Kernow day 3
Went for stroll along edges of Pendennis Castle, then throguh the woody bits around it. then bought crocs with fleece socks inside. Don;t ask. this is my mother's request for christmas...
Decided to go see Easy Virtue on a whim at the arts cinema. (colin Firth, Kristin Scott Thomas, Ben Barnes, Jessica Biel)
it is awesome. So rarely do you get Noel Coward done *right* in cinema. if it's not bitchy, awesome fun with fast cuts, it's not Noel Coward. Audience alternately giggling, hiding in embarassment as the characters did, gasping as they did... Yeah. Done well. Ben Barnes, get naked more often. (ah, UK definition of PG. We don't like violence. But nekkidness and sex is absolutely necessary.) And whoever did the soundtrack? Usual spattering of Noel Coward, a couple of Cole Porter, as you'd expect. But the genius move? Sex Bomb and When the Going Gets Tough, re-scored and done in 1930s light jazz style. it works so well it's not true. You could see people blinking when the lyrics for 'Sex Bomb' suddenly registered - because 'Spy on me baby, use satellite' isn't exactly period. I MUST HAVE THIS ON DVD. AND THE SOUNDTRACK. I NEED THE SOUNDTRACK.
Also? What's Jessica Biel been in that's good? She was really, really good in this, and I feel the urge to seek out more of hers...
Now, I'm goign to worship at the feet of light and fluffy and the awesomeness of Julie Andrews. Also Anne Hathaway and Chris Pine doing screwball comedy. Princess Diaries 2 and pizza. oh yes.
