Carey Mulligan on Letterman

Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 12:20 pm · October 8th, 2009

I love that Paul and the band played “Hot For Teacher” as she walked out.  She handled herself well, I thought.  But, let’s face it — it’s difficult not to think of Letterman’s scandal given the plot of the film.  Speaking of which, I think Letterman totally spoils the film toward the end (and a little in the beginning).  Tom O’Neil has just posted an assessment of the appearance and Mulligan’s place in the race.

Anyway, here it is — Carey Mulligan’s first talk show appearance ever:

    I would have liked Letterman to mention Never Let Me Go instead of Wall Street 2 but I wasn’t surprised. I don’t really think the film will be great (since the book’s strength is Kathy’s narration) but I am really excited about watching Carey and Keira together!!

    About, the spoiler. Yes, he shouldn’t have said that but the ending was predictable. Not that it mattered to me.

    @jim T: both movies’ scripts were mediocre at best although “money never sleeps” held my attention while “never let me go” lulled me to sleep.

    carey is my new girl crush. i just hope the rumors of her extracirricular activities involving my shiapet are false.

    and by extracirricular, i don’t mean their relationship which is all but confirmed.

    Kris, I want to watch the interview, but I want to skip over the spoiler sections. At what times should I start and stop?

    Am I the only who thinks she looks super fragile? I get the feeling she is going to cry.

    Jester: Watch through :45, pick it back up at 1:10, watch through 5:25 and pick it back up again at 5:50.

    Carey definitely is a cutie.

    I love the irony of the lustful older man in “An Education” being name David…
