Getting on the right Page

Posted by pete at January 30, 2006 12:14 AM

I saw a movie at Sundance called Puccini for Beginners that was easily one of the best of the festival (review here). Gretchen Mol was in it, and I had to look up her past roles to refresh my memory about who she was (she appeared in Celebrity and Rounders, among others). After seeing the trailer for The Notorious Bettie Page, however, I don't think she's going to be hard to remember for long.

Does it look like fairly standard biopic stuff? Sure, but this is Bettie page we're talking about. For those who may be unfamiliar with her, uh, body of work, here's a side-by-side comparison. Page on the left, Mol on the right:

Yeah, I'd still have to go with the original. I'm curious about what they're going to show, and about how much of the Senate investigation they're going to talk about.

Wait, did I just say "Senate investigation" in a Bettie Page post? Have you no decency, Pete? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?

Glad you took Bettie... that leaves Gretchen around for me.

Actually, this could end up being an interesting movie. For real, all drooling aside.

The trailer for the Bettie Page movie actually looks really good. I guess we'll see!

Bettie is hot...but have you seen basshole in that outfit? HACHACHA!!!Squid isn't bad either, but his ass doesn't quite fill out the suit in the same sensual manner.
