Giamatti is such an amazing and versatile actor, and to me American Splendor not only is one of his greatest performance, also is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Wish he could talk about Lady in the Water. I know it gets flak, but I’d love to hear his thoughts.

Producers take note: Giamatti wants to play a Bond villain, and he loves horror (if only Coscarelli could get Bubba Nosferatu going.. alas).

Paul Giamatti is very underrated as an actor and can excel at both comedy and drama. I adore the film Sideways. Nobody is drinking Merlot.❤️

Paul Giamatti said in an interview with Josh Horowitz that he wants to play a rival detective to Benoit Blanc in the next _Knives Out_ film. Get on it, Rian Johnson!

The video is so short and there are so many movies, he gets like 30-60 seconds per film, and doesn’t really get to go into any detail. Cover less movies, or make the video longer.

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson shows us what’s inside her Labubu-laden Louis Vuitton bag. The WNBA MVP always carries two pairs of glasses, depending on what the occasion calls for, and pulls out her favorite snack, a bag of Sour Patch Kids. The most meaningful item in A’ja’s bag is her late grandmother’s coin purse, which she now uses to carry her ID cards. “I don’t put coins in it because my heart’s in it.”
