She’s iconic as the action legend Ellen Ripley, but lately, she’s been killing it as Dr. Augustine in Avatar.

In my book, she is massively underrated. The Academy just keeps overlooking her, even though she’s been delivering flawless performances for years.

She’s my absolute favorite actress; I’ve honestly sat through entire movies just because she was in them. Take Ridley Scott's Exodus: Gods and Kings—I saw that in theaters, and even though she only had a brief appearance, she still stood out. 🕺 Then you have the mediocre stuff like Abduction and The Cold Light of Day, or the total trash that was The Assignment, but she still managed to be great in those too.

She was phenomenal in Copycat, and especially in Snow Cake, where she teamed up again with the late Alan Rickman after that genius comedy Galaxy Quest.

She completely blew me away in A Monster Calls.

She’s just so Charismatic. I love catching her interviews on YouTube.

The opening film for this year's Berlin International Film Festival is My Salinger Year.

Found a solid article in German.
It argues that she’s way more than just her most famous role, highlighting how awesome she is in comedies. It also mentions how she wishes her other work got more credit, specifically noting that she was snubbed for her best performance, which the author thinks was in The Ice Storm by Ang Lee.

It’s pretty rare to find an actress with this kind of staying power.
She’s been a staple in Hollywood forever—I mean, think about the massive gap between her first Alien (1979) and Avatar (2009).

She might actually be my favorite actress, hands down. I just love that sharp, intelligent look she gets in her eyes, the way she carries herself when she talks, and those strong, defined facial features. Plus, she’s incredibly sexy.
That gaze and her whole vibe? Absolutely killer.

I feel the exact same way—it’s wonderful—but she's already 70. Man, how does time fly by so fast? 🙂

Turnitin is actually incredible. Even Avatar was decent when I watched it with it.

I didn't even realize he was in Avatar—if I had known, maybe I would’ve actually sat through more than ten minutes of it.

Honestly, I’m just bummed that she and Jamie Lee Curtis—literally the two coolest women to ever share a screen in the last 40 years—only teamed up in that random, mindless chick-flick, You Again. 🤦
It’s kind of like when Al Pacino and Robert De Niro finally shared the screen for once, only to end up in that mediocre thriller, Righteous Kill. 🤦

A Heat?

I've been diving into some of her lesser-known stuff lately, and I actually caught Death and the Maiden yesterday—it was such a solid drama.

Most of this is just heavy Photoshop (left side of the image).

I recently watched The Ice Storm. She plays the cold-hearted bitch perfectly. Otherwise, it’s a pretty good movie—definitely weird.

Great movie.
It’s one of those films you can just get lost in—and that's saying something coming from me, considering I usually struggle to focus on anything for more than ten minutes at a time.

They try to "smooth out" faces in movies too. Total nonsense.

"A Monster Calls" was incredible, but it unfortunately flew under the radar.

She’s aging with dignity.

They went way overboard with the Adobe Photoshop: https://twitter.com/SigourneyWRuss/s...615744/photo/1
