In awe of Bridget Regan
I'm not sure I need to write any more than the post title, but at the risk of sounding...I don't know what...:
I've watched ahead, now, online, some of the summer reruns that haven't re-run yet for my first-time-viewingness, and I'm up to "Cursed" (ep.19).
The rest of the post I'm writing to Bridget, letter-style:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dearest Bridget,
First of all, I was blown away at the hilarity of "Mirror," not just the writing, the dialogue, but how funny you and Craig can be! I was so proud of both of you. I could not stop laughing. [Ah- that reminds me; Bruce, too! I thought I'd die at his wailing, as Bianca, with Zedd's appearance/body, to her husband. SOOO funny!]
Bridget, you can mug! You have the best plastic face when you want to really ham it up. I had no clue you had such a comedy bone in you....that is great!. :) You totally gave me the creepy crawly ickies doing the jail cell door bit, coming on to the guard...I actually felt the need to go bleach my eyes, it was so good [bad good]!
Then from that, [I watched these in one weekend] to "Cursed" {the one with the calthrop, & Kahlan's 2nd Con Dar, where she accidentally attacks the princess}-- and you just sob on command?! I kind of hate to admit that you broke my heart, though I know it's a compliment to you. :) "Good job!" is an understatement. "Quit that. I hate you" comes closer to my true sentiment. ~Which you've gotta read with a fake pout on my lips, but with pride {for you} in my eyes.
Similarly [back further] in "Sacrifice," when Kahlan is fighting within herself over the choice of the Mother Confessor's ultimatum to her to hand over the male Confessor baby to ultimately be drowned, or watch Richard be roasted by the confessed Zedd--I want to tell you that you did a perfect "confessor's face" [Re: the books], and it was gorgeous, the perfect transformation you did on your face...from torn/heartbroken, to pulling the pain inside, off the face {and yet we can still see it...how the hell do you do that?!? -Translate that?!}, and we watch your {Kahlan's} face cement, go stoic...just as her eyes spill over and her tears fall. Did you plan that? Face blank as eyes overflow? How??? HOW??? Forgive me, I am hating you again.
Though I love you, really (for that).
I would forgive you if you kind of aided the tear thing along, by whatever means necessary...but, honestly, I'm thinking you didn't. Because of "Cursed." Those were real, your face and your sob was real, and it broke my heart. You killed me.
So I totally believe you are capable of doing (unaided) what I just described in "Sacrifice."
You, love, are lethal. (Acting chops-wise.) As Kahlan is "ass-kicking" lethal (as well as in other ways), you are the actor's equivalent.
I'm rather riveted.
Awesome.
Rock on.
Much, much respect {and big hugs},
KtL
Note: This reminds me, I promise a post for Craig, soon, to follow. I have gained much respect with more eps/viewing, and want to let him know. I am hoping maybe one or the other of you will meander by...who knows...? And maybe get a chance to read it. Regardless, others should know! :)
