recalling scarlett johansson
Last night, about 11 p.m., I was folding clothes in front of my parents' TV set. I found myself flipping between (opening day) Australian Open tennis, the Will Smith movie "I Am Legend", and "The Other Boleyn Girl". Incidentally, could Natalie Portman be any more comely in this movie?? I mean, there are many examples, but this scene will do...
Hello! Like my grandma used to say, she's a pistol ;) Anyway, though it's all good fun, I didn't continue watching any of these shows after the clothes were folded....
So the next morning I'm lying in bed, just waking up, and for some reason was trying to remember who played the other Boelyn girl (Mary). I could picture her, and bits of Lost in Translation (plus whispers of a solo album...). But the actress's name: nada.
At that point, I told myself I wouldn't get out of bed until I could remember! Period. So, I drifted back asleep, and upon awakening got the impression (or feeling) that there was a "Jo" in it (I kept thinking of Milla Jovovich). So I now had that going for me...
Then, a little later, after waking up again, it just clicked in: Scarlett Johansson. :) Time Elapsed: ~ 2.5 hours.
So overall, it was an interesting little game, and I knew I'd remember eventually. Still, I am kinda curious what I would have done if I hadn't remembered her name (especially come lunch time...)
