Spent the second half of yesterday afternoon rearranging furniture. Right now the lounge looks like we've just moved in or something. We've even shifted the screen a few feet kitchen-wards...and this is all because I wanted my scrapbooking desk in the lounge with the good light.
Last night we saw Stage Beauty which was utterly wonderful. Think Shakespeare in Love but less tongue in cheek and a bit more hardcore. Billy Crudup makes a lovely woman (the story concerns the first female actors and the male actors who play women suddenly being out of a job...) quite beguiling and I do love Clare Danes.
We went to see it at the Penthouse and the audience there was really quite rude. I'm not sure if it's maybe OK to talk all through the movie at Penthouse, I wouldn't have thought so but we seemed to have a lot of it going on. Also was quite disturbed by the uproarious laughter during a genuinely harrowing scene...I guess they just didn't quite get what was actually happening on screen.
Ok. Spoiler time: In the climax of the movie Billy plays Othello to Clare Danes' Desdemona (the role he was most famed for) and during the murder scene he gets so worked up he actually nearly smothers her to death. There is a lot of him flinging her around and quite violent action. The other characters watching this are worried...they all think he's really going to kill her...I was biting my nails and half the audience was laughing like it was the funniest thing around???
end spoilers.
Anyway it's a fantastic movie and I definitely will watch it again. Brilliant script full of clever repartee and double entendres. Fascinating portrayal of a real identity crisis and the love story was very real.
This morning: Yum Char. Am looking forward to it.
