New Paul Giamatti Interview from Sundance



Playing himself -- or, rather, a kind-of version of himself who volunteers to have his soul removed -- in this year's Sundance Dramatic Competition entry Cold Souls , Paul Giamatti faced some fairly unique challenges: "I kind of forgot that I was playing myself in this ... I kind of felt that (director Sophie Bart) captured, in a funny way, an archetypal type of neurotic New York self-involved actor ... I kinda forgot I was playing myself; and I don't mean that to sound disingenuous about it, but I really did. ..." Giamatti spoke with Cinematical about how much he enjoyed Shoot 'Em Up, tapping into Russian melancholy for Cold Souls through facial hair and headgear and which midnight zombie film he'd most like to catch while in Park City. ...

OMG I want to see this movie so bad. Paul is my future babydaddy. We can have nerdy kids and watch zombie movies together...

That must have been one of his "I need money ASAP" movies.

I can't explain my attraction to him...

Well hell, yes I can. He reminds me of the guy I was on and off with for 5 years.

They look so much alike, people used to call him Pig Vomit as a joke. Really.

I am so dragging my hubby to see it.
[info]eurolymius 20th-Jan-2009 10:36 pm (UTC)
I have a growing crush on this man.
[info]p0intnumber0ne 20th-Jan-2009 10:41 pm (UTC)
I just saw Shoot Em Up and I was like WTF!?
[info]movielooney 20th-Jan-2009 10:44 pm (UTC)
Love him so much. I'd hear his nasal gorgeous voice for hours.
[info]yeahwell_britt 20th-Jan-2009 10:47 pm (UTC)
he always looks so smug like he's have the most fucked up day ever
[info]ponyboy 20th-Jan-2009 10:54 pm (UTC)
I would fuck him so hard, I cannot lie.
[info]_poisonchosen 20th-Jan-2009 11:06 pm (UTC)

[info]jerrivalentine 20th-Jan-2009 11:15 pm (UTC)
Yes.
[info]cinecat 20th-Jan-2009 11:12 pm (UTC)
I love this man! I was just watching Sideways last night. It's funny, the first time I ever noticed him was in Tim Burton's shitty 'Planet of the Apes' remake. He was in full make-up haha, but he was hilarious, and I looked his name up and I've been a fan ever since.
[info]jerrivalentine 20th-Jan-2009 11:14 pm (UTC)
So much love for this man. I can even forgive Lady In The Water.
[info]so_patriarchal 20th-Jan-2009 11:48 pm (UTC)
he is supposed to play my dad in the movie version of moneyball
[info]_poisonchosen 21st-Jan-2009 12:29 am (UTC)
Who is your daddy?

Srsly baby, I will stalk you to get to Paul...
[info]iwokeupitwas7 21st-Jan-2009 12:29 am (UTC)
definitely my most inexplicable celeb crush. Although, frankly, I believe it makes complete sense, but no one else gets it. whatevss.
[info]_poisonchosen 21st-Jan-2009 12:30 am (UTC)
I love you for this comment because I understand. Trust me, I do.
[info]nicknolteshair 21st-Jan-2009 02:53 am (UTC)
I just want to say that he lives in my neighborhood and I saw him in CVS last week. I was really tempted to follow him around but I left him alone. :P
[info]_poisonchosen 21st-Jan-2009 02:56 am (UTC)
Oh, then I must come for a visit, yes?
[info]nicknolteshair 21st-Jan-2009 03:12 am (UTC)
brooklyn heights bb! you're always welcome! :)
[info]_poisonchosen 21st-Jan-2009 03:22 am (UTC)
I would probably die. The largest city I think I have ever been to is D.C. many years ago :(
[info]ididthatonce 21st-Jan-2009 04:30 am (UTC)
He's one of those people who always plays a version of himself. Same with William Shatner and Jack Nicholson.
[info]freeze_i_say 21st-Jan-2009 10:52 am (UTC)
I would love to have an awkward tension-fraught guilt-ridden sexually-satisfying hook-up with him AND I DON'T CARE IF ONTD KNOWS IT :)
[info]_poisonchosen 21st-Jan-2009 12:49 pm (UTC)
AMEN!
