Gosh, Uma Thurman. Is she only forty? It seems like only weeks ago I saw her walking her dog through Union Square Park. Actually it was more like 16 or 17 years ago. Her career has been a great success, when you consider that her talent has been a tad, shall we say, one-note. Really the pinnacle will always be Mia Wallace. It’s a winning performance, chiefly in that the character of Mia Wallace speaks to the fact that pretty women, initially enticing and mysterious, can so often turn out to be haggard and boring.

Today’s Winner: the aura will continue to increase as time passes. I couldn’t stand the guy for the first ten years of his career. But he persisted, and he won me over. And I trust the general weirdness surrounding the guy will be a gift that keeps on giving. Especially if either of his and Steffi Graf’s kids ever choose to pick up a racket.
