Happy birthday Keira Knightley

Everyone's favorite extended underbite turns 22 today. Movie fans around the world can rejoice or whatever, if they feel like it.

Hat tip to octopunk for pointing this out. Ordinarily I pay no attention whatsoever to movie stars' birthdays. In fact, I kind of wonder how octo found out. Maybe he was obsessively lurking on her imdb page. Or maybe there's a parade going by with "HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEIRA" banners and a marching band. It is California, after all.

It was a Keira Knightly hate parade. All the goth chicks from that I Hate KK site shuffled by playing Joy Division.

Actually, the comparison between the upcoming Rambo flick and Ingmar Bergman's Cries and Whispers on that Stallone post below confused me. I checked C&W on imdb to straighten myself out. Today's birthday star is on the homepage.

Toot toot! Happy Birthday!

Boy, you sure picked the right photo to illustrate that underbite you keep mentioning. If I get too close to my monitor I might get whacked in the head with that thing.

I don't see the photo, just a box with an "X" in it.

Unles that's what you mean.

From Anthony Lane's Pride and Prejudice review in The New Yorker:

The hint becomes a yodel toward the end, as Matthew Macfadyen strides grimly through a wet meadow, at some ungodly hour, with Keira Knightley squarely in his sights. He has donned a long coat, which sways fetchingly in the mist; obviously it was copied from a Human League video of the nineteen-eighties.... For her part, Knightley has been crisp and quick throughout-—more girl than woman than seems fit, perhaps, and a boyish girl to boot, but ready and able to hold her own in any rally of wits. Now, like the queen in “Aliens,” she extends her famous underbite and gets down to business.... Any resemblance to scenes and characters created by Miss Austen is, of course, entirely coincidental.
