Festive Bones


During last night's discussion of The Lovely Bones between Time's Richard Corliss (l.) and director Peter Jackson (r.) at the DGA screening room on W. 57th. Corliss said at one point that the film could almost be Psycho as told by Janet Leigh's Marion Crane from death, especially given (a) the nerdy-normal creepy killer, (b) Crane's sister Lila (Vera Miles) rummaging around the killer's home for evidence in the third act and finding something big, and (c) the killer arriving home before she's finished, forcing her to try and hide/escape.

The Oak Bar's famous mural is titled "Old Vanderbilt House," painted by Everett Shinn -- snapped last night during Lovely Bones premiere party.

As glimpsed in early scene in Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest.

McIver, Ronan -- Wednesday, 12.2, 11:10 pm.

Just by looking at Ronan picture, I got a strong future wildchild-party girl premonition. Something about her hair and make-up remind me of that other Irish-Catholic child actress-turned-superstar-turned-tabloid punchline.

Ronan was great in the Heckering film with Michelle Pfeiffer and Paul Rudd film (he is always better playing a flirt, rather than a man-child), playing MP's daughter. She was a very natural, smart and likable kid - rare for a Hollywood production, and gave probably a better performance than the Acting with a Capital A that Atonement produced.
