    Meh. I'm much more interested in seeing _Coco and Igor_. But only because Mads Mikkelson is the sexiest man on the planet.

    I think I'm more looking forward to the Fanny Brawne movie (mistress of John Keats). But the Coco Chanel should be interesting-- I'd like to read a bio of her at some point.

    I wonder how accurate the film is going to be. Most things I've read about this woman don't have her colored in the most flattering light. She wasn't a very good person. Especially during the occupation.

    @curiousgeorgiana: Yeah, she had an affair with a nazi which (very understandably) decreased her popularity. She was arrested by the French Resistance forces.
    She worked with a Jewish family that she wasn't fond of (they kind of screwed her, but she was pretty stupid to let it happen), and during the occupation she wrote a letter denouncing them to the nazis (but they already left for NY).
    She was an awful person.

    As far as I am concerned, Baz Luhrmann is godly as an auteur. I'm going to Vegas for the post-turkey part of the weekend, but I am going to find time to see this, for sure. I don't care who's in it or what it's about, really. It's BAZ!!

    It's a Baz Luhrmann film, and thus I will make time to see it this weekend. There's no way around that fact-- it's science! This time, however, I promise that I will not drag whatever poor guy is attempting to date me along to it. Mr. Ipomoea had to deal with Moulin Rouge, and some poor bastard in high school had to live up to Romeo + Juliet.


    Nope, just me, a juice box of wine, and a pocket pack of kleenex.

    If you want overwrought drama, mustering and lovely shots of the Australian countryside, might I suggest watching all 8 seasons of McCleod's Daughters back to back?
