Just wanted to share something real quick....

Replies and such later, but first!

This came on my TV last night during Project Runway, and I thought it was incredibly beautiful. I'm apparently waaaay out of the loop, because I had no idea what it was. But now I can't decide whether to be deliriously excited or not.

Watch on YouTube

I mean, the cast is so schizophrenic! Daniel Day-Lewis! Judi Dench! Sophia Loren! Marion Cotillard! Penelope Cruz! But then...there's Kate Hudson. And Fergie? Wha? And I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I could care less about Nicole Kidman. Whatever.

It looks gorgeous, but I just don't know. Thoughts, anyone? At the very least, do yourself a favor and watch the beautiful that is this tv spot.

I was the wardrobe head for this musical in college and it's one of my favourites. I'm really excited for this movie. :D

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Oh, good! I know nothing about the musical, so I'm very glad to hear that it's a good one! I'll let myself be officially excited, then!

[angearia.livejournal.com]

Oooo Sophia Loren is in it!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I know! The little girl inside me who watched old movies obsessively with my mama while I was growing up is absolutely thrilled to see her! She's still so awesome!

[angearia.livejournal.com]

OMG stop being me! I watched old movies with my mom, too!

My favs: The Thin Man films. Are you familiar with them? They make me deliriously happy. Favorite married couple ever. They're frothy and witty and fun and have fantastic mysteries and are basically everything I want in movies. And I have an icon!

[angearia.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've ever watched those! Ooooo! *must watch*

I love anything with Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Audrey Hepburn, Katherine Hepburn, Grace Kelly - to name a few. Which means that I adore "The Philadelphia Story," "How to Catch a Thief," "Charade" (I love it so much!) and any of the Katherine Hepburn/Spencer Tracy duos. :D

You have such good taste! I love old school movies stars so hard.

We grew up watching all those, plus musicals and anything Hitchcock. I still to this day love the look of black and white. I have this idea for a TV show in the back of my head that will never happen but that's my crazy dream job, and I would want to shoot it entirely in black and white. Because it's so ambient!

Anyways, the first Thin Man movie starts out a bit slow, but as soon as Nick shows up....And the second one has a young (and absolutely lovely) Jimmy Stewart! I think you'd like them.

I really don't know much of anything about this film, but Judi Dench & Marion Cotillard = <3. Fergie is very random, though, lol. Maybe it's more of a...glorified cameo-type role? And you know, generally, I'm not amazed by Nicole either, except--Moulin Rouge, so I kind of love her forever just for that :D

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

udi Dench & Marion Cotillard = <3. My thoughts exactly!

Maybe it's more of a...glorified cameo-type role? From some things I've read, I think it might be.

Well, maybe she'll be awesome in another musical! We can hope!

And I still haven't watched Moulin Rouge....If I ever do, you will be the first to know.

[moonlightrick.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe she'll be awesome in another musical! We can hope!

She did very well in Moulin Rouge, and that has plenty of singing and dancing, so I have faith :) And if something goes wrong, I'll just retreat to my safe place of Favourite Movie *g*

And I still haven't watched Moulin Rouge....If I ever do, you will be the first to know.

Honestly, it's my favourite movie, but I think you'd really like it, too. But I'll not oversell it :p

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll add it to my list....

[pennydrdful.livejournal.com]

And I still haven't watched Moulin Rouge....

GASP! Do yourself a favor. Watch it!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

And I'm such a movie buff! I'll get around to it sooner or later, no doubt!

[that-september.livejournal.com]

...That makes me want to see the movie WAY more than the original trailer I saw did. Wow. That looks fantastic and lovely and a million other things.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I know! I saw it on TV and my heart just about stopped. I typed in "Nine Rob Marshall trailer" on youtube and the theatrical trailer popped up, and I was all, "What is this nonsense?" This is just fabulous, though.

[slaymesoftly.livejournal.com]

I've got to say - it was beautiful, and I'm intrigued. Haven't heard a word about it before this, though.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm surprised that I hadn't heard a word about it either. But whoever made the teaser here knows how to reel me in....

[pennydrdful.livejournal.com]

Umm.. this looks beautiful, and I definitely hadn't heard of it before, so thank you for sharing!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

You're so welcome! I was astounded at its gorgeousness.

I've always meant to ask you--what is that icon from?

[pennydrdful.livejournal.com]

X-Men! The second movie. It's Jean Grey, kicking ass right before she dies.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Oh! that must be why it threw me: it always looked to me like someone in space, a planet behind her and the darkness of space behind it. And it's been so long since I've seen that one that I didn't recognize the actual shot, but I remember that scene well!

It aaaaalll comes together...

[pennydrdful.livejournal.com]

Huh. Yeah, I can definitely see the planet thing now that you mention it.

[serendipily.livejournal.com]

Hee. I don't know whether to make fun of you for watching Project Runway, or because sparked beauty only come to those drunk on late night.

But this was classicaly, almost laughable. But in a surprisingly good way. i guess there' ssomething about old time circus music to the backdrop of whores. I LOVE IT.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Dude, I'm making fun of me for watching PR this season. This season was awful.

i guess there' ssomething about old time circus music to the backdrop of whores. I LOVE IT. YES.

[serendipily.livejournal.com]

You are an awful part of society and I wish you the worst. (And crap, who won? That one bitcha nd that other bitch get on my nerves and that one sick girl is ... well ... I kind awanted her to win AND-AND ... that's it)

It's like cinmatic beauty.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I totally wanted Carol Hannah to win, too!

She looked like Twiggy.

*thud*

*tackles*

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THAT! Of course, I did think she needed to loosen up on the COurtney Love eyes. *giggles*

Althea needed a major haircut.

And Irina needed a major bitch cut.
