Jennifer Jolie is one of my favourite ever actresses. She's self obsessed, she's greedy, she's bitchy and she's fictional. She is one of the funniest characters played by the wonderfully acerbic Parker Posey in the movie Scream 3 - being one of the highlights in a semi blah movie.
Jennifer is playing the character of Gale Weathers in the movie with in a movie Stab 3 - Return to Woodsboro, Gale isn't happy at the portrayal but with Jennifer being a huge movie star, they have to work together to find the real murderer on the set of the movie. It's not as confusing as it sounds but Jennifer gets all the bitchy lines that Gale Weathers gets in the first two movies - not to spoil it but Jennifer is killed in the end but she is offed as dramatically as she'd want to be!
Anyway, here's some quotable quotes from Miss Jolie
GALE - I'm sorry that things didn't work out with Brad Pitt, but being single, that's a pretty good fallback.
JENNIFER - It gives me more time for my work. After all, Gale Weathers, you're such a complex character.
JENNIFER - (Whilst helping Gale look for Sydney) Where?!! Nancy Drew want to know where!
JENNIFER - (To Gale) The way I see it, I've got no house, no bodyguard, no movie, and I'm being stalked. Because someone wants to kill me? No, because someone wants to kill you. So now, starting now, I go where you go. That way, if someone wants to kill me, I'll be with you, and since he really wants to kill you, he won't kill me, he'll kill you.
JENNIFER - (to Gale) You know in the movies, I play you as being much smarter
JENNIFER - (to John) Come on!!! You have made millions off the story of her murder. You're obsessed with her and you're obsessed with her daughter!!
JENNIFER - (interrupting a quiet moment between Gale and Dewey) What the fuck happened to you?
DEWEY - Jennifer, wait a minute
JENNIFER - Who gave you a place to stay? Who are you supposed to be protecting?!
DEWEY - Jennifer (she punches him)
GALE - Hey!!! (she punches Jennifer who falls to the ground)
JENNIFER - My - lawyer - liked - that!
JENNIFER - (on her study of Gale's persona) The ruthless ambition, your private self-loathing, and that lost and lonely little girl inside
GALE - Lost and lonely what?
JENNIFER - You heard me!
Parker Posey really chews the scenery in every scene, between screaming at Courteney Cox, running towards a murder plot coming off a fax just so she knows what happens and jumping dramatically into her bodyguard's arms! I love Parker for all her quirky roles and although Scream 3 is probably her most mainstream work, it's also one of her funniest - although A Mighty Wind and Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman are unmissable and will be reviewed later and including all the info about the nutty Miss Posey

I *love* Parker Posey. She's great in House of Yes and Clockwatchers too, and her cameos in Will and Grace as neurotic Darlene are great "Don't come inside this space!"
