Aimee is me. It looks like costume eye candy. Which is much the way I felt about The Age of Innocence, and the sets/costumes for Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

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.

The exact reason I will go see it. I expect to spend most of the movie going "Oooh! Want that dress! Oooh, shoes pretty!"

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
This movie will not make you like her, unfortunately.
Yeah, well, I dislike the actual Marie Antoinette as well. She was a twit. So I'm not surprised.
Jess, do they actually use more modern music as the soundtrack to the film? Or is it just in the trailer?
I am not a fan of 18th century dress. (Except for sea captains. *coughJackAubreycough*) And France at that time was entirely too white-focused for my tastes.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Jess, do they actually use more modern music as the soundtrack to the film?
Yes, the entire soundtrack is pop music, and it works brilliantly.

Oh, *awesome.* See, ya'll go for the costumes, and I will go for the soundtrack, and we all will be happy.

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

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
I knew I would want to see it after reading a description of the opening scene that has Dunst choosing pastries to Gang of Four. A still of which is featured in Tom's link.

Love this in the ratings/parental warning line at the end of the review:
It has glimmers of sexuality and brief glimpses of naked flesh amid all the fabulous clothes.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It has glimmers of sexuality and brief glimpses of naked flesh amid all the fabulous clothes.
Good lord, that could describe any F2F.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Did everyone see the Manolo Shoeblogger post on the shoes in Marie Antoinette?
