Uma certainly looks like someone familiar in her upcoming flick MOTHERHOOD, you betcha...
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Now this doesn't really seem like our average story here, but we do cover more than the male geek shit sometimes (look at Harry's unadulterated crush on TWILIGHT for example).
We have a picture premiere for a film called MOTHERHOOD starring Uma Thurman, Anthony Edwards, Mini Driver and the great Daily Show regular Samantha Bee which will be premiering at Sundance. I think I'm going to be sitting Sundance out this year, unfortunately, but I'd be making a point to see this movie if I was going... if only that I really enjoyed director Katherine Dieckmann's last film, DIGGERS, starring Paul Rudd, Ken Marino and Maura Tierney.
Here's the pic we're premiering and I'll include a little rundown of the plot below it... Uma certainly looks a tad familiar there...
Looks like she should be shooting wolves, right? Poor Dieckmann... you know they had no idea someone would be in the national spotlight and ruin that look... but on the bright side, if Tina Fey ever wants to take a break, we know who could fill in on SNL...
Here's the synopsis that came with the pic:
Eliza Welch (Thurman) is like any other mom with two kids, a charming but absent-minded husband (Anthony Edwards), her own mom-blog ("The Bjorn Identity"), and the prospect of middle age lurking right around the corner --except Eliza lives in two separate 6th-floor walk-up tenement apartments in New York’s otherwise chic Greenwich Village, and she’s having a day that would challenge even the toughest maternal multi-tasker.
Faced with the prospect of entering a contest to become a columnist for upscale parenting magazine "Lunchbox" AND throwing her daughter’s 6th birthday party, Eliza also has to contend with alternate side parking, a film crew commandeering her block, taking her toddler son to a playground full of overzealous moms, navigating NYC's uniquely hostile shopping lines, accidentally blog-sharing her best friend's (Minnie Driver) intimate secret, and realizing what is truly valuable in her life.… all in one day
I know that doesn't sound like something you'd immediately run out to see, but then again a drama about Long Island clam diggers sounds about as exciting as watching grass grow, but that was a great little flick.

Trashing Palin is sooo last month.
-
Thank you very much.
-
... bearovingian? Poor thing...
-
...and it's all love, but that looks nothing like Palin. Not a bit. Looks like Uma in glasses.
-
I thought she hunted moose. Aren't wolved endangered and given full legal representation by the Sierra Club? Oh, dear. Help.
-
Palin jokes are sooo last election.
-
That's utterly depressing. She's hardly the first attractive woman to sport spectacles.
-
Glasses does not = Palin, at least not in this pic.
-
O.k. first of all just because Uma is wearing glasses does not mean she looks like Palin. that's lame. Second of all how can you say that Palin ruined that look. I think the only thing she did was remind me of how how hot chicks in glasses are. You know who else wears glasses? Susan Surandon.
-
pre transformation then Palin, I actually thought you were refrencing FARGO from the title, not PalinI like ya Quint but I just don't see what you were getting aton another note, if you need someone to do the Sundance reports, I'll volunteer, the power of Oleg compeles you
-
so fine
-
So what, white chicks with glasses are Sarah Palin now? If Uma was playing a idiot fuckin' Alaskan, maybe you could draw a comparison.
-
But it was on the Spanish channels...
I think that's a good thing. -
...not only does Uma NOT look like Palin in this photo, but with so many posts being the wrong type of content for this site of late (SNL? Survivor? half the shows discussed in Coaxial?), this movie seems sadly right at home on AICN.

-
Her and Cate Blanchete Give Me The Ebby Jeebies.
-
Look like Caribou Barbie. A wee bit. I'm sure her wardrobe doesn't cost nearly as much. Maybe we should get Palin to buy more clothes...she was spending so much she could get us out of the recession all on her own if we let her continue.Thank you, I'm here on Thursdays, and please try the steak.
-
...had me thinking that she was going to look like Frances McDormand in Fargo.
-
Although, after having so many kids I wonder if screwing her would be like screwing a bucket of water?
-
see something else. Maybe there will be a pottery exhibit that weekend...or maybe a self-inflicted ball punching contest. God I hope so...
-
do you create a new user name on aicn??? I've been looking on the site for about a half hour and can't figure it out. Someone help my technologically retarded ass!!!!
-
That is all.
-
Agreed. That, or the mom from Bobby's World.
-
She died a couple hours ago...
-
She hunts moose. She shoots wolves. There is no hunting season for wolves in Alaska. but you can get a permit from fish and game or whatever they call it up there to shoot them, since they are so numerous they are a pest. Definitely not endangered.
-
As long as I don't have to see Uma's gnarly toes, this look will be fine.
-
Just askin'.

Bettie Page has passed, Uma is no Bettie thats for sure
by darth_baltar
They sure don't make em like they used to
We will miss you Bettie... -
scalp. Nutsack hair transplant. Very Painful. Long recovery process. Luckily the prognosis is good though.
-
geez, can't find Joe? try yahoo front page...
-
...I'd rather be water-boarded than pay to go see this chick flick.
-
Pass.
-
The resemblence is uncanny I tell ya !!!!!!
-
should do more movies.
-
Gus?
-
should absolutely do more movies. He was great in Zodiac.
-
The most useless Vice-President since Dan Quayle. His main job was apparently simply to convince people that he'd be there to catch the experience ball when Obama dropped it.Now, with every famous Democrat still breathing in Obama's administration, there are so many cooks in the kitchen, Biden's just waiting around in case Obama gets a really bad head cold and calls in sick one day.
-
Now whose style are the emo chicks gonna crib?
-
Peace, Bettie.
-
before being poisoned ivied.
-
glad i was the first to point that out. =)
-
...three kids later. Be all whacked-out, loopy left and throw facts out the breezeway:
1. It's MOOSE...
2. There are 10,000 teacher porn sites out there...this look will never be old.
3. Palin is WAY hotter...unless you want to lecture me about made-up global warming, and save the $#@%$ whales, and blah...blah...bite me.
4. Another movie about the trials of motherhood...PASS!
5. This year was the coldest summer EVER in Alaska...look it up. The reason for it, was Palin in the lower 48 during that time.
6. It's SCIENCE...not conjecture...
7. Nye...OUT!! -
and now she's all frumpled and non-poisonous.
-
All the Joe the Plummers of the world gonna eat this shit up
-
and the box office, this will be #1 of all time.
-
Verne Troyer's chauffeur is in this?
-
in that other Motherhood movie whatever it was called
-
"Gotcha! gothcha where I wantcha it's too late to turn back now...GOTCHA!"
-
Between this and My Super Ex Girlfriend i kind of want to see her start acting again
-
Just watched Diggers on Netflix (watch instantly is very handy sometimes) and it was a great little picture. Funny, emotional, captivating to the end. Thanks for the recommend, Quint.
Looking like Palin though? Very, very vaguely. and my guess is she didn't "ruin" the look for many people at all, whatever they think of her, politically.
I am interested in this movie now, thanks to Diggers. -
The close-up on Uma's unbelievable ugly feet! I mean, Uma is no beauty in any kind, but her feet gave me nightmares for weeks!
-
Hardly. I can safely say with my expertise of actually being from Alaska, that Uma looks nothing like her.
The urge to punch her in the face just doesn't well up like it does when I see Palin's picture.
Uma is an odd gal that's for sure though. I was discussing this with my gal a week or two ago and we both agreed that Uma can be unbelievably hot in one flick (The Producers) and in the next be quite the opposite (Kill Bill).
