I am the only person in the world who will admit to having enjoyed the perfectly harmless and forgettable “Evolution.”

Moore also had a strange cameo in The Ladies’ Man movie, which was one of the more awful and ambitious SNL character movies I’ve ever watched when I was home sick and lacked the energy to change the channel.

Julianne Moore is one of the most beautiful women in the world. I’m not saying that because I happen to find her attractive. I’m saying that because major fashion magazines and cosmetics companies pay her lots of money to pimp their products despite the fact that a) she’s over forty, b) not a model except after she became well-known as an actress (she’s too short for one thing) and c) she’s not really that big a star.

Remington Steele, well, Stephanie Zimbalist was very pretty, but I thought the relationshiop was more an issue of her personality and intelligence attracting Steele, who was an inveterate con man and thief, rather than some animal attraction on his part, whereas she thought he was hot, hot, hot.

I think the Weather Channel was meant to be a sign that she wanted to predict and control things that couldn’t be controlled.

What other Moore comedies have you enjoyed?

One of the stranger things about Laws of Attraction was how watching the Weather Channel was an indicator that a character was an uptight stuffed shirt who needed to relax and loosen up. I’m still scratching my head about that one.

Still, I enjoy Julianne Moore’s comedies because she’s so ill-suited for comedy. There’s something charming and endearing about the attempts.

That was the one with George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones, right? I couldn’t make it all the way through that one — they just all seemed so unpleasant. Knowing it’s by the Coen Bros. explains that.

This film sort of sounds like Intolerable Cruelty. It’s not the best Coen Bros. film but it’s get some elements of classic screwball romantic comedies.
