Too bad about Idlewild.
Just had a Very Canadian Movie Session w/M. Hard Core Logo and Men With Brooms. I quite liked HCL, and LOVED Men With Brooms. Just loved

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Sally Hawkins as Anne. . . don't know who Sally Hawkins is.
I don't either, but apparently she was in Tipping the Velvet, which IIRC several Buffistas have read and seen and have big deep love for, so there's got to be someone here with an informed opinion on her. I sortakinda remember a copy of the novel floating about at the LA F2F with some happy discussion of the film version, but not who was doing the actual discussing.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Why are they making another version of Persuasion?

Because they can?
Because P&P did really well?
But ASH in Regency costume!

I didn't see "Tipping the Velvet", and she wasn't one of the leads in that, but she was a lead in "Fingersmith", and very good in that. She also had excellent reviews for a BBC play that was on a couple of weeks ago. I like her.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Tipping the Velvet starred Diana Rigg Jr. (her look-alike daughter Rachel Stirling). Yum! I liked the movie of Tipping the Velvet better than the movie of Fingersmith, but Fingersmith was the better book hands down. Was similar to The Woman In White, only gay! Yay!
t makes note to reread Fingersmith

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
film editing remains perhaps the least heralded and least understood of the cinema's technical arts.
When it comes to udnerappreciated and misunderstood technical arts, I'd put sound ahead of picture any day. Even people who don't really care how a movie is made are, I think, aware, in a vague sort of way, that footage gets edited. I don't think it even occurs to most people how complicated the art of putting together a soundtrack is.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
There something you want from ND today, Jess?
Heh.
