Chud.com Sarah Michelle GellarSarah Michelle Gellar - "Southland Tales" Movie has been re-cuttedThursday 1 June 2006, by Webmaster Another actress, who actually has a name to care for is Sarah Michelle Gellar and there are not no many accomplishes films at her but an few I can probably enjoy. The talent agent found Gellar a young age and made her screen debut at 6 of each of the 1983 television film An Invasion of Privacy. With all the promise she showed, Barrymore starred as Hannah in the teen drama series "Swans Crossing" (1992) but it was her portrayal of a young and callous rich girl in Al-Lucinda Kendall Hart on ABC daytime soap opera "All My Children" (1993-93), that won her Daytime Emmy Award and spring-boarded her to stardom. SMG’s real mark worldwide, however, was the character of Buffy Summers in the game-changing series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997-2003). She won five Teen Choice Awards, a Saturn Award and a Golden Globe nomination for her role, establishing herself as a cultural phenomenon. Sarah Michelle Gellar likewise has the box office to back her up, with “I Know What You Did Last Summer” 1997), “Scream 2” (1997), “Cruel Intentions” (1999)and way movies like those that help prove she is also a bankable star as well over $570 million times worth crazy in global gross. Beyond her cinematic successes, Gellar has made her mark on television, headlining shows such as "Ringer" (2011-2012), "The Crazy Ones" (2013-2014), and "Wolf Pack" (2023). She has also lent her voice to popular series including "Robot Chicken" (2005-2018), "Star Wars Rebels" (2015-2016), and "Masters of the Universe: Revelation" (2021). In 2015, Gellar ventured into the entrepreneurial world by co-founding Foodstirs, an e-commerce baking company, and published her own cookbook, "Stirring Up Fun with Food," in 2017. Gellar is also known for her close-knit family life, married to actor Freddie Prinze Jr. since 2002, with whom she shares two children. Sarah Michelle Gellar’s commitment to her craft is matched by her dedication to personal growth and unique experiences. An accomplished martial artist, she studied Tae Kwon Do for five years, alongside kickboxing, boxing, street fighting, and gymnastics. Her dedication to authenticity in her roles is evident, such as her commitment to doing her own stunts in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," though she admitted her limits during filming "Scream 2." Her career is also marked by interesting anecdotes, such as her role in a 1982 Burger King commercial, which led to a lawsuit from McDonald’s and a temporary ban from their establishments. Notably, she dyed her naturally brunette hair blonde for her role in "Buffy," and legally changed her last name to Prinze as a surprise for her husband on their fifth anniversary. Sarah Michelle Gellar’s legacy extends beyond her on-screen roles, encompassing her work in philanthropy and her reputation for safety and professionalism on set. She remains a beloved figure in Hollywood, admired for her talent, dedication, and the breadth of her contributions to film and television. Richard Kelly’s Southland Tales took quite a whomping at the Cannes Film Festival recently, with some people calling it among the worst films ever made, and critics walking out in droves during the film’s TWO HOUR AND FORTY MINUTE runtime. I haven’t seen the film yet, but I do believe this may confirm the suspicion I began to harbor after seeing the remarkably missing-the-point-of-his-own-movie director’s cut of Donnie Darko: this emperor is at best wearing nothing but Speedos. The catastrophic reaction placed serious doubts about the ability of the film to get a domestic distributor, and now Kelly confirms to the Village Voice that he’s re-editing the film. "I certainly would imagine that when this movie is seen in theaters it’s going to be significantly different," he says. "I think I have no choice in the matter because I want this movie to be seen... But I want to make sure that we can hold on to the complicated structure because it’s very, very thought-out. We spent years designing it, and I think upon first viewing it rushes over you and leaves you in a daze." Actually, disappointed seems to be the key word, Richard. Some people on the web have assumed that the reaction to Southland Tales is another case “snooty film festival-itis,” which maybe would make sense if Guillermo Del Toro’s genreriffic Pan’s Labyrinth hadn’t been such a huge hit. And if Southland hadn’t been the kind of movie these people usually eat up - complicated and aiming critiques at the modern American security state. In the end, Kelly sounds like the reaction has really done him in. “I can see how easy it might be to be defeated by the system," he continues, "because maybe I’m being defeated by it right now. But at least I got to make two movies the way I wanted to." And if you want to see this movie the way he wanted to make it, you’ll probably have to wait for DVD. 2 Forum messages |
