This is a thread about Parker Posey.

Parker Posey.


Is there a film she's been in that she *hasn't* stolen? Why does she remind me of vince vaughn? is she maybe better as a bit player than as a star?

(she totally outshines reese witherspoon in Legally Blonde, which is what inspired this thread.)

Sterling Clover (s_clover), Monday, 11 July 2005 03:06 (eighteen years ago) link

i know people who think she was slumming her part in guffman -- mocking white trash instead of becoming the character. whatever, i say, it's just comedy.

I think you're thinking of Selma Blair in Legally Blonde, but yes, Parker Posey is awesome. She's terrifying in Dazed & Confused.

I......WOULD......HIT IT........

Frogm@n Henry, Monday, 11 July 2005 03:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Guffman is, like, the only movie where she's not slumming! There's way more interest in and exploration of that character than, like, Party Girl.

haha omg, "this is a thread about the wrong actress. the wrong actress!" i was so totally thinking of selma blair. i am terrible with mixing actors up unless i look them all up and think really hard.

oy vey. (was she TRYING for a parker posey in legally blonde, or am i just a total incompetent with actors, or both!?)

Your search - air raid bitches - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:

- Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
- Try different keywords.
- Try more general keywords.
- Try fewer keywords.

Excuse me, thank you. Alright you little freshmen bitches. Air raid! That was pathetic. Let's try it again. That means get up you lazy little bitches. Get up. Air raid. That was horrible you little slime balls, you little freshmen sluts. Get up, get up. Up, up, up, air raid!

That's what's fascinating, is that not only this school but the entire community seems to be supporting this, you know. At least turn their heads. I mean they apparently gave permission to use the parking lot. No parents seem to mind, you know. There's only concessions you know, I mean...

I know.

We seniors, we tried, we gave you all a chance but since you little prick-teases, can't follow instructions. We're just going to have to try something else won't we. Seniors. You love us, smile. You love us.

I'm not sure if she stole subUrbia, but everyone else in that kind of sucked so it's a definite possibility.

I'm never quite confident I'm getting Parker Posey's first and last names in the right order. Parker Posey? Posey Parker?

Ah, but how does one steal a movie that oneself is featured in? This, I fear, is a question that may not be answered!

parker manages to be annoying yet fabulous all at once. selma blair, on the other hand, just manages the annoyin part. phil-two needs to post on this thread, bcz he sat next to selma on a long flight and has funny stories of her airheaded unpleasantness.

lauren (laurenp), Monday, 11 July 2005 11:18 (eighteen years ago) link

I like the way her first name is a surname, while her surname is a first name. This suggests that she is a back to front kind of person.

DV (dirtyvicar), Monday, 11 July 2005 11:35 (eighteen years ago) link

I was flipping through channels and saw her face, so I stopped... She was pretty funny in Josie and the Pussycats.

Loved her in Guffman & Best in Show (That's not a BEE! It's a BEAR in a BEE COSTUME!)

She seems to have slightly paired down her once-maddening ubiquotousness. And she said some lovely things about my daughter when we ran into her at a deli on 4th Avenue once, so she's cool with me (even if she's dating Ryan Adams).

She was ubiquitous in the mid '90s, wasn't she? I dug her in Basquiat and The Daytrippers.

Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Monday, 11 July 2005 14:11 (eighteen years ago) link

Clockwatchers is good.

House of Yes is phenomenal: "You be him. I'll be her." *shudder*

elmo (allocryptic), Monday, 11 July 2005 14:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Her hands look weird in that image.

She was good in House of Yes, but I thought the film was very poorly adapted from the play.

Paul outta Santa Cruz (Paul in Santa Cruz), Monday, 11 July 2005 16:27 (eighteen years ago) link

she is FANTASTIC in the otherwise useless Blade 3

jones (actual), Monday, 11 July 2005 16:33 (eighteen years ago) link

She's from Laurel, MS so the whole "mocking white trash" comment way upthread is pretty funny (to me at least!)

gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 11 July 2005 16:37 (eighteen years ago) link

House of Yes features the only recorded appearance of Freddie Prinze Jr looking hot as fuck.

Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Monday, 11 July 2005 16:44 (eighteen years ago) link

wow. laurel, miss. she's lucky she graduated high school 5 years ahead of me. cuz she just missed getting her ass kicked by me in humorous interp at national forensic league speech competitions. assuming she participated in nerdy actory/speechy type things, which i'm sure she did.

andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Monday, 11 July 2005 16:56 (eighteen years ago) link

She's really hot in A Mighty Wind.

Nevada Lime (nordicskilla), Monday, 11 July 2005 16:57 (eighteen years ago) link

I saw her off-Broadway in "Fifth of July" and she was quite OK. Her best film role could be that nasty sister in "Henry Fool."

Haha, contrary to my earlier comments, I agree--especially the fight scene with Ryan Reyolds. She was also really great in Josie and the Pussycats.

C0L1N B... (C0L1N B...), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 03:48 (eighteen years ago) link

So I guess she should stick to ultra honest Del Close-school improv characters or ridiculous crazy, campy bitch roles.

C0L1N B... (C0L1N B...), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 03:50 (eighteen years ago) link

two years pass...

Sooooooo I want to see how people feel about her more 'serious' work, if you will - I just saw 'broken english' and thought she gave a pretty convincing performance, albeit one that seems close to her real-life personage (manhattanite, smart). Anyone else have other Posey serious suggestions.

No Blade jokes, please.

Hello Gracie, you're a good little girl
It's a beautiful world, knowing you're out in it
Last time I saw you playing in the yard
You were running with children and the old people were smiling

Do you miss me would you know me at all?
If you walked by my house would you smile and turn the corner
I'll blow you kisses, only make you feel worse
You know you've gotta make the best of the time god has given you

I scratch your name into a wall on the beach with my keys into the side of the pier
I used to sleep so I would dream I was lying with you midsummer
In the grass, in the fields

Nobody was right, nobody was wrong
But somebody had to go
Nobody appears so nobody is gone
Hello, goodbye, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Oh

I scratch your name in my arm with my keys on the beach on the side of the pier
I keep your picture in a frame on the wall of my place down the block
far enough away, it's like I'm not here

You're in my heart and you're in my soul
So I have to let you go
You're in my heart and you're in my soul
But I gotta let you go
Hello, hello, hello, hello
I gotta let you go
Hello, hello, hello
I gotta let you go
I gotta let you go
Goodbye, goodbye
I'm gonna let you go
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I'm gonna let you go
Hello, hello
Hello, hello
Hello, hello

Parker took Ryans dog. That song was the result. Best vocals he ever recorded.

joe - ive attached this photo of parker posey - i know you kind of know her and i was wondering if you might facilitate something - only of course if u think its funny and not creepy - im not sure on that point - anyway this guy i know scott painted tons of pictures of different celebrities in this style and is totally not a parker posey stalker at all - and his brother was working on a movie or photoshoot or something w/her and scott got him to give her the painting and take this picture which is super hilarious - anyway i personally think itd be super hilarious if we could print this picture and get her to hold it in the same fashion as in the pic - whatd u think

Columbus feels like a great film every so often, but a little self-consciously so; also found John Cho rather bland. Haley Lu Richardson's really good. Posey gets third billing but doesn't have that a big role.

she was living in vancouver for a while recently as she was filming that show lost in space and a few people i know have stories of bumping into her - including my barber, she was dining at the resto next to his shop and saw his dog through the window and came in to give her a pet after she was done with her meal - but i haven't had the luck

her book is p funny. Her chapter on working with Louie CK is interesting but ultimately leaves things a little opaque (focusing, as it does, entirely on her personal experience of briefly working with him).

Saw The Daytrippers for the first time... Liev Schreiber is p funny as her supercilious would-be novelist bf. I think the movie is kinda stolen by Campbell Scott, who is unexpectedly megasexy picking up PP at a book party (after failing to do the same with Hope Davis at his publisher's office).

clockwatchers was the best of those, that I remember. I love Parker Posey. She gets the best episode of the new boring High Fidelity series centered around her and has what are IMO the only actually funny scenes in the entire thing, and they're really funny.
