Looking at her filmography, the only two films I've seen her in are Rules of Attraction and The Illusionist. She was serviceable in both, but nothing very standout. Eye candy, mostly.
Right now I'm reading a bunch of comics and have a whole stack of partially read books. I am working my way through Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series and enjoying it quite a bit. I recently read the first three books of the Nightwatch series and thought they were kind of fun, light reading.
After I finish up some more books, I'm gonna start on War & Peace.

I'd like to read one of Stephen Dobyns's novels. He's one of my five favorite poets--his collection Cemetery Nights has some of the bleakest poems I've ever read. Unsurprisingly, he also writes crime/detective fiction.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Listening to: Mitchell Zuckoff, Ponzi's Scheme, about the namesake of the common pyramid scheme. About two-thirds thru. Quite entertaining and informative. Amusing, too, in how quaint and moral the expectations of businessmen were back in the 20s.
Reading: John E. Wells, 1688: A Global History, a snapshot of a single year across the world. So-so history, rather dry, and lacks a theme tying things together.

Short story. Lovecraft wasn't really a novelist.

Short story. Lovecraft wasn't really a novelist.
His one "novel" is really an overlong short story.

So is there a "greatest hits" comp, or something with the ones that have been been made into movies in one collection (reanimator, from beyond, dagon, etc)

Library of America should have what you're looking for.
