Bad Baby Pie
Several years ago, I read something about how great a little film called Trust was, and hurried out to my video store to rent it. I immediately fell in love with director Hal Hartley, actor Martin Donovan, and the lead actress, Adrienne Shelly. I started renting every movie I could find with her in it from then on, because I thought she was a fantasic actress, and over the years she became an Indie Queen (even if she wasn't getting as high a profile as Parker Posey) - every time I saw her on screen in anything, no matter how bad the film was, she made me happy.
I had only seen one of the 2 feature-length films she directed; Sudden Manhattan, which unfortunately was not that good. But last year, she was working on a new movie, Waitress, which sounded like it might be promising. Sadly, right before the film was completed (with mostly editing left), Shelly was murdered. Even though I didn't know her personally, of course, it still hit me pretty hard.
So, long story short (too late!), last night Carl had a pass to go see Waitress, so we did, and it was great. And I loved it. And I wrote a review about it. And you should ALL go see it when it comes out, especially all my lady friends (FYI: Carl loved it too!).
Also, after watching it, I want to learn how to make differnt kinds of pies. Cos, wow. Those pies looked like they would taste super-good.
