 Oh, I don't know.
 I think Winona is capable of almost anything.
 But I am am almost certain that Michael Moore is drinking a vodka and tonic.

Winona Ryder 'slummed it' on the set of low-budget movie The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee and had to rely on co-star Keanu Reeves to get her to a coffee shop.

The actress insisted on simple comforts when she signed on for the gritty indie movie - but she had no idea how simple they'd be.

She says, "Little did I know I would be in Danbury, Connecticut, without a rental car, living off a highway.

"I had to rely on Keanu, who had the car he drives in the film, to get me to Starbucks - that's how low-budget it was." »

“I’m getting a lot of horror movie offers… but I just don’t like the ones where you have to cut off your own arm to escape the killer.” Actress WINONA RYDER isn’t a fan of slasher films.

i'm gonna take a guess and say that she's not a fan of the saw series 
it'd be pretty sweet if she did a horror movie...though they do tend to suck nowadays...it'd be something new

Since the article mentions her talking to BlackBook Magazine, I hope that means she'll be the November cover feature!

2009-10-25 14:43:02 - Winona Ryder was hurt by reports she was jealous of Angelina Jolie's Girl, Interrupted Oscar win - because she always knew her co-star would win gold at the Academy Awards.

Winona Ryder was hurt by reports she was jealous of Angelina Jolie's Girl, Interrupted Oscar win - because she always knew her co-star would win gold at the Academy Awards.
The two actresses played mental patients in the 1999 film, and Ryder, who also produced the film, insists there were no hard feelings when Jolie was nominated and then went on to win gold for Best Supporting Actress.
She tells Black Book magazine, "I was hurt that people thought that. Everyone assumed I was really jealous because I thought this would be my vehicle.
"We said from the very beginning that the actress who played Lisa (Jolie's part) would probably win an Oscar, because it was the big, great, showy part. I fought very hard for her (Jolie) to have that part."
But Ryder admits she never really got to know Jolie during the making of the film
and the actress has never thanked her for jumpstarting her career and helping her land an Oscar.
Ryder adds, "It won't read in print very nicely if I say that wasn't really her style. But she seems to be a completely different person now."

I liked the UK promotion more - at least she was doing mags there that had a wider spread....after C Mag another one that doesn't have international sales... 
On the other tidbid - I think Winona would've had the means to rent her own car if she really wanted to....

With all these recent quotes that have been popping up, there just has to be a magazine feature on the horizon... right?

Winona on Johnny Depp and Matt Damon:

"Matt couldn't be a greater, nicer guy. I'm really lucky that I'm on good terms with him. With Johnny, it's like we're good, but we lead very different lives." WINONA RYDER on ex loves MATT DAMON and JOHNNY DEPP.

Well, I suppose this is the first time she talking about the relationship with Matt Damon.

Robert Pattinson loves 'Reality Bites': Is R-Pattz the new Ethan Hawke?
by Kerrie Mitchell
Categories: New Moon, Twilight
During interviews for EW’s upcoming cover story on New Moon, Robert Pattinson revealed that he and I have something most trivial and intriguing in common: an appreciation of the 1994 Gen X drama Reality Bites. “I really like Ethan Hawke in it. And I liked Winona Ryder. Actually, I liked everything,” he told EW senior writer Karen Valby. �

I thought this was interesting. I had no idea that Ricci and Mol were in talks at one point.

Winona Ryder, Depeche Mode Factor in WOW Lawsuit
November 24, 2009
 World of Warcraft maker Activision Blizzard is the latest target of a lawsuit by serial suer (or professional plaintiff) Erik Estavillo.

Filed this morning in the Civil Division of the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, the civil complaint charges Activision Blizzard with “deceitful” business practices, as it “continues to maintain a harmful virtual environment to many of its customers by forcing them to follow the game’s sneaky and deceitful practices.”

Among Estavillo’s claims is that WOW is designed for a gamer “to walk or run at a calculated slow pace, resulting in the player taking longer to get where he or she needs to go in the game.” This slow pace, says the plaintiff, leads to a longer time needed to finish game play or quests, in turn leading to more subscription revenue for Activision Blizzard.

Estavillo also complains that faster transportation is not available until a player levels up accordingly, or purchases an expansion pack.

The plaintiff then likens his health problems (OCD, Agoraphobia, Panic Disorder, major depression and Crohn’s Disease) to the afflictions that ailed the late EverQuest gamer Shawn Woolley, who took his own life on Thanksgiving morning in 2001.  Estavillo stated that he “doesn’t want to end up like Shawn did as he [Estavillo] relies on videogames heavily for the little ongoing happiness he can achieve in this life.”

Estavillo subpoenaed Depeche Mode founder Martin Lee Gore and actress Winona Ryder to provide testimony on his behalf regarding the subject of alienation.

Gore was subpoenaed because “he himself has been known to be sad, lonely, and alienated as can be seen in the songs he writes,” and Ryder because of her and Estavillo’s common interest in the J.D. Salinger book The Catcher in the Rye. Ryder would be able to, “explain the significance of alienation in Catcher in the Rye and will also testify to how alienation in the book can tie to alienation in real live/video games such as World of Warcraft.”

Estavillo is seeking punitive damages of $1.0 million and a court order that WOW implement changes that address the issues of his complaint.

Other lawsuits filed by Estavillo include one against Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA), following a banning from the PlayStation Network, and a recent suit that targeted Microsoft and Nintendo—the former over an Xbox 360

hahahahaha oh my god 
this inspires me though...I got a paper cut on a page of a book I was reading today and it still hurts...so maybe I'll sue the publishing company for making the paper too sharp? I guess...and then maybe I'll subpoena Winona...because Winona reads books, so she can understand the pain that one gets from a paper cut while reading...sounds like a plan   

[Gary]

that guy should spend some time in jail for wasting the court's time with that crap.
