Reader Feedback on "Velocity Girl"
Regarding what the last person, "hype," had to say -- wow, to say that Parker Posey and Janeane Garofalo are failures says more about you than it does their careers, bucko. And Drew Barrymore has a "100x" better career? How so? Last I checked, "Charlie's Angels" and "Home Fries" were pretty damn bad. So more people know who Drew Barrymore is and she has money, she's made shittier movies. As for Parker Posey never smiling or whining, what the hell do you want from your actors? Your stupid comments make me love Parker Posey even more.

One more thing - her publicist should be all over these posts. Parker's a great talent but it looks like career misjudgements from staffing to scripts. She needs to call Reese Witherspoon's people.

Parker has no one to blame for herself for not being a major star. She and Jeanne Garafalo are the two biggest failed actresses of Gen-x. Then both needed to start their OWN production companies, hire a top manager, nurture writers and hire directors like Drew Barrymore did. Drew is half the talent of Parker, but Drew's career is 100x better than Parker's. Why she and Jeanne weren't more proactive in their careers boogles me to this day. Plus, no one likes to see twisted/angry/whiny women in movies which is what she made a career of. Who ever gave her that advice should have been fired 20 pictures ago. I wish she'd stop whining and smile once in a while; perhaps do a cute funny romatic comedy. Throw us a bone once in a while. Snarling was cute when she was 20, but at 30+ it's a turn off. I really rooted for her back in the day. Younger actresses take heed of what NOT to do in your career.

My idea of the total sexsuality scene would be with out any doubt,two ladies and a fellow.The enormous excitement of two ladies carressing each others naked bodies,licking one anothers beautiful lush breasts,rubbing an aroma sensual body lotion onto each others body is the hight of enjoyment and beauty.The fellow would breath onto their necks and feel their gorgeous soft skin touching his lips.Thanks have a lovely day,Truly Yours,Ian. ianbank@hotmail.com

In your interview with Parker Posey you recount the following:
Nerve: You've done thirty films and not a single sex scene, which — for an actress who was in her twenties in the '90s — has to be some kind of record.
Posey: I won't sell my tits. I just don't do it. It's cheap. It's a trend.
I guess Parker forgot a film she made in 1994, Sleep With Me, in which she did have a sex scene with Eric Stoltz and did appear topless.
So is Posey cheap and trendy or just a little forgetful?

take any film without parker posey -- any film at all, it could be anything from back to the future to birth of a nation. now, imagine that movie with parker posey in it -- suddenly the movie has increased in quality by one star. back to the future, a solid three and a half star film, becomes a four and a half star film -- which is of course an impossibility, as you cannot go beyond four stars. in any movie that parker posey is in, one whole star of its quality depends on her. she is a phenomenal actress, and a fantastic interview subject.

Ah, I hate to be the one to bring this up, but Parker Posey did have a sex scene in "Sleep With Me", with Eric Stoltz.
It wasn't lurid or graphic for stupid reasons. It was necessary to the movie. It wasn't a scene trying to sell anything.
I mention this because "Sleep With Me" is probably my favorite movie ever!

The paragraph... er rather question about Parker Posey and sex scenes is not even close to true! The JFK murder scene in 'House of Yes' is the steamist sex scene in any 90's indie flick... playing with danger, incest, and the murder of a president... how is this not blatantly sexual??? (and might i add a fabulous way to turn me on)

Great interview. Parker's thoughtful remarks were "refreshing" (man...I'm tired of that expression, but I couldn't think of something better within my indefinite cut-off period fer spendin' too much time authoring feedback). Anywho, thank you for the intelligent story...too bad the masses are busy watchin' Jules Asner talk million dollar tits with Halle Berry. She does have nice boobs...yup. Shore enuff. How 'bout a follow-up story on Christopher Guest's next movie, and whether Parker is again involved.
