Daniel came home from LA! So we listened to Nena and ate crackers in bed and watched Mrs. Miniver and Mr. Skeffington , and I should probably consider meeting some straight men before I'm horribly spoiled, but anyway. I picked Mr. Skeffingon after vaguely remembering that it was mentioned here a while back. And while that review isn't wrong... dude, the movie is awesome! The word "melodrama" doesn't convey it. It was mega-melodrama! Plus, some really funny lines, even before you get to the come-uppance section. And we spent a lot of time wondering what kind of life poor George had.

Though I admit that the score is ultra-mega-melodramatic. When the dramatic chords precede the dramatic things happening, you may have gone a tad overboard.

I mean, okay, it was crazy, yes. But it certainly wasn't boring!

Though I do think The Golden Earrings is still weirder.

Found this at Wizardnews:

> "In response to pieces that have run in various UK media - A spokesperson from Warner Bros. Pictures has issued the following:

"Daniel Radcliffe is an extremely talented actor, as well as a great collaborator and friend to Warner Bros. Pictures. We've had great experiences working with him on our films and fully support him in the artistic choices he makes as an actor."

Has anybody here seen Touch the Sound? There's a trailer for it on the Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill DVD, and I must see this movie. It's a documentary about Evelyn Glennie, a world class percussionist who is also almost completely deaf.

Oh wow, I just went to put it on my Netflix queue and discovered it's available for instant watching online, but I have to go to work soon. Damn.

No, I don't think so, although I've seen Ms. Glennie a lot.

The Radcliffe rumors were crazy. They wouldn't jeopardize a billion-dollar franchise over a stage play. In London. And he very likely has an iron-clad contract for these kinds of things, and the appearance in the play would have been cleared in advance.

I'm going to see "The Science of Sleep" this weekend. I'm really excited--have been ever since I first read about the film.

I bet you'll love it.

Oh! It's fabulous. Provoked a really good discussion between me and DH when we saw it the first time.

(If we were still on TT, I'd be tempted to start a "Gael Garcia Bernal - Brilliant AND Hott!!" thread because of this movie. What with all the hot and the acting and the funny and the GUH.)

I did not love or even like many of Gondry's choices as a screenwriter, but I did enjoy goodly chunks of Gondry the fabulist visionary here and there.
