The Genevieve Bujold appreciation thread:


And what a great sense of humor she has, and I've loved her in every movie I've seen her in. "Last Night", "The House of Yes", "Earthquake", etc. Oh, other Genevieve fans, please show us your enthusiasm! :woohoo: :yourock: :loveya:

1. Great actress.
And personally, I'm glad she decided not to do "Star Trek: Voyager".

5. And she's done so MUCH, too.
I had no idea how prolific an actress she actually was till I did a little search on IMDB. :wow: Something like 60 movies!

6. I did too! I forgot about that!
She has the most classic poise I've ever seen. "Please sharpen the knife" she'd said, "I'm lucky I have such a little neck".:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :hi:

11. Is she the obsessor or the obsessee in that one?
I think she'd do both beautifully. Especially since she's gifted with her almost "too muchness", if you see what I mean.

:D

21. Story line with a twist. Both characters obsessed with eachother
but for surprisingly different reasons. Genevieve was very young in this.

19. It's a French film set in WW I France
Bates is a Scottish soldier who is lost and wanders into a French town seeking refuge. The town is populated by an odd group of characters including the beautiful ballerina played by Bujold. What Bates' character does not know is that the regular residents of the town had fled in fear of an attack and in the confusion the gate to the local insane asylum was left open and the inhabitants left the hospital grounds and moved into the abandoned homes and shops.

Quirky, to say the least.

20. Proof that wrinkles cannot hide beauty.....

?path=pgallery&path_key=Bujold,%20Geneviève&seq=20

SS, One of my favorites is "Last Night". She was wonderful as the older woman seducing the younger man. Also the first film I ever saw the wonderful Sandra Oh in.

22. That. Was. AWESOME.
"Last Night" was one of my favorite films ever because it expressed a certain sweetness in the resignation of humanity at the end of it. I can't say enough good things about that movie.

She pulled off the "French Teacher" so well. There it was, the last day of the world, and she had the pognancy to urge a pupil to keep up the good work. Sandra Oh was magnificent too. :yourock: :yourock: :yourock: :pals: :pals:

27. It was...
I have a thing for end-of-the-world flicks. Starting with "On The Beach" many, many years ago.

And Last Night is right up there.... a very under-appreciated movie.

Thanks for the thread, SS!!:thumbsup:

29. Wow- so do I.
:wow: I'll bet you and I could stay up all night at some outdoor cafe and talk about end-of-the-world movies.

"The Day After"
"Deep Impact"
"The Rapture"
"Strange Days"


Some better than others, but it's such a fascinating topic.
And "Last Night" was far too unappreciated. :yourock:

34. Deal.
Sounds like a good reason for me to visit Chapel Hill again. Love that town. :toast:

I don't know the four you listed. My favorites:

"Dr. Strangelove" (the absolute greatest)
"Fail-Safe"
"On The Beach"
and "Last Night"

I was in a discussion about this a few weeks back. I'll try to find the thread for ya :)

26. Swashbuckler with Robert Shaw
Made my heart pitter-pat for pirates long before Pirates of the Caribbean came along.

35. Pirates make my heart pitty-pat too.
What is it about them? A particular intense gaze from the eye not under the patch? Their wanton lawlessness? :D

38. Was that really her in the nude scene? I'm betting it wasn't.
Stunt double for the naked-body-swimming scene, probably. Still, it made my seven-year-old body tingle when I saw it in the theater.

I don't think my parents knew there was going to be a nude scene when they took me to see it. B-)

28. She's magically babelicious
She's a robo-babe. In Latin she would be called "babia majora"



In 1994, she signed on to play the lead character, Captain Nicole Janeway, in the American television series Star Trek: Voyager. However she dropped out after filming just a few scenes of the series' first episode, stating that a TV series work schedule was too demanding

Great actress I didn't know she was gonna be the first Janeway though.

31. magically babelicious!
Do you know in an interview recently she called herself a "F-O-B"?

A person's sense of humor makes him or her all the MORE delish! :bounce:

40. My favorite of hers: 'Choose Me' directed by Alan Rudolph
Edited on Mon Aug-28-06 06:51 AM by Richardo
:thumbsup: and :loveya:
Thanks for the tribute, Sugar!! :hi: :pals:
A little known movie from the early 80s, but well worth a rental...

This critically praised sleeper stars Geneviève Bujold as Dr. Nancy Love, a romance-phobic radio sex therapist who inadvertently becomes roommates with Eve (Lesley Ann Warren), a sexually uninhibited bar owner and one of Dr. Love’s frequent callers. Handsome, smooth-talking mental patient Mickey (Keith Carradine) comes to the bar and proceeds to woo and confuse both women as well as an aspiring poetess, Pearl (Rae Dawn Chong), who suspects Nancy is having an affair with her abusive French husband, Zack (Patrick Bachau). As the wild nights progress, all the women find themselves drawn to the mysterious Mickey, arousing the wrath of Zack and ensuring hilarious, moving, and thought-provoking moments. It's a dreamy concoction of sex, love, and brilliant dialogue, all wrapped up in a purposely artificial neon-drenched atmosphere with deliriously romantic music from soul crooner Teddy Pendergrass.
