Coupla things

[serafina20]

One: If anyone cares, the guy in Vanity Fair, James Purefoy? Is Damien on the Dominic/Damien icon soft_princess made me. He's cuter on the icon, but I hope he'll be more interesting in the movie than he was in Mansfield Park.

I'm excited about the movie. It looks pretty.

Two: Today went better. Mildly. Except I noticed that annoying teacher has a habit of starting sentences and not finishing them, and doing it in such a way I have no idea where she was going with the sentence she started. Thus, I be very confused.

And, three: generally, if the only thing I have to say on a subject is, "I'm so excited," or "I really want to see it," or just, "I liked" something? Don't harsh my buzz. Don't tell me it sounds dumb, don't knock whoever/whatever I'm talking about, don't tell me everything bad you hear about it. That's the sort of pointless negativity I can't stand. If it's not up for critical discussion (and usually, critical discussion involves trying to look at something from both sides, like most of my reviews of things), if you don't agree, then just don't say it.

I don't mind it so much, though, if I don't like something and you try to tell me why you did. Because that's a positive action and sometimes, when someone shows me something through their eyes, I'll be able to view it more positively.

Hey there.

I'm excited about the movie. It looks pretty.

Indeed it does. Mira Nair always uses such a gorgeous palette of colors in her films (Kama Sutra was stunning), and I'm curious to see how she added the Indian touches to the film-- you can see bits and pieces of in the previews.

And my apologies if I spoiled your enjoyment of Val/The Ten Commandments. Truly. *hugs*

I don't think I've ever seen anything she's (?) directed, but I honestly don't usually know who directs what. I'm not a very good fan. *hangs head*

Don't worry about it, really. It was just *everyone* who posted had to knock it and that bugged me. One, I can handle, but more than that and I feel like everyone is tromping in to tell me what an idiot I am. And, beleive me, this has acutally happeend in real life, so I'm sensitive. But, in retrospect, I probably overreacted to your comment. Sorry.

Have you seen the original trailer? Good lawd that's a lot of pretty. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. I much prefer it to the current previews.

And I absolutely LOVE the music they use in that particular trailer (it's "Nara" by E.S. Posthumus).

A few days ago, I read an article where Mira Nair was saying she'd been approached to direct the next installment of the Harry Potter films. Whether anything comes of that, who knows, but she does have an eye for great cinematography.

I feel like everyone is tromping in to tell me what an idiot I am.

I assure you, I definitely don't think that. At all.:-)

Oh! I was already excited about Vanity Fair (I love the novel) and I didn't even know he was in it. Now I'm really excited! Thank you for the heads up!
