Cueing up these DVD's: Dangerous Liasons, Barry Lyndon, Les Miserables
Around sunrise I will be cursing the fact that I never learnt French well enough to read Eugene Sue in the original and swearing off brandy forever.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Dangerous Liasons is one of my favorites. (And I know I am spelling liasons wrong. There's a random free range I in there somewhere and I always miss it.)
Is this the Uma Thurman Les Miserables? Cause I like that one, too.
Man, good looking and great taste in movies. Is there anything you don't do, Gus?
Sarameg, did you find a place to eat in Gettysburg? I remember eating at a really great Pennsylvania Dutch restaurant there back in 1988--it was in an old house with a few tables set up in each room (we ate on the second floor, IIRC). Great chicken and dumplings.
ETA: There's another "i" between the a and the s--liaisons. I think.
Och! Dangerous Liaisons is the correct spelling. Alas, no. The Les Mis I have is the Claire Danes, et al.
Is there anything you don't do, Gus?
Spell.
Dangerous Liasons is one of my favorites.
This means her real favorite is Weekend at Bernies.
JZ looks too hot to be believable, even. JZ, do you have to style the shit out of that or does it basically do that naturally?
Weekend at Bernies.
This would make one hell of a double feature with Dangerous Liaisons. IJS.
Speaking of frog-marching a dead man around... How in the Hell did John Malkovich ever get the idea he could play a Casanova type?
OK. That is unfair. He pulled it off. I also dimly remember that he had some sort of off-screen illicit liaison with Michelle Pfeiffer in or around the filming of the movie.
Still, I dont get it. Women see things that men don't. Another of life's mysteries.
I fuckin' love Dangerous Liaisons. I didn't really get it at first, because when I first saw it I had yet to be in love, but I knew something damn fine was afoot. Also, Malkovich.
Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich
John Malkovich and Michelle Pfieffer had a thing? Who knew!
I found him very seductive as Valmont, but the real life John Malkovich is not my cup of tea. Then again, I don't find Glenn Close at all sexy, yet many do. I was always mystified by why she was supposed to be so irresistible in Basic Instinct with the poodle hair and all. Different strokes.
