Victor Garber and Katie Holmes Chat About Annie on the Set of Eli Stone
Victor Garber was at the TCA’s and Buzz Sugar caught up with him on the red carpet to talk a little about Eli Stone, among other things. They obviously asked him about Katie Holmes, who has filmed a scene on Eli Stone, which will air on ABC October 21st.
Did you talk to Katie Holmes at all about going to Broadway?
No, we actually didn’t. We talked about, oddly enough, Annie, because she said she’s seen it 60 times because of her daughter. I just loved that that is a part of their life because it is so special to me.
That is so cute that Suri loves Annie so much. That is also one of my favorite movies of all time and I am a huge Victor Garber fan. I was an Alias junkie when it was on and had a time of mourning when it went off the air, lol.
I can’t wait to see Katie on Eli Stone! October seems so far away.

I am a huge Katie fan, but really, isn’t Annie too old for a three year old to watch? What’s wrong with Sesame Street or Barney or Teletubbies? Why aren’t we hearing about Suri being like other kids her own age - instead of like a child in kindergarten? I don’t see that she is that advanced a child - she is still sucking a bottle and wears diapers, for goodness sake!

Anabel, my niece is 3 years old and she has seen Annie and The sound of Music over and over again many times.
Oh, she also seen her parents wedding on video countless times, they’d to actually make few copies because of her.

Suri’s being just like other kids her own age
“I grew up watching the movie version of ‘Annie’ and thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, one of my first songs to sing as a child was ‘Tomorrow’. My father taught it to me when I was 2 years old and I can hear myself on tape they recorded.”
“My two year old daughter loves Annie, keeps her dancing and singing whenever she watches it!”
“I bought this as a Valentine’s Day gift for my 3-year old niece and she loves it! She loves singing along to the songs and telling me how much she doesn’t like Miss Hannigan. It brings the movie back for her!”
“My son loved this movie. He watched it 31 times when he was a child. Now my granddaughter (age 2) loves it. She sings all the songs and begs to watch it. It’s a wholesome, uplifting story with great music. I love it, too.”

“Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow! It’s only a day away.”
If I could do somethings over again, I would skip the Teletubbies, but I did ban Sesame Street from my home when my kids were little.
But yeah, how come the kid does not watch cartoons, only musicals. At that age, it is about what the parents are watching that kids will watch.
Wonder if they are grooming Suri for Broadway or something-ha, ha. Who knows, who cares?
Seriously, they are trying to portray an image to the public, so we are getting a glimpse at their lives. It is like Katie saying her life is perfect. We all know it is a lie because NOTHING and NO MORTAL are that perfect (except Jesus Christ). They are trying to portray Suri as better than your average 4 year old.

Which I might add, most parents with ego problems do: Make their kids look better than anyone else’s.

How do you know she doesn’t watch cartoons and only musicals??
Anabel

So, Hana, what will the 3 year old kids be watching by the time they are five or six year old kids who can really understand what is going on in the movie? Top Gun? The Firm? Magnolia?
Why not play a cd of the songs?

Katie said her life was perfect?
Funny how tabloid stories on Tom and Katie become fact. It continues to baffle me.
Hana
Jul 30, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Anabel, they can watch movies/musicals/TV shows that are age appropriate.

Hana: You got on another poster about not looking at all the facts, yet you consistently cannot read an entire comment. So, here you go again:
I SAID:

Mary: Katie in interviews have said her life is perfect. I believe it was the IN-STYLE piece she did.

Anabel…………What is wrong with Suri watching Annie?
It’s a wonderful classic movie. Appropriate for any child.
Hana

I loved Annie as a kid. I have seen kids watch musicals so they can dance around to the music.
Mary
Jul 30, 2008 at 2:30 pm
I don’t recall Katie saying her life was perfect in interviews………. She has spoken about TC as a father and husband and how generous and kind Bella and Conor are.
The tabloids go on about Katie’s perfect and then set about with unbelievable stories/covers in an attempt to prove the story they’re trying to push.
Anabel

Is Annie too old for a five or six year old? I think Katie is trying to have Suri grow up to fast. In fact, I think a lot of mothers are pushing their kids to be older than they are.
Taking a toddler to a Spice Girls Concert or to a Broadway play is really ridiculous. There are plenty of wonderful performers for children out there. Puppet shows,etc…
What happened to reading Dr. Seus, Peter Rabbit, or Winnie the Pooh?
Couldn’t the Madeline tea party at that hotel when Suri was one year old waited until she was four years old? And now the American Girl doll thing. She’s only three years old.

Christ are you guys serious? You think there is something wrong with watching Annie, wow.
I a sure Suri watches other things, they were not the topic at the time.
Katie has never said her life is perfect, not in the sense that you spin it. I am sure she has her problems, didn’t she say recently she had a battle of the thighs? And the paparazzi? Let the girl be. She is doing her best.
Hana

Anne, I think someone is playing with us! LOL!
Anabel
Jul 30, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Anne, it was me who thinks Annie is not age-appropriate for a three year old. I pictured her sitting down and watching it- and not understanding the story line. How can a three year old understand the plot line???
If, like someone said, she was just dancing to the music while it played that would be more normal.
Mary

Anabel: The Madeleine Tea Party at The Carlyle u is held every weekend and has been a Carlyle Hotel tradition for years.
Parents take kids as young as Suri to Broadway shows and the as far as I understand it members of the Spice Girls themselves had their own children there, some younger and older than Suri.
We have reports of Suri receiving books and dolls for her birthday and Anerican Girls also has dolls, one of which Suri was holding in the pics we saw.

Anne, I laugh when I hear that Katie said she “has a battle with her thighs!” That girl has beautiful thighs! Really, what has she got to complain about!

I highly doubt that Suri watches Annie or any other show because she enjoys the plot line. She is only 2 years old, after all. She probably watches and enjoys it because of the music. There is NOTHING wrong with any child watching Annie or The Sound of Music regardless of their age. And noone ever said that Suri only watches Annie and no other show or cartoon. That is assumption that is being made. I don’t know why someone would have to say that Suri watches Annie so she can dance along to the music to make her doing it more “normal”. I would think that anyone with any ability to reason or think logically would be able to make that assumption on their own without someone else saying it to them because it makes SENSE. People make WAY too much out of things in my opinion and it seems to be done in an effort to criticize.
Hana

Lilianne, is there a way you can post here more often? :) I enjoy reading your comments because its very neutral.
Lilianne
Jul 31, 2008 at 7:49 am
Hana..I appreciate your comments and thank you for them. As for posting here more often…I often come to read the comments but don’t add my own unless I feel the need. I often feel that the environment here is not conducive to intelligent discussion because most let their emotions get in the way. This is not to say that the posters are not intelligent or to criticize others….so I hope noone misunderstands me. I just feel like some here lash out when they are not agreed with and most of the time I have neither the patience or the tolerance to deal with that.
Anabel
Jul 31, 2008 at 7:51 am
Then whoever said it is at fault. Not the people who read it and make their own assumptions. It could have easily been stated that Suri loves to dance along to the Annie or The Sound of Music movies.
To put other people down for their opinions is not nice. And YOU are the one who is criticizing others. You show a holier-than-thou attitude, Lilianne.
Lilianne
Jul 31, 2008 at 8:05 am
Anabel, you are correct that I came across as a know-it-all and for that I apologize. I realized that I could have worded things better after the fact. I still feel that my point is valid, however. I just should have said it in a different way. I am not perfect, though and make mistakes the same as any other. Again, I am sorry for making you upset and for “putting others down for their opinions”. That was not my intention.
Lilianne
Jul 31, 2008 at 8:06 am
One last thought…I must tell you that your comment to me saying that I show a holier than thou attitude is no nicer than what I said and by saying it to me you are doing exactly what you accuse me of doing.
Hana
Jul 31, 2008 at 8:22 am
I understand what you mean Lilianne, most people including myself let our emotions get in the way because sometimes some comments are so frustrating but I’ll try my best not to lash out at anyone.
Anabel, I don’t think Lilianne was putting anyone down for their opinion. She was simply stating her opinions (very politely I might add) just like everyone else. I’ve read most of her comments here and at JJ and she has always come across as a very neutral person about celebrities unlike most people on blogs.
Anabel
Jul 31, 2008 at 8:26 am
Lilliane and Hana, Other peoples opinions are just as good as yours. Was I impolite?
Lilianne
Jul 31, 2008 at 8:35 am
Anabel, I have already apologized for making it seem like I thought your opinions were not as important as anyone else’s. Doing so is not kind and I am sorry for doing that. Other people’s opinions are just as good as mine and I never thought otherwise. What else do you require of me?
Just please, don’t hold me or anyone else to a higher standard than what you do yourself. Isn’t that what you said I did? If you are going to take me to task for unkind behavior then in fairness you should recognize it in yourself. And if you won’t or can’t then please do not point out my flaws. It isn’t fair. And calling me “holier than thou” is being critical and not valuing MY opinion.
Hana
Jul 31, 2008 at 8:36 am
Anabel, I didn’t say my opinions are good…there is no good or bad opinion….they’re all opinions! We’re just having discussion.
Lilianne
Jul 31, 2008 at 8:36 am
Thanks, Hana, for your kind words…but Anabel is right that I didn’t state my point fairly. I was doing exactly what I had just criticized others for doing. And I am sorry for it.

I think a child as young as Suri is, would just watch Annie or any musical for the music. Some of those songs are fun for kids to dance to…I doubt she understands or cares much about the plot or the story. My girls watched stuff like that when they were that young..

________________________________________
I thought it went without saying that kids love Annie for the music not the plot lines. If people were not nik picking, they would realise that all she meant was that her little girl enjoyed the music. I think that goes without saying. If we dropped the magnifying glass with which this couple is scrutnised and not attach hidden meanings to every move they make, we would comment on them more rationally. Those who are always looking for fault will easily find it (don’t remember who said that). That is why such a simple story is interpreted to mean Katie wants suri so seem cleverer than an average child. I doubt Garner would be accused of the same crime if she made such a comment. That is because no one would be looking for a fault.

Liliane, I’m sorry I took your criticism of my opinion to heart. Like you said, “I still feel that my point is valid,” I feel the same way about mine, and the other posters, for that matter. I do respect your opinions. It’s interesting to read the different opinions from all the posters. Discussion is interesting.
And Lilianne, I apologize about the “holier-than-thou” remark.
Thanks, Hana, for being a sweetie.

I don’t for a moment believe that a two-year old sits thu a two-hour movie. She probably likes bits and pieces that she and her mother sing and dance to. The way some of these articles are written are misleading and that’s why people take exception.
Anabel
