Welcome to the Lorelai Gilmore Appreciation Thread 115!

The title refers to Lorelai/Lauren's accomplishments this season. She's running the inn and she's nominated for a People's Choice award, as is the show. Go VOTE for them here! We owe her this for 5 straight years of entertainment.

We invite everyone to take advantage of Lauren's growing and dedicated fanbase by taking part in the Lauren Graham Board for more Lauren-centered discussions. There is now a Lauren Graham Appreciation thread very similar to this one there for your enjoyment. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Quote of the Thread

You almost won a Golden Globe?

Almost, yeah. Which is like - I lost. You don't get The Gilmore Girls there, no? But you get Law And Order, I was in that. My mother lives in London and it's always nice when anything I do comes out there, with the possible exception of Bad Santa. Otherwise I'm shipping her tapes of my show by the boxload. It's doing well, and hey it's great to have an acting job in the age of Reality TV.

Post your little hearts out!

Alexis, is your avatar of Lauren Graham?

A. B. Normal

Two words: Pen. Name. Do I get fries with that?

Yes, it's from her movie Seeing Other People. Claire's got "stoner clarity."

oywllalrdy

Hmm...I need to see that movie. Is it any good? What about Bad Santa? I want to check out her movies but I'm not sure...

Nadine

Awesome thread title and caps.

Those two pics next to each other in the first post are stuffing around with my screen *hmm*

re: Bad Santa

he he we need Lorelai to pull Luke aside after he makes her a santa hat and say "f*** me, Santa"

I need to check out SOP (just to see that getting stoned scene) - don't think it's hit Oz yet

It's one of the few LG movies/appearances I haven't seen, so I need to get my butt into gear.
