She’s in a race against the clock to save her country and her game.
Well done, CollegeHumor. Well done indeed.
I have a serious backlog of reader submissions, and I’m getting through them little by little and in no particular order. This one came in awhile back, from Emma, and I’ve been meaning to put it up. I love the description. Thanks, Emma!
This is the Where’s Waldo of Claire Danes crying faces because you know it’s there but you have to look hard to see it. It’s also on my Tumblr page here.
And Congrats to Ms. Danes for taking home the Golden Globe for her excellent (crying and otherwise) work on Homeland.
Another glorious reader submission from Evening. I still have not seen it, but I can recognize it by the cry faces (and ugly wallpaper). Thanks, thewingedpig!
Here’s another submission from our .gif-ted anonymous friend. This one is from Evening, which I have never seen but clearly need to. About this pre-cry chin-work, She says:
She really does cry in EVERY SINGLE MOVIE doesn’t she? I can already tell when she’s about to cry and when she’s just going to “work the chin” a lil’ bit.
Thanks for the submission, anonymous!
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:
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 moment when her mouth contorts into a grimace, her lower lip trembles, and she lets out a violent sob (or, as last night’s spoof on S.N.L. put it, “her whole face looks like it’s chewing gum”).
I’ll be meanishly, gleefully thrusting some Temple Grandin up in here this afternoon, so feel free to stop back by later.
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.
“I just… I just wish we could spend all of our time on this storyline, and not the dumb one where the kids killed some random lady. WHY DOESN’T ANYONE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS THE ONLY STORYLINE THAT MATTERS?”
A Conversation
Me: Do you think Claire Danes hates me?
The Hubs: I can’t imagine anyone she hates MORE!
Reader submission, from Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Thanks, Amy!
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!
