intolerable cruelty!
aww...i've seen it! by accident, actually...'cos sat viewers can't normally see prime time films run on the fifth channel (the godfather's laws, i guess....)...it had already started but i could see the most part of it. i had fun. George is amazing, he's so at ease in comedies and, mostly, in Coen bros. comedies.....you can tell that George's hair in some parts of the film are quoting Ulysses Everett McGill's one!!! (i will always love Oh brother where art thou? to death!)...George is my personal Cary Grant, and here he's just so Cary!!! the perfect role for him!
Catherine Zeta-Jones never looked so stunning like she does here...IMO, she's not so costant in her performance of acting..there are films in which she just pulls faces..others in which she's really good. in this film (they're all acting a bit over the top but it works! it's funny!) she's really gorgeous and beautiful and attractive like her character is.
at the end of a Coen's film you always feel a bit weird...the screenplay is always so strange but so cool, you have to check if you really did understand everything of the story...but this a very cute and funny and smart comedy..you can tell they really had fun doing it but the thing doesn't bother you at all (it does in Ocean's twelve! ...
)since you had fun watching them too....
[EDIT:] forgot to remember these words. George's character says those in Intolerable Cruelty...and Edward R. Murrow said the same in Good night and Good luck (as i recall from the trailer)...pretty cool, uh?
«Se siamo schiavi, la colpa, caro Bruto, non è nelle stelle, ma in noi stessi.»
It is not the fault, dear Brutus, of our stars That we are inferiors, but it is our own fault.
Shakespeare definitely knew it all!!!
thanks to my dear sis Iaia iaiaspot for linking me to this interview...my beloved Colin Firth, ladies and gentlemen....one of the greatest actors and coolest men on earth...said in this interview....
I ask which young actors he admires, now he's nearly 40 ("I feel like a bizarre genetic experiment that's gone wrong - it's all happened far too qui ckly"). He perks up. "I've been thinking about this constantly recently," he says. "Joaquin Phoenix is one - River's brother. I noticed him right from the start and I think he's absolutely brilliant. I think River was brilliant, too. And I'm not using his first name because I know him," he adds, editing himself, "but because we've already used his surname." He then says: "I do know Joaquin, actually," and, head back, obligingly tries to reel off Joaquin's movies: "Gladiator, To Die For, Return to Paradise, Inventing the Abbotts..."
Firth's other favourite is better known: "I think DiCaprio's fantastic; I think he's got incredible skill in front of the camera. I just think he's very real. The thing I admire most is when you just look at someone's eyes and you're convinced, far more than the pyrotechnics. It's what you see here", he says, pointing to his own famously eloquent eyes, "that's impressive."

btw, i LOVE the way Colin talks...he's smart....and a gentleman...
