I've been seeing mentions of this movie
The Young Victoria, mostly people talking about how much they liked it, how it's out on DVD, and I kept thinking "How did I miss that?" Today I finally remembered to look it up, and found out it hasn't been released in the US yet, but it will be on December 18th. I didn't miss it, yay!
I'm thrilled because this film looks RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS. I adore the idea that V&A had the total hots for each other. Royal marriage stories are generally so depressing! I don't actually know that their hots for each other and/or shagging all over the place are the subject of the film, I'm just saying, that would make a good film. :) Also--Emily Blunt! She is so great!
In honor of this discovery, here's Kate Beaton on Queen Victoria:
Queens do not throw baby fits. Today's WriSoMiFu Update (Day 26):
Tea units: 2 black w/goat milk & honey, 1 black plain
Pie units: 1.5
Stuffing/gravy units: 8? I lost count before I became unconscious.
Procrastination methods: It's Thanksgiving argh. BUT I walked 3 miles on the treadmill this morning while brainstorming sex scene for story.
Actual writing: Sketched in outline of sex scene tweaks. Word count unknown. Progress: Approximately 15% more sexiness.
