Irrational Man

IT’S NOT NORMA DESMOND, IT’S PARKER POSEY

Parker Posey seems to be doing her best Norma Desmond imitation in this outfit at a screening of Woody Allen’s Irrational Man in New York. (Remember, Gloria Swanson played Norma in Sunset Boulevard, and her character often wore head wraps and gold lame.) Actually, Parker more closely resembles Katherine Hepburn and would be a perfect casting choice for Kate’s life story. Parker earned the title of Indie Queen in the 90’s, but she was so thrilled to be cast in Woody’s film, that she admits she burst into tears.

WOODY ALLEN DOESN’T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF

AG075137_01woodycut

Soon-Yi Previn is in New York and looks a little annoyed that her car service hasn’t appeared, but her husband Woody >Allen is more amused at the glitch. Woody’s new film, Irrational Man, stars Joaquin Phoenix as a philosophy professor who creates a stir when he arrives at a small Eastern college. He’s in a state of depression despite attention from a female professor (Parker Posey) and a cute student (Emma Stone.) Ultimately there is a murder involved and that makes the light romance far more interesting.

Emma Stone almost ALWAYS gets it right. She wore this adorable Mad Men inspired cocktail dress to the Cannes screening of her latest Woody Allen movie Irrational Man. She plays a grad student who becomes involved with her philosophy professor played by Joaquin Phoenix. Now THAT’S an acting challenge.
