Folks, Winona Ryder is 38. I say this not to say "She's so old," or "I'm so old," but as a reminder that she's still quite young, and is very attractive. So why the hell are her current crop of movies making her look either kinda awkward, or old? In the trailer for The Dilemma, they've got her hair looking kind of limp and her clothes sort of dorky (especially in comparison to Jennifer Connelly) until she starts boffing Channing Tatum in botanical gardens (I do think that having shinier-looking hair would likely be one of the results of boffing Channing Tatum):
And in Star Trek, she was quite good as Spock's mother in a very limited role, but given that Zach Quinto is 33, it was always sort of ludicrous casting, even given the aging makeup. Now, long-time readers will know I'm a Tina Fey fan who sometimes grieves at the choices that fine woman has made with her character choices. But she looks lovely, and unexhausted, and is two years older than Ryder, and has a five-year-old to boot. Ryder should get herself hence for some career counseling. Maybe she could do a guest stint on 30 Rock as an up-and-coming comedy writer who makes Liz realize it's time to stop treating herself as if she's ridiculous?
