Today's IMDb poll is an
abomination. (click to enlarge)

Who are the fools that vote in this poll? There are
SO MANY things wrong with it I barely know where to start.
2044 people are "not that familiar" with The Lovely Laura Linney's work? And this is the answer that's leading the poll? And her
Love Actually performance (which is good, make no mistake, but hardly the best environment for her superior skills) is the only one challenging it? 854 "don't have an opinion here"?
Driving Lessons- easily,
oh so easily her worst performance- ABOVE her wonderful, stunning work in
Jindabyne?! Are these people on some kind of mind-eroding drugs?
Oh, wait. That's right. Bush is president. It's back to my fantasies, then, where the entire room drops to its knees upon Laura's entrance and isn't allowed to stand until she says so.

Oh, and I want to see
John Adams, but obviously I don't have HBO (or indeed a television here, OR a foot on American soil), so I can but hope that something that's probably too American to be picked up over here somehow is. OR that it's shit. But Laura doesn't deserve that. So I'll take option A, please.
