The French-Canadian movies don't face the competition that anglophone Canadian
movies face, since almost every American movie is in English. I can't think of
one except for that Mel Gibson movie about the Aztecs that isn't.

That show was on three years ago! It was six episodes, and she was able to play
opposite her dear old father (who was quite good in his small part), share his
theatrical tradition, and play a snippet of Cordelia!

Sarah's father was a regular on S&A for the entire run. She appeared only in its
last season; in fact, it was her first regular/semi-regular role on a TV series
since 'Road to Avonlea'...and she left that show in the early/mid 1990s.

How does appearing on a successful TV series--which aired not just in Canada,
but also in the States (oddly enough, on premium channels in both countries (The
Movie Network in Canada; Sundance in the US))--equate to being stuck in a rut?

And actually, if they were spoofing anyone in that season, it was Canadian
theatre legend William Hutt--who gladly appeared on the show himself. It was his
last on-screen appearance, which mirrored his final theatre appearance as, you
guessed it, King Lear at the Stratford Festival in Ontario.

The entire series is, for all practical purposes, a satire of the famed
Stratford Festival--at which, I would dare say, a vast majority of the S&A cast
have been a part of at some point or another in their careers. (Including Sarah,
as you probably know.)

What's wrong with Canadian kitsch. What would you rather the Canadian film
industry put out there?

Also, I doubt S&A was meant to be "ground-breaking".

They'd be more competitive, IMO, if their films were seen in more theatres--and
by that, I mean, "in places besides Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver; and for
more than a couple of weeks"--and if they took some of their film budgets and
actually promoted the shite out of their work--ads in newspapers, TV ads, that
sort of thing. Canadian telly--even ye olde CBC--is saturated with advertising
for American films. I'll watch a bit of CBC; and I see absolutely ZERO ads for
Canadian films. Any movie ads are for US films. (Hell, foreign films, which also
barely get any ad time, seem to do better than Canadian films.) I do think the
big reason the Canadian film industry is in dire straits has nothing to do with
"the golden age" being "long gone", or the industry being "tired". It has to do
with the fact their films--to much of Canada--simply don't exist.

Anyway, all of that stuff costs money. It has to come from somewhere. Only a
fraction of the money filmmakers get is from government subsidies (provincial
governments do help some, and--if filmmakers are lucky--they do get studio
backing; otherwise, I dare say they pay out of pocket); and those subsidies are
diminishing, courtesy of Harper and his cronies. (And actually, I'm thinking it
goes back even to when Paul Martin was briefly in office.)

I actually think Canadian theatres need CanCon quotas, just like they're in
place for TV and radio. Require movie theatres nationwide to show a certain
percentage of home-grown films.

The French-Canadian film industry does a hell of a lot better than their Anglo
counterparts; but the Francophones are just as tight-knit, if not moreso. So
that arguement, to me, is rubbish. Like I said, I think it's down to lack of
promotion. If Canadians knew these films existed, and they were playing at their
local moviehouse/theatre, there'd be a better chance of them going to see them.

It was sad to see Sarah regressing to the part of the "ingenue" that she should

Toronto movies/TV is so incestuous. Being so tightly knit means, after a while,
they become tightly wrapped. Slings & Arrows is not exactly ground-breaking
stuff like the original UK "The Office." It's just something mild and sweet and
not really all that creative. Canadian kitsch.

The government should take all the subsidies away from them and force them to
strike out on their own. The golden age of (anglophone) Canadian cinema is long
gone. This incestuous Canuck creative community is just tired, suffering from
tired blood, now. Get out there and compete in the real world, instead of

Marlon Brando was the greatest cinema actor (other than the Great Garbo, with
special kudos to Miss Bette Davis). He couldn't play comedy, and neither could
Bette Davis. (See "Bed Time Story," a very broad comedy he made with David Niven
that was released in 1964, and your jaw will hit the ground. He said he thought
the script was hilarious, and his performance....unbelievable! Worse than him
hamming it up in a mumu with the midget in "The ISland of Dr. Moreau"! I mean,
you'll be in shock.)

Garbo was wonderful in the comedy "Ninotchka," but that was Billy Wilder script
and direction by the great Ernst Lubitsch. She was basically a tragedian.

It takes a light touch for comedy. Sarah, like a Brando, is a "heavy" talent.
(No pun on Mr. Brando's avoirdupois after he hit 50 and didn't diet anymore.)
Katharine Hepburn could do comedy. She was a great star, but not the actress
that Davis was, though she aged far better and was particular fine in her late
spinster roles ("Summertime," directed by David Lean; "The Rain Maker," with
Burt Lancaster; and I'd throw in "Suddenly, Last Summer" (where she is a widow,
not a spinster, but still...manless).

Yet, she was the choice to put Mary Tyrone on screen in "Long Day's Journey Into
Night," not Davis. I don't remember being impressed with her (or the movie, by
the way, which featured Ralph Richardson, and Jason Robards, Jr., the great
"O'Neil" actor of the century -- Brando turned the role he played down as it
struck too close to home), but I was in my early 20s when I saw it. I haven't
seen the movie since, but I've seen the play, and the role might be one of those
impossibilities, like Hedda Gabler. I've never seen a good Hedda Gabler, and
I've seen Cate Blanchett in the role on stage.

Sarah could be a great tragedian. But comedy?

"Dying is easy, comedy is hard," said Sir Donald Wolfitt on his death bed. (He
was the basis of the character "Sir" played by Albert Finney, Michael Polley's
erstwhile friend, in "The Dresser," who was Oscar-nominated in the role. Check
it out. Kind of like "Slings & Arrows.")

Two films in the can and working on a doc for the National Film Board about
memory does NOT equal a "stone cold" career to me. But then, I suppose for some
of you, the only way she'll have a red hot career again is if she sells out,
strips down to her skivvies, and starts making $20M US/picture. (Yes, I'm being
sarcastic.)

She would have been a great Catwoman! And Christian Bale is a first-rate actor.

These types of movies ARE the movies of our generation (post-Baby Boom). They
are MOTION PICTURES. "Movies" like "Away From Here" are cable-TV movies. (And
hey, don't get me wrong. Cable TV movies frequently are better than anything you
can see on the screen, although the Sundance "cute" factor, a kind of conformity
as stultifying as anything the US cinema of the 1950s could have dreamt of, is
certainly a drag! You can't accuse Sarah of falling prey to that. "Away From
Her" was a very fine film.)

She's 30 years old. She has a lot of time to mature as an artist.

Well, at least she hasn't managed to morph in the Great White North's version of
Vanessa Redgrave. I'm sorry about Miss Redgrave's loss, but being remembered of
her pro-PLO/hateful anti-Semitism (cloaked as anti-Zionism) and her support for
the cold blooded murder or Russian schoolchildren by Chechen terrorists (who
made a claim over territories populated by other, different ethnic groups, whom
their warlord ancestors kept under their thumb and practiced genocide against,
something the anti-Russian Western press likes to forget), I realized that the
woman is mentally ill. (Obituaries of her daughter Natasha Richardson quoted her
as saying growing up with her alcoholic, loony-left mother was like being raised
in an asylum.)

Sarah used to cite this loony toon as a role model. And say how she enjoyed
reading Redgrave's loony tune political party's newspaper, "Marxism Daily" or
something. At least she has remained grounded as she grew older and didn't
become some pathetic mentally ill wretch like Vanessa Redgrave.

Of course, Canadians aren't like that, are they (thank god).

There's little doubt that Sarah Polley's career, as both an actor and filmmaker,
has gone stone cold. All the scorn in the world can't change that.

Speaking of Marlon Brando, didn't he don a mumu and appear along with Val Kilmer
in this movie a generation ago?

I don't think a Batman movie can be any worse than this potboiler! LOL!

From a Web site:

"A movie version of the Ramona Quimby books? Starring Ginnifer Goodwin, Bridget
Moynahan, and [shudder] John Corbett? Ugh. Well, Goodwin as Aunt Bea sounds
fine. But Moynahan as Ramona's mom? Sigh. Really, the only acceptable screen
version of Ramona stars Sarah Polley."

I wasn't impressed. Johnny Holmes, whom "Boogie Nights" was based on, had that
certain je ne sais quoi, when it came to his Mr. Joyboy. You just didn't cut it,
baby!

Hey, Marlon Brando was in "Superman." And then he died, and they recycled him
for yet another "Superman" sequel. Some things you can never live down.... EVER!

Wait.  Sarah Polley killed Native Americans?  Just kidding.  There
are some strong feelings here Rob(t?).  Are you her agent?  If so I
could see being upset about getting 10% of her cut for 'The I Inside'
instead of 'Bourne Identity' and I would prepare to send your kids to
community college instead of Harvard.  Otherwise chill out.  I once
posted on IMDB that the stunt-dick in 'Boogie Nights' was mine.
Doesn't mean it's true(although in this case it is).

There's something more sinful about those who waste their talents
performing in useless dreck.

Because she doesn't want to make the big budget, commercial films
everyone else wants her to do ('Dawn of the Dead' notwithstanding),
opting to make the films SHE wants. Because she's eschewed the big
bucks in favour of maintaining her artistic integrity. Because she
doesn't give a shite about being "bankable". Because fame isn't
something she wants. Because she's her own woman. Because she has her
own definition of success...and it sure as hell isn't the same as yours.

It doesn't mean it's the right thing for her.

One?! Quelle bullshite. What about her role in 'My Life Without Me'?
Or any of her other roles? She's always been reviewed well; she will
continue to be reviewed well.

Or what about the big footprint she made with 'Away from Her'--her
first feature as a director? Does that not mean anything?

> She should be ashamed of herself.

(Sarcasm alert!)

Yeah, she should be ashamed she's not an A-lister making $20
million/film, with a mansion in SoCal, blinged out the wazoo, with the
paparazzi stalking her every move, being written about every day/week
in the tabloids, wearing name-brand/designer threads, her soul sold to
the highest effing bidder.

(end sarcasm.)

What the hell do some of you want from her? Seriously.

This is according to a post on the IMDB. Great career move!

There's something sinful about people who hide their talents. The gods
(if not God) punish them.

You know, this is a person who has appeared in a Night of the Living
Dead movie and sci-fi potboilers that get released straight to video.

Who can respect her, as an actress, when she throws away a career
others would give their eye teeth for? Because she wants to stay in
Canada, a country that doesn't give a damn about its own artists but
gives them subsidies like Americans give the Indians subsidies, as a
way to assauge their guilt over the destruction of an indigenous
culture by something more massive (the American economy) that rules
over all? Well boo-hoo-hoo. Americans, Brits and others have managed
to have careers deep inside the belly of the beast without losing
their souls, and have made great careers and done great things. (Think
of Paul Newman.)

It's not like she's Marlon Brando or someone like Richard Burton, who
gave us bodies of work, and then just walked away or made trash out of
indifference. She's put one indelible performance on screen, and that
was a dozen years ago as Nicole in "The Sweet Hereafter."

She should be ashamed of herself.

Here's the link:

They didn't even include a picture of her.

Sarah's "The Claim" co-star Milla Jovovich is ranked at #251. With a
little more than twice the bankabaility of Sarah, she rates a picture.

Who'd have thunk nine years ago that Milla would have wound up the
bigger star?

In Forbes Magazine's 2009 ranking of "Star Currency"  (published on
February 10, 2009), Our Sarah was ranked #512. This ranking was base
don a cumulative score of 3.81, in terms of "Bankability." Will Smith
lead the pack with a perfect score of 10.00 in terms of bankability.

According to the magazine's Web site, "Forbes Star Currency survey
[is] an exclusive look at what the business side of Hollywood really
thinks of more than 1,400 working actors when it comes to ensuring the
financial success of film projects."

Futhermore, "The Forbes Star Currency survey was sent to entertainment
industry members globally asking them to use a provided scale in
ranking 1,400-plus actors as individuals on a range of attributes
regarding their participation in a film, including the actor's ability
to attract significant financing to a project with their involvement;
if their presence guarantees theatrical distribution; if they
significantly drive theatrical box office performance; and if their
involvement is an essential component in securing rights deals for
revenue streams including DVD, pay/free TV, etc."

Here are the top 10:

6 Tom Hanks...........9.87
7 George Clooney......9.81
8 Denzel Washington...9.76

Kate Winslet, whose career as "Best Actess of her Genreation" is the
one Sarah should be having but trned her back on, is ranked #51 at
7.63. Kate Hudson, who took the role that would have made Sarah a star
had she not walked away from it, was ranked #80 at 7.27.

French sexpot Ludivine Sagnier was ranked #1,000 with a score of
2.46. The rankings go on for more than 400 more names, but once you
dip into the 1,000 and up category, there are scores of names of
actors you've never heard of, or who you thought retired a generation
ago.
