Parker Posey

Ah no. There are at least 2 threads every YEAR.

Last thread dedicated to her. From last year.

She’s one of the greatest.

I’ll never get over reading from a couple people who said that there were a number of actresses who could have done a BETTER JOB than Parker in her character arc on Louis CK’s show, where she played an enchanting crazy woman Louie became infatuated with.

No one could have done a better job. No one has her charisma. She is brilliant.

She has chari

Ignore that stray “She has chari—“ above

Mea culpa. I saw 2022 and thought it was two years ago for some reason. Please disregard this thread, which was far too soon.

I revisited Partygirl and Day Trippers recently and really enjoyed them. She's great, and her Louie arc really was fantastic. Though I don't think much of that office secretary movie that DLers seem to be gaga about.

She has had nothing but praise for Ari Aster, her director in Beau Is Afraid, but I abhor him and cannot bring myself to watch that movie, as much as I’d like to see Parker.

Thank you OP for starting this thread and sharing the Vulture article. I agree with Parker’s criticisms of NYC (who wouldn’t, except the most vapid recent transplants who don’t even care about gritty downtown culture?).

R6 Feel free to discuss her. But your opening gambit included the ridiculous claim that it's been "a few years". Which was completely unnecessary.

There are Jackie O threads bi-monthly!

Discuss Parker every fucking month for all I care. It's always the same old comments anyway. Enjoy.

“Alright, freshman bitches…

AIR RAID!!!”

Legitimate DL based thread bump.

I saw her downtown walking her dog years ago and she couldn’t have been sweeter. I noticed the cute dog and didn’t realize it was her until I looked up.

Love her.

I've seen some of her movies! And some of her TV work! That Parker Posey. She sure is something!

In July 2020 I was in the SJP Collection shoe store with my sister who is a fan of SJP! SJP was present. Parker Posey was there, with a lady friend who was also clearly a SJP stan. It became clear that SJ Parker had not recognized Parker Posey, as she was focused on the two customer-fans who were slobbering stan affection all over the SJP and her shoes.

I was over it. Parker looked at me just at that moment and rolled her eyes in agreement.

It was Cannes Film Festival, several years ago, in the poolside bar at the Hôtel Martinez. I was with my dear friend Ypir and her beautiful son. Chloë Sevigny, skinny, in a sarong on a wooden chaise lounge. Suddenly a commotion, drinks were thrown, Parker Posey was present, words were hissed. Ypir was appalled and cancelled her rare red carpet appearance, schedule that evening at the AMFAR gala at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc.

I have loved Parker Posey since her days as Tess Shelby. I remember an early interview where she said Tess was supposed to enter down a staircase and then have a flashback. The director, unhappy with her first take, yelled “Cut!”

He told her what he disliked and she replied, “Sorry, I’ve never had a flashback.”

She has a great face -- a memorable and distinctive beauty. Seems very bright, too, based on her interviews.

R8 I almost walked out an hour into it but so glad I stayed for Parker! And for Patti Lupone.

That interview was a mess - it was almost comical that they added an addendum to say “this was edited” at the end. It was a series of non-sequiturs, non-questions and non-answers.

BUT I did like Parker’s comments that maybe she is too old for NY now. That NY is for the young. And that it is not the NY of her youth. And how being away during Covid made her realize she could live somewhere else. All thoughts that most every NY-er in their 50s I know has had recently.

Yeah, kind of a boring interview. Would've been interesting to talk more about aging out of NYC.

She's now a women's rights advocate in the UK and holds "Let Women Speak" gatherings in London.

It’s time to park her posey elsewhere, no??

[quote] I was over it. Parker looked at me just at that moment and rolled her eyes in agreement.

And here I didn’t think it was possible to love her more.

What on earth is R15 on about, and to whom is that supposed to make sense?

Of course we all liked party girl, but I really liked her in the Christopher Guest movies

"There will always be a place for me at the dairy queen."

She’s great in Clockwatchers.

She’s great in absolutely everything she’s ever done.

I haven’t listened to her book ‘You’re On An Airplane’ yet, though. And yes I do believe listening to her read it is probably the best way to experience it.

I've loved her since I saw her in Waiting for Guffman thirty years ago.

Love PP. She was great in "Best in Show." So damn funny, weird, wild, oddball. You cannot take your eyes off her.

Best in Show

She’s also gorgeous, which is another thing that adds to her charisma. She isn’t simply a weirdo like Sandy Dennis or that crazy lady from The Shining and Popeye, or just a funny lady like Lily Tomlin. Parker is the whole package.

And yes she’s a little nuts too. Isn’t that great?!

The first time I saw her was in Tales of the City. Small role but very memorable. Hilarious that her character thought a cock ring was a Christmas decoration.

In my mind, she and Amy Sedaris are good friends.

I think she's tremendous.

R28 - I can’t recommend her book more. You’re correct, her reading/performing the audio version is sublime.

R35 She was Mary Ann’s first roommate and said “Fantabulous” without a touch of irony.
