The what what? Is this the Jane Austen biopic??
The Naughty Hot Romance that you don't know that Jane ever had biopic.
Becoming Jane isn't really a biopic -- it's more along the lines of Shakespeare in Love or Marie Antoinette.
That's the impression you got, Jess? I think that's what bothered me, the trailer was all "
true story
you've just never heard about Jane and her Hot Romance." But I love Shakespeare in Love. And I read the Jane Austen mysteries. I'm cool with "we're just playing here." Maybe I'm internalizing the "single woman must be unfulfilled" implication. And/or thinking too much. Did I mention psycho?
Did it bother you that Mel Gibson added in all sorts of stuff THAT NEVER HAPPENED to The Passion of the Christ?
Actually, never saw Passion. I know the story already. (So, wait, I guess, yes, it would bother me if I saw it).
I think you have to let this one go, Epic. I don't think that movie execs really care about stuff like that.
I don't think the studio execs gave one single thought to biblical correlations/implications.
This, I believe with all my heart.
I guess I don't like the basic premise being "God lied", or "changed His mind", or "couldn't Foresee that Humanity would suck this bad" or whatever.
Seriously? I think the basic premise is "We think that the average American will find this funny." I don't think the studio execs gave one single thought to biblical correlations/implications.
I guess I mean underlying premise.
Epic, that said, I think you're adorable and I feel your annoyance at this stuff, but it's a losing battle, I think.
Thanks, Cindy. I think I just wanted to talk it out a bit with people who would
discuss
rather than just giving me
that look.
(You all know the one). And I think you're adorable, too. Thanks for hanging with me in the annoyed, yet adorable, corner.
*Mwah!*
The only bridesmaid dress I ever had to wear was unwearable as anything else but a formal dress, but still was fairly pretty.
I forgot to wish Seanie a very happy birthday (belated)!!! Happy birthday (belated), Sean!!!!
Kristin, you can just tell them it's your version of seeing Banquo.
*smooches* sis. And YAYAY.
I once attended a wedding where all the bridesmaids loved their dresses. The bride picked out a flowered fabric, and told them to go forth and sew something suited to their shapes. So the tall drink of water sister had a slender sheath with a bolero jacket; the pudgy best friend had a full skirt; somebody else had huge puffed sleeves. ALL of them looked fabulous, and the photos were harmonious.
this is a good idea. What I will proabably do if I ever get married is pick a color from my favorite bridesmaid's dress designer ( watters and watters) and tell the bridesmaids that they can choose any dress that comes in that color.
That's the impression you got, Jess?
I don't know what impression the trailers give -- I saw the movie last month.
Buy Buy Baby has a stupid name, but their stock is almost identical to Babys'R'Us. Their website, however, is decidedly of the suck. I was registered there for about 5 minutes before I ran screaming back to Amazon.
Juliana, YAY! I had a feeling he'd come around sooner or later.
Oh dear doG this meeting is still going on.
Choreographers are involved. Four of them. I think I need to shoot myself.

You want we should send a gaggle of costume designers and/or set decorators to mix things up a little?

No, no, no, just have them choreograph the dance-off in Grease in the style of Martha Graham. That should short out their brains long enough for you to take a shower.
