Yes, that's a good thing. It's exactly the movie it promises to be
Excellent. I have a friend who really wants to see it (Cusack fan from the Better Off Dead days on, much like myself) and this recommendation seals the deal for me.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

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'll go see it when it comes out. I hemmed and hawed and missed The Wolfman in theatrical release, so I need an excuse to go to the cinema soon.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm really looking forward to it, I was very into the Savage Steve Holland movies back in the day, but it'll probably be a rental for me.

All this talk about costume dramas makes me want to go home and pop in my dvd of Amadeus. I haven't watched that film in ages.

Because books.
I bought Amadeus at the same time I bought Liaisons, Kathy! I love that movie beyond reason.

I think that Amadeus is one of the best films of the past thirty years. Such an amazingly good film!
ETA: And Milos Forman is a all-too-frequently overlooked director of quality. When film critics talk of top-notch directors, his name is rarely mentioned except as an afterthought.

Have never seen Valmont and probably should. Also, will probably end up watching HTTM at some point.
