Parker Posey

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.

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.

how serious is/could that be?

recently rewatched guffman and i love her so bad in that one

She's really hot in A Mighty Wind.

Still surprised that
1. anyone confuses her with Selma Blair
2. anyone likes Selma Blair

RIP

Patients treated with antibiotics in the early stages of the Lyme Disease usually recover rapidly and completely after a few weeks of antibiotics, prescribed orally.

Seriously. xp re Selma Blair.

I love Parker Posie. I like just looking at her face and hearing her say words. Especially, "Every goddamn hurricane!"

I enjoyed her part in Frisk as well.

prescribed orally = doctor gets up and makes a proclamation to the pharmacist that you need antibiotics?

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

jennifer - She's weird I can't ask her
She's also not living here at the moment
I'm in queens and staggeringly tired FYI

joe - i can get u a hi rez copy if thats the problem

you sort of know her?

ive met her and i know some people who know her - the problem seems to be that the people i know well only sort of know her and the people who know her well i only sort of know - so theres no one that i can go to and be like listen i need this comedy picture taken for my internet friends asap

maybe i should just print the pic out and carry it w/me everywhere in hopes of seeing her and capturing said comedy photo

Comedy Pictures for Internet Friends: A Coffee Table Book by ICEY

where is the original thred where scott tells the pposey story??? legitimately one of my favorite photos of all time btw

Your art (picture thread)

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.

this national treasure is FIFTY today

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

happy bday pp

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).

Made me rent Party Girl, which is actually a weirdly terrible movie.

love party girl

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).

Campbell Scott being sexy is quite expected.

Tried to stream Party Girl recently but every version I could find had a weird framerate issue where some scenes strobed and the dialogue un-synced.

don't worry, it is p bad

anyone else remember the short-lived party girl sitcom? it was even worse tbh

Never saw it, but I remember it happening.

<Checks IMDB>

CHRISTINE TAYLOR...JOHN CAMERON MITCHELL...SWOOSIE KURTZ...ONLY FOUR EPISODES AIRED

I loved Party Girl. but I also haven't rewatched it since college? I had that and Daytrippers and House of Yes on vhs. I guess I was a fan.

and Clockwatchers!

parker posey rules and deserves a way better thread than this one turns out to be if you read over it

Party Girl is amazing, so is PP.

agree this thread is p lame, but otoh it contains the pic of her with the portrait, which is all-time peak ILX imo

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.

also surely someone can now put that picture on instagram and ask her directly if she will pose for a photo holding it. cmon, someone!

i feel so bad for her, i'm not sure why Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull decided to steal her name and spend years being an obnoxious jerk in public
