyor belt. It’s ending up like the crap you get at Sucky Sushi. $1.99 per plate, but you might as well be eating styrofoam. I’ll be happy when we get to Sushi Tei quality, so at least I know I can count on them for a good Sashimi Salad and Steak Sushi.

In which movie did Ralph Fiennes say – Is this the face of a rat? Are these the eyes of a rat?

Ok clue: the next line is – Has not a Jew eyes?

That was a good movie. I just saw it, yeah, about ten years later. But it’s not one of those things that will make you come back from the grave if you didn’t do it before you died. In fact, few things are.

It’s so soothing to hear Ralph Fiennes talk. I think Christian Bale sounds better, but Christian Bale didn’t star in The End of The Affair. That was such a good movie. Julianne Moore is so charming too. Almost doesn’t make you feel jealous she’s frolicking around with Ralph Fiennes.

I first saw Ralph Fiennes in Quiz Show. Admittedly at that time I was preoccupied with the Northern Exposure guy instead, the dumbass I was. The thing I love about actors like Ralph Fiennes and Christian Bale, and to a lessor extent Clive Owen is that they’re not afraid of playing the bad guy. And even when they do it, they still manage to show a three dimensional character, a person who’s not completely bad, or completely good. I suppose it shows somehow, a lack of insecurity. A real person. Who is willing to be seen flawed, like he really is.

That’s beautiful, in the most honest way.
