Jan. 19th, 2007 12:09 amAm watching Priscilla Queen of the Desert. What a GREAT GREAT film. What a cast. What a cast. I'd forgotten how damned good it was. And I'd never realised it was Hugo Weaving - and he's almost unrecognisable. What an actor he is.
A song of Ice and Fire to be made by HBO. I'm (like probably every

grrm fan) in two minds about this. I'm thrilled to bits that it will make the screen, and it's better HBO than a lot of other networks but...
ASOIAF is unmakeable. Let's be honest. It has a cast of thousands.
So, I'm reserving judgement. I'll probably have to accept the series in the same way that I watch the Potter films.
I don't know how many of you noticed the wank yesterday, which started with a honest book review on amazon, spread to Smart Bitches and then inevitably to the now ironically named FANDOM wank. ( Read more... )
Cinema Night - Miss Potter
A lovely film, the cinematography is fabulous, the acting is ace, the costumes are wonderful, Zellweger is brilliant. I might complain "don't we have any english actresses" but she really is good.
The only quibbles I have is that it is sanitised and saccarine, it shows a rather kind aspect of her parents, when they were a lot colder than that and until she had her own money was trapped, and that's not shown. It's also not shown what a naturalist she was, how she studies, learned about the way animals were made up (by boiling Benjamin Bunny to see the bones for example). It doesn't show that she actually had to SELF PUBLISH! *shock* and that Warnes picked up her books (which they had rejected) when they had shown to be popular.
However. Note to self. Don't go and watch a film with sad bits when you are still grieving.
