And for that reason it's at the top of my list. mm-mmm.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

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

Always Anti-fascist!
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?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
That strip's a classic, P-C.
I think Warner's main reason for wanting to cast so young (and 25 really doesn't seem young to me) is they want sequels.
However, I do blame TV/Movies for the fact that I have a real hard time pegging the ages of people 16 to 24.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
25 really doesn't seem young to me
It wouldn't seem as young to me if it wasn't Tom Welling's age.
