Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape  

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Definitely American.

How do you know? Is that information readily publicly available?

If you have a kid who's raised most of her life in the UK and therefore probably has an English accent and may or may not have the citizenship, what's the problem with casting her?

Is the citizenship the dealbreaker, and if so, how would we know what she has?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

How do you know?

Maybe I'm conflating my terms. She was born to an American mother at an American hospital (Cedars-Sinai) which makes her a permanent American citizen.

But that doesn't make her not British.

I think her nationality is irrelevant. It's the likelihood she's inherited her mama's acting chops (or complete lack thereof) that worries me.

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

JKR's deal with the movie studio requires them to only hire British actors.

JKR's deal with the movie studio requires them to only hire British actors.

And Irish, presumably?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I screened This Christmas this morning. I was surprised at how good it was. Quite the assortment of complex and flawed characters. This is not your feel-good Christmas movie. The many plot lines failed to come together in a neat little bow at the end. Overall I thought the message was, life sucks, but it's easier with family.
