Reader Spotlight: Lynn Lee
Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 2:21PM 
"Reader Appreciation Month" continues. Get to know The Film Experience community! Today we're talking to the very delightful and smart Lynn Lee who has her own blog where she muses on film & tv.
When did you start reading The Film Experience?
LYNN: I think around 2005. I remember our mutual friend Nick Davis hooked me on to TFE, and I've been reading it ever since. You bring such great insight, without a speck of pretentiousness, into such a wide range of films. And I love the variety of content on the site - the reviews, the links and blogathons, the first line/last shot series, and of course your raging actressexuality.
Awww thanks. That last part I can do nothing about. It's just who I am! So, what's your first movie memory?
LYNN: The first movie I remember watching at home, over and over again, was The Sound of Music. I loved it, never got tired of it, could sing all the songs before I even fully understood all the lyrics. My first movie theater experience, on the other hand, was really traumatic - my parents took me to see E.T. when I was only 4 or 5, and I still remember crying hysterically at all the scary government men in white suits and E.T. appearing to die. Funny, E.T. is now one of my all-time favorite movies, but I still think it's way too intense for very young kids.
Since you went to Harvard I have to ask what you were thinking during The Social Network's opening scenes.
LYNN: Ha! I knew going in that none of the campus scenes were actually shot at Harvard, so at least I wasn't disappointed on that count. And some of the outdoor shots were actually pretty credible. But the party scenes - well, let's just say that if they had any basis in reality, I must have been going to the wrong parties when I was there.
Okay, three favorite actresses. Go.
LYNN: Ahh, favorites are so tough. Among those working today, Laura Linney is my #1. I first really noticed her in You Can Count on Me, but I remember the movie that sealed my devotion was an awful piece of dreck called The Life of David Gale, which was so terrible that none of its heavyweight cast escaped unscarred... except Laura Linney. Somehow, *she* managed to be fantastic when even Kate Winslet couldn't. I'm also kind of in love with Rachel Weisz, who brings class and intelligence as well as beauty to all her roles. And finally, Emma Thompson: will no one give this woman a role worthy of her talents?
You Can Count On... Laura Linney
Also a fan of Joan Allen (see note for Emma Thompson), Susan Sarandon, Amy Adams, Michelle Williams, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts, Kirsten Dunst, and too many more to list.
How many movies do you see a year?
Not as many as I'd like! Generally between 40-50 - most of them in theaters, if that gets me any extra points.
It does. It does. Have you ever dressed up as a movie character for Halloween?
Last Halloween I dressed up as Gwen Stacy from The Amazing Spider-Man, although I don't think I look very good as blonde. It was mainly an excuse to carry around a clipboard with a picture of Andrew Garfield attached to it.
Ha!

I always loved "Reader Appreciation Month"!!! Greetings from a Greece!!! :)
Love the last question/answer! Now I want to dress up in some way so I can carry a picture of Andrew Garfield too. Maybe I can play Zuckerberg? I already have the flip flops and hoodie. I'll have to work on my doucheyness though.
Love her love for Andrew Garfield.
Also, always loved this feature.
Agreed about Laura Linney! She's just fantastic. Hoping a fourth Oscar nomination is in the cards for her.
