[Sandra Oh](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0644897/') is my girlfriend. Just saw _Sideways_ the other night and loved her in it. And she is the only reason to watch the treacley dreck that is _Under the Tuscan Sun_. I wonder though, much as I love her and want her babies if she really can carry a meatier role, or if she’s just awesome at taking a smaller part and giving it life and dimension. But then maybe she’s just hot. Twiddle ---

Has she mentioned [this guy](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0668247/) yet? I just don’t want to see you getting hurt. ---

I’m guessing **Twiddle** meant this link. I’ll see his Sandra Oh and raise him [Teri Garr](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000414/) ---

She is weird looking to me. I was focused on how weird looking she is when I was watching Sideways. Different strokes I guess. ---

I think she is too, personally. And that IMDb picture just makes it worse. ---

Sigh. I still haven’t gotten this quick reply business down pat yet. That was in reply to \*\*brickbacon \*\*and should say “I think she is [weird looking] too”. ---

She was tremendous in Sideways. I think she’s prettier without glasses. (I agree the IMDB photo is horrid.) I also heard her do an interview with Fresh Air and she’s really thoughtful about her craft. Hopefully the buzz around Sideways will bring her some more attention. –Cliffy ---

> [@Twiddle](#): > > [Sandra Oh](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0644897/') is my girlfriend.Just saw _Sideways_ the other night and loved her in it. She’s nekkid in _Dancing at the Blue Iguana_, which is really really awful film except for the nekkid parts. You may not love her more, but you’ll see more of her to love. Or something. I’m just saying. ---

I really liked her make a lot with a nothing part as a porn actress in Six Feet Under. ---

I love Sandra Oh! She’s amazing. She played Evelyn Lau in a TV version of Lau’s memoirs of being a prostitute and street kid poetess and she was awesome. That was one of my favourite books as a teen and Sandra Oh did not let me down. I noticed she was especially adorable in Sideways and I thought maybe that’s because her husband was the director and he made me see her the way he does or something. I think she’s just gorgeous. She’s very versatile. I think pretty highly of her. If I see she’s in something I am more likely to check it out. I noticed she is in [Rick](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0363029/) which is the movie written by Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket) that I have been dying to see. So I’m looking forward to it extra! ---

Did anybody see her in a very odd movie called **Last Night**? > **[Last Night (1998) - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0156729/)** > > Last Night: Directed by Don McKellar. With Don McKellar, Sandra Oh, Roberta Maxwell, Robin Gammell. A group of very different individuals with different ideas of how to face the end come together as the world is expected to end in six hours at the... I recommend it if you just want to watch something rather weird…and you like Sandra Oh. ---

I found it refreshing that in Sideways, her ethnicity was never made an issue. Her mother in the film was white and her daughter appeared to be part African-American. Sandra Oh actually made “Arlis$” tolerable. Well, mostly tolerable.
