You just gotta love Julianne Moore

[joeybee12]

Academy Award winning actress Julianne Moore has been so successful that she could probably get her high school renamed after her. At least some people would be for it. Instead, she's joined an effort to change the name of J.E.B. Stuart High School in Falls Church, Virginia, honoring a Confederate general, to Thurgood Marshall, the name of the first African American Supreme Court Justice.

The campaign at the school began in June, following the shooting rampage at a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina. Moore, who attended the school from 1975 to 1977, and a former classmate, producer Bruce Cohen, heard about it and created a petition for the cause on Change.org that had amassed 28,723 supporters as of Monday.

The first time the two collaborated together was in a play when they were in ninth grade. In Tinseltown, they worked together on 2004's The Forgotten.

"When our school was founded in 1959, it was named after Stuart, a Confederate General, to protest the 1954 Brown vs. the Board of Education ruling that ended the segregation of public schools," they wrote. "Today, this school is attended by a diverse group of students who should not have to attend a school that bears the name of a man who fought to keep African Americans enslaved."

3. Julianne as Sarah Palin.

Game Change! Just a brief snippet from yet another excellent film from HBO.

And Ed Harris as John McCain, Woody Harrelson as Steve Schmidt.

HBO does superb films.

Sorry, had to change the video. Here's the trailer.

4. Great movie!

[joeybee12]

5. She was great in that and her emmy speech was great...

She said she felt validated because Sarah Palin gave her performance two thumbs down.

[Lisa D]

7. She was perfect in that role.

May have to rewatch it

[longship]

16. I recommend it.

HBO does an incredible job. Harris and Harrelson turn in great performances as well. And the supporting cast does very well.

HBO has a good track record on film. Too bad they are not released to theaters.

11. She was so good in that!

It's a must-see. The scene where they're trying to bring her up to speed on foreign policy is brilliant - when the advisors realize they have to keep dumbing it down . . . and down . . . and down . . .

Thurgood Marshall High School, the sooner the better.

Bravo Ms. Moore.
