30 Days of Posting: Day Two
Still technically day two because I say so!
Today, some of the things I've been watching, laughing at and thinking about. Ready, go!
If Game of Thrones were a RomCom:
Totally ridiculous and I love it - Original British Drama promo for 2013 (the all-male version, but I don't see that they've done one with the females, bad form!)
"The Musketeers, Sherlock, The Great Train Robbery, Quirke, The Escape Artist, Ripper Street, What Remains, By Any Means are all part of the Original British Drama 2013 offering only on BBC One."
But what about Whitechapel???!!! I've watched Episode 1 of S4 and it's just such a wonderful sort-of-guilty pleasure. The cinematography and editing are superb. They take a relatively normal but historical area of London and make it look like the hellmouth. (Crossover story idea???) Rupert Penry Jones just as swoon-worthy and emotionally stunted as ever. *swoons*
British Comedies I am mainlining like a junkie on a bender: Twenty Twelve, Threesome, Chickens, Watson & Oliver, and MY FAVORITIST THING EVER: Miranda. God I love her. I think after Luther, Southcliffe, The Village, The Returned and Run, I was ready for something more lighthearted. If you haven't seen The Returned, please to run to the nearest outlet and get it. It's French and therefore, French. But it is powerful, creepy, amazing. With beautiful people fucking.
And I leave you with -- Steve McQueen talking about 12 Years a Slave:
Powerful and interesting -- based on the true story of Solomon Northrup. I'm not even in it for Benedict Bumberbatch or Michael Sassbender because overexposureREASONS but Chiwetel Ejiofor, YES PLEASE, this is going to be amazing. Also not to be repetitive, but MORE STORIES ABOUT WOMEN PLEASE. Who do I have to blow to get more high profile films about women with mass appeal?
Further, McQueen says "Within film it was never given a platform... as it kind of deserves as an important historical events, especially in the United States..." which I disagree with. Yes, I do think there should be more on the issue, but HELLO? The Color Purple? Django Unchained? Roots? Have a list of 12 films that tackled slavery, for better or worse.
