i was going to leave this until next Saturday, but C is kinda exciting....a couple of faves, a couple from our past, a couple that may make you giggle, and a couple where the laser will be pointing directly to the loins!!!!!.
I've spent hours trying to find my favourite dress at the BAFTAs and I have to say that there was not one that took my fancy.
People have been raving about Carey Mulligan's dress, and although it's fine I think that it is only the best because everyone else looks pretty average.
Bonnie Wright (Harry Potter) looks Ok...
as do the lovely Colin Firth and his wife.
But what is the big fuss about Rob Pattinson - wash your hair boy!
This will be an interesting film! A SINGLE MAN is the directorial debut of Tom Ford, who also adapted the screenplay from a 1964 novel of the same name, said to be "one of the first and best novels of the modern gay liberation movement." And if the name Tom Ford is ringing any bells, its no surprise, he is the man who turned GUCCI around almost singlehandedly in the 90's. So you just know that this film will be stylish.
Firth plays an English novelist, teaching literature at a Los Angeles college in 1962 and grieving—delicately, obsessively, heroically—for his lover of 16 years, dead in a car crash. Seeing no reason for his life to go on, George meticulously rehearses his own suicide, by gunshot, but has trouble finding a practical or aesthetically elegant way to carry it off. So over the course of a long day, he listens idly to his colleagues' worries over the Cuban missile crisis; has dinner with his oldest friend, a London socialite (Julianne Moore, never more glamorous); and indulges some erotic flattery from one of his students (Nicholas Hoult). All these are distractions as George prepares for death in the manner of a samurai or Roman Senator, and bathes in memories of his precious Jim (Matthew Goode)
Nicholas Hoult is the 'About a boy' kid, and more recently seen in 'Skins' and Matthew Goode (seen pictured with Colin in the photo above) was the lovely creature who fell in love with the first daughter (mandy Moore) in CHASING LIBERTY. (anyone? I so know J will know it!!)
Anyway, I think this film looks fascinating and is receiving quite alot of attention while doing the rounds of the film festivals. There is even some Oscar whisper for Colin.
As i have just finished watching BRIDE AND PREJUDICE, and lusting over Martin Henderson, I thought today's 'fantasy' should be a Mr Darcy fantasy. So below, we have a couple of Fitzwilliam Darcy's, a William Darcy and a Mark Darcy. Or otherwise known as Colin Firth, Matthew MacFadyen and Martin Henderson.
