OMSB. THE VITUPERATING AND BITTER BEAUTY! I ADORE IT *revolutionary hug*
No shit. I always move and breathe *exactly* the same in a corset, paniers, and a 2-foot pouf as in jeans and a t-shirt!
I almost spit my ice cream at the laptop screen XD
either see the queen as a saint and martyr or really, really hate her.
I really, really love how this sentence works. Really. And the Neo-Chouans and Louis XX scare me. Sincerely. Same thing for the Orléanistes. Or whatever. It's just so depressing that they didn't end poor and working in McDonald's. I mean, then, perhaps I'd feel some sort of pity for the poor guy who is serving you a bigmac and saying how he could have been king of France had there not been a 1789, but geez, they still are fucking rich and have all those people cleaning their asses. Ugh.
Because anyone who doesn't support the aristocracy is of course either a man or as the term used to go, an "unnatural"
No, Estella, EBIL. EBIIIIIIIIIL. *nods*
In the directors mind it forms a trilogy with the previous two films

First off, the drawing is great. Secondly, I love you and wait to have your unnatural gene-spliced babies. This commentary was so perfectly, gorgeously vitrolic!!!!1 I could have blissfully drowned in the outraged venom so artfully displayed here!
just proving that, like in the case of Marie-Antoinette, it is a bad idea to give lots of money to people who are out of touch with reality.
This level of wit was enough to rival Oscar Wilde, and then without the blasé laidback disinterest that so characterised his cleverness.
Except for the fact that she was paying people to be creative for her.
And darling, this certainly isn't the case for you, and your creative wit was about enough to cut the heart right out of my chest. Brilliant!
...Oh dear. Well, at least your commentary made it bearable. And your art is lovely, by the way. Especially the symbolic line.
Coppola forgot about all that and brought her own Marie-Antoinette to life ...Which is entirely the problem.
Antoinette=/=a contemporary American I honestly don't think people realize this. It's worrying.
I don't know why we're expected to feel sorry for her, but not care when Revolutionaries actually *are* assassinated. Well, obviously because the revolutionaries didn't run around in sparkly things and pretend to be shepherdesses. Didn't you read the handbook?
...Which is entirely the problem. I know! It's like Frankenstein!
I honestly don't think people realize this. It's worrying. I hope for the sake of my future sanity that doesn't turn out to be the truth.
Well, obviously because the revolutionaries didn't run around in sparkly things and pretend to be shepherdesses. Didn't you read the handbook? Oh. Right. The handbook. I think I missed when they were handing them out.
Must I say that she was buried in the same cemetery as the victims of a stampede that happened the day of her marriage? Oh, but it must have been a Revolutionary plot. I can clearly see the Comité (from the teen Couthon to a not yet 3 years old Saint-Just) organising that. RIGHT.
(to be true, even the official guide to the site isn't particularly sure about the identity of the body they attributed to Capet... so ;) )
She was a sprite who picked at her food,
It's not really a XVIII century thing- it's more like empress Elizabeth, but definitely not like a Fragonard beauty.
The article was truly dreadful! Illogical, I'd say. And the bit about the Augsburg lip- man, that's the first time I saw anybody say it's cute XD
Oh, but it must have been a Revolutionary plot. Of course! They think the Revolution itself is a plot!
It's not really a XVIII century thing- it's more like empress Elizabeth, but definitely not like a Fragonard beauty. I'm not sure they realize that; after all, being a 21st century American fashion magazine, I'm sure they think society has always expected women to look skeletal in order to be considered beautiful.
The article was truly dreadful! Illogical, I'd say. They were just asking for it to be ripped apart.
And the bit about the Augsburg lip- man, that's the first time I saw anybody say it's cute XD Yes, most people--everyone, actually--tends to consider it a fault.
X3 Awesome, awesome commentary, m'dear. I especially enjoyed: "If by sensation they mean it was booed, then yes, I suppose it did." My thoughts exactly.
When does this movie come out again? I have a feeling I'm going to be mega snarky-obnoxious at the theater, so I suppose I'd better go to a late showing. Tragic as their taste may be (unless they've come for similar reasons), others have the right to enjoy the movie.
It's pretty sad, I suppose, that I already have a verdict for it: "A vapid movie about a vapid woman made for a vapid audience."
Slightly randomly...I finally got my history textbook for the year today. It had a picture of Antoinette on her way to the guillotine and actually called her attractive. O.o; Perhaps they meant before, but still, using THAT picture as they said it? On the other hand, as I was skimming I came across a sentence stating that Maxime was 'utterly honest' and some other praise that I can't remember specifically at the moment, so it can't be all bad. :D I will look through it more thoroughly
Thank you, thank you. *bows* It literally was booed...I wonder how they managed to twist that into "it caused a sensation."
It comes out some time in October, but I'm not exactly sure when....I don't blame the people who watch it; bad taste is not a crime. I blame the filmmakers, who should really be considering what they're putting out for public consumption.
I think your verdict about sums it up, even if I haven't seen it. It would be one thing to judge it knowing nothing about it, but I've seen the trailers and I've read many different reviews of it....I get that idea from whatever I see of it.
...Antoinette was never really attractive; she wasn't horrible looking to begin with, but one could hardly objectively call her good looking either...especially not at the end of her life....I wonder what they were smoking. It sounds like it has the right idea about Maxime, though. Perhaps a textbook which attempts to be objective has been found at last....I had given up hope.

See, it all fits: Tontoinette = cow = BDSM cow = mocking of royal bimbos. Organt spirit, truly. Saint-Just would approve.

They do seem to be focusing a bit too much on the "OMGLook how similar Marie Antoinette is to you!!!11" thing.
Don't feel bad. I lost my copy. ;__; Though now I have a disturbing mental image of Marat as a shepherdess.
^_^

Just a bit. I know they'd like people to identify with their protagonist, but warping her in order to achieve that is just stupid.
Marat would be *such* an awesome shepherdess! It should be drawn. Really.
