More Melanie
This David Poland interview with Melanie Lynskey is fun to watch so soon after her warm and movie-lovin' guest blogging right here. My favorite part is when she talks about being stuck between "leading lady" and "character actors" (3:33) and Nina Arianda fans will be happy to know that she also compares Nina's magnetism to Kate Winslet's way back in Heavenly Creatures in that it was obviously and readily clear that the only life outcome for certain actors is major film stardom.
Later in the interview she also reconfirms that she's a geek for film critics, citing Mary Pols and Glen Kenny ("so grumpy") as two of her many favorites. So, yes, unfortunately we don't have her all to ourselves here at TFE. But scratch "unfortunately" as we don't want her to hide that light under a bushel anyway -- happy to share her with the cinephile world.

I'm so glad that the world is appreciating Nina Arianda. I'm obsessed with her.
Is this a good place to mention that the LA Times today RAVED about Melanie in her new movie. The movie itself got a pretty good review, but the vast majority of the review was just a love letter to Melanie. I mean Best Actress kind of gushing.
Congratulations Melanie!
