Ray of Light

Last week Deadline broke the news that Amy Adams will star in a movie with a title that I desperately wish I could hear my ex-movie theater manager (throw your hands up if you know who I’m talking about) announce to a crowded lobby is now seating: “Nightbitch.” Adams plays a woman convinced she is turning into a dog. The Amy-Adams-Will-Do-Anything-To-Win-An-Oscar tweets wrote themselves. The foremost question, it seems, whether she really is turning into a dog remains TBD because the movie is based on a book that has yet to be published. That, though, interests us here at Cinema Romantico less then another hypothetical: what if other Amy Adams movie characters thought they were turning into dogs? And more specifically and much more crucially, what kinds of dogs would her characters turn into?

A few thoughts:


Dr. Louise Banks, Arrival: German Shepherd


Ashley Johnsten, Junebug: Golden Retriever


Delysia Lafosse, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day: Pomeranian


Rose Lorkowski, Sunshine Cleaning: Australian Cattle Dog



Susan, Talladega Nights: Pit Bull


 
Lois Lane, Man of Steel: Alaskan Husky


 
Susan Morrow, Nocturnal Animals: Weimaraner


 
Sister James, Doubt: Greyhound


 
Charlene Fleming, The Fighter: Mutt


 
Lady Edith Greensly (Sydney Prosser), American Hustle: Elvira’s Poodle

 
Peggy Dodd, The Master: Frank the Pug, Men in Black
