And Jodie Foster as the Mae West character. Rrrrrrrow!
Bugsy Malone: Life on the Street?
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

What's Stage Beauty about, juliana? I vaguely recall seeing a review that made it look interesting, but I can't remember anything about it.

Not Juliana, but it's about Billy Crudup as an Elizabethan actor who spends most of his time in drag, IIRC.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
And for that reason it's at the top of my list. mm-mmm.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
IIRC it's about the time when having female stage actors was legalized.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Indeed. To be precise, he's the last great male actor of female roles on the English stage. His dresser is Claire Danes, and she's the first female onstage after Charles Stuart makes the declaration. Sort of A Star Is Born meets Shakespeare In Love. The real draw, however, is Crudup. He's bloody amazing. Watching as he switches gender in his head and seeing the control he has over his body was an entire lesson on acting.

NPR did something on this. Apparently the Claire Danes character does a good imitation of Crudup's character's impersonation of a woman. Which actually works badly, as Crudup's character exaggerates female characteristics so much (like a drag queen) that when she does it it just comes off wrong.
In'eresting....

Oh! Also, Rupert Everett plays King Charles, and there is a scene wherein His Majesty is in full drag. Fantastic.

Bwah...I'd pay folding money to see Sean's movie, esp. if the teenyboppers are, you know, cop characters with troubled marriages and messed-up prostates and drinking problems. What would you bet that at least one "important' critic wouldn't get it?
