'Lessons'
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.
I enjoy the movie by pretending it has NOTHING to so with the books.
That's what I ended up doing. I think the glass of absinthe I was drinking helped with that, tho'.
On its own, it's a lovely confection with a great score.
Oh, I love a lot of the songs. Not to mention I spent a very long time when I was young teaching myself how to say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious backwards.
Prosthetics on Keith Richards? Talk about redundancy in abundancy.
I recently learned that there is a biopic of Beatrix Potter coming out soon. Starring Renee Zellweger.
There is not enough NOOOOOOOOO in the world.
From what I've heard, Miss Potter is mostly just boring, not awful. (Since she had a pretty uneventful life, and no huge obstacles in the way of her writing career, making her an odd choice for a biopic.)
Hey, who here has seen Nanny McPhee and can answer a question for me? My parents loaned me the DVD ("You'll love it!" says dad), and there's a tarantula on the cover. I have vague memories of watching the trailer and seeing a Spider As Plot Device. Could someone tell me how frequently the tarantula shows up?
Thank you from your resident arachnephobic goth!
Jilli, I've seen it, and I certainly can't remember it being a major plot point. You may want to wait for someone else to weigh in, though.
See, I like Beatrix Potter (or, well, her art; the woman herself seems to have been inoffensive enough too from what I know of her) but I loathe The Zellweger, as do all right-thinking people.
In the next several days, we plan to see Curse of the Golden Flower and Inland Empire. Last movie we saw in the theater was Volver, which we both enthusiastically enjoyed.

Exotic imagery overload!
