Her tirade at the end was unwarranted. Poor as she was, how did she scramble the cash to fly to England before she met Daniel? She takes him for the cash from the first-class ticket she turns in and the hotel night, scum-sucks Whiskey off a drunk in a park and agrees to go for coffee with him, running away because he says his perfect partner for sex is himself. Yet she falls for mopey-dopey boy who teaches bridge to a bunch of old, rich women. Yet she has the nerve to insult Frank because the only love letters he gets are from 6 year olds when his old movies are rerun. Why wasn't she on Laurence who spent his time with a bunch of old rich women. At least Frank had a career - Laurence played Bridge. Then she weepingly squeals out how at least she is trying to change her life. By going to an overpopulated city (one of the most expensive on earth) in a country that you must live in for a year or more or get permission to get employment in? Please! Woohoo, GO TEAM SEWELL!!! Easy there, tiger! I also captain Team Hollander... ;D <- appropriate, no?

My relationship to At Sachem Farm, exactly. It just makes me smile. Regrettably never seen it. I just cannot get it in that desert called Germany, have tried everything, but without success. www.play.com/DVD/DVD/CART/3-/145646/-/Product.html?cur=258Temporarily out of stock but I shouldn't worry about that.

I've decided that what with the Golden Globes, BAFTA's and Oliviers, I'm all awarded-out for one year. I am skipping the Oscars broadcast tomorrow night and indulging in a little Amazing Grace! One can never be Roofed-out imo.

The Roof is such an enigma in that he appears to be this really chilled out guy but right now, he's really steering his career and is doing the opposite of going with the flow. He's the most chilled out control freak I've come across! ;D It's interesting to compare him with Michael Sheen who may have gone with type casting (i.e. real life characters are his forte) and seems to be enjoying a big peak right now. And so is Rufus. Hmm, I guess there are more ways to Rome.
Just boys please, don't join the cast of Rome, kplzthnx.

Neither of the actors stirred me to seek them out. I don't know about your screening but Ioan looked so LA at mine. All tanned and wearing this preposterous printed shirt/leather jacket combo. He did appear sweet and soft-spoken though. I'll have to study Roof's performance when I go see it again when it opens. I do think there were traces of Charlie II and even some Jan in there. Obviously because mannerisms are more likely to be Roof's own than thought up for the character. A pensive look is a pensive look. I guess it's because I've seen almost his whole (film/tv) oeuvre and most of it multiple times so obviously I'm familiar with his mannerisms. However, the fact that I have means that I approve! And actually, somewhere towards the end there is a close-up of him that lingers a couple of seconds (could it be the end of the baby scene??) and there was something there that honestly I hadn't seen before. I guess what I'm trying to say is ... yeah I don't know. I'll need to think about it.

I saw AG tonight and it was an altogether great experience. I went with a friend who knew I was a little more than just simply interested in seeing this movie so he came prepared. He didn't enjoy it as much as I did and when at one point I leaned over to ask him if he knew who Michael Gambon was supposed to portray, he simply replied 'some dude' which made me laugh. I liked the film but didn't love it. It's a costume drama and a pretty typical one at that. Ioan Gruffudd was fine, I liked Benedict and the other supporting cast was fab. I'm not sure whether I love Rufie's performance (as in 'omg the best thing since sliced bread'; I did really like it) , I think it has to sink in. It struck me as 'angry young man' for the most part and only later in the film does he become likeable. His final moments in the film made me melt though. Let me sleep and ponder on Clarkson. As to his appearance, oh my god, he looks like an aging hippy at a Renaissance Fair!! Plus his head appeared bigger than most of the other heads so he stood out quite a bit. But that's ok, I still lurve him. After the film there was a Q&A with Michael Apted and Ioan Gruffudd. Apted did most of the talking, Gruffudd looked around a lot. I hate it when at a Q&A some people get ignored, it's totally rude. Gruffudd did think he was a good singer which I can't say I agree with based on his rendition of "Amazing Grace" in the film. Poor Ioan although I'm sure he'll survive. Oh and at the credits when the actors' photos came up with their name, some of them got an applause. Albert Finney was a favourite of the crowd. So when Rufus appeared I totally cheered and clapped and there you go, a few people joined me and went 'yeah!'. Represent! ETA: After the Q&A I went up to Michael Apted and told him how much I enjoyed the film and said how clever it was to cast Rufus Sewell as a good guy. He said "Thank you. He really gave a lot to it". That was cute. Transparent... who, me?

Rufus was... pretty brilliant, actually. It's a small role for him but he really shines against a very tough cast of grizzled British character actors. I am as pleased as Punch to hear that! Yippee!!

I didn't have a problem with Uhl until he stood there at the end grinning and twirling his mustache (did he even do that, I can't remember) over how clever Eisenheim was to bring Leopold to commit suicide. Nice one, mate. Oh God, I'm so protective of Roof's on screen image, it's sickening Although, not of Jasper Bloom!

BTW, Rufus said one of the actors in Amazing Grace was also in Middlemarch. I forget who, but he said he was one of those townspeople who were against Dr. Lydgate. Ooh, quiz!! *goes off to google*
