Claire Danes Continues to Cry, This Time with... →
The trailer for the Claire Danes movie As Cool As I Am has been released, and it is not, contrary to popular belief, set to a whole bunch of Mike Posner songs. It does, however, have Claire and James Marsden and Elton from Clueless who is really getting his time in the sun as a heartthrob for Moms, isn’t he?

“But Danes isn’t too concerned. “Homeland” earned her a fourth Golden Globe on...”
– For the record, I don’t think of it as “criticizing” her cry face so much as “celebrating” it.

Claire Danes Gets All the Emmys, Forever
Awhile back, someone asked me if I’d posted any pics from Temple Grandin. It had been a long time since I’d seen it, and I couldn’t recall any cry face offhand. If there was any, I thought, it would be the scene where she gets into the cattle crush to calm herself down.
Behold! There is cry face! It wouldn’t be a Claire Danes movie otherwise, would it?

The New Yorker? AYFKM?
So, my little project got a mention in The New Yorker, which is just INSANE. The New Yorker! You can see it here:
Generation Cryface
An excerpt:
If you’ve come across the “Claire Danes Cry Face” meme—it began as a Pinterest board and evolved into this viral montage—you’ve seen the meanish, gleeful thrust of the joke: that every scene or movie which Danes is a part of leads inevitably to the...

Anne Hathaway Gives Good Cry Face
Anne Hathaway killed it as Carrie Mathison in this Homeland spoof on SNL. Jazz freakout! And Bill Hader wasn’t too shabby as Saul, either.

Dress Up As Claire Danes’s Cry Face for Halloween →
I wish I had seen this yesterday for two reasons:
1) I would have worn this (obviously).
2) I would have had a timely post for Halloween.
I hope everyone had a safe and sugar-laden Halloween!

Claire Danes Cry Face Supercut
I have two things to thank Slackstory for:
1) Propelling TCDCFP into instant Internet stardom (now eclipsed by the much-deserving Binders Full Of Women).
2) This video. This video is EVERYTHING.

Romeo + Juliet
Little known fact: The greatest thing on the Internet is, actually, Old Lady Movie Night over at Hello Giggles (What up, Zooey D.? I have bangs and I love New Girl. Can we be BFFs?), and Anne T. Donahue (who can totally be my BFF if Zooey D. says no), had this to say about Romeo + Juliet, plus a lot of other hilarious things that you should go read immediately, and this sums it up:

Holy Press, Batman
So I’m kind of blown away by how much press my weird little Pinterest-project-turned-Tumblr is getting. Here’s some more:

Reader Submission and More Press!
From the-tudge, Claire Danes crying in Igby Goes Down:
Also, TCDCFP got mentions in both The Toronto Standard and Jezebel yesterday!
Evolution of a Cryface
This past week’s Homeland was outstanding, both in terms of the actual plot and the cryfaces therein. Every time I took a photo during this scene (Yes, it’s only ONE SCENE), a far superior cryface would follow. So I made a collage, in chronological order.
Most cryface in one episode of Homeland? If not, it’s definitely in the top three.

(Awesome) Reader Submission
From mymotherwasright:
I made this after a “My So Called Life” jag last year. Thought it might be relevant to this very important project.

TCDCFP on the Internets
Slackstory wrote an awesome piece about The Claire Danes Cry Face Project today, entitled Help Support the Claire Danes Cryface Project. And I agree, you should support The Claire Danes Cry Face Project. Perhaps with a submission?
Also, stay tuned for a collage of cryfaces from last week’s Homeland. There were too many to pick just one!
