An Enjoyable Evening

February 26th, 2004 - 23:10 | 7 comments

I’ve been pretty busy with OU recently so haven’t had much time to watch the films from my DVD club, but tonight I finally got round to watching Pleasantville. I enjoyed it very much, I’d definitely recommend it. At one point the perfect suburban streets made me think of The Stepford Wives, and I remembered that I’d heard rumblings of a Nicole Kidman film version a few years back. It was just a quick thought, but just now when I went to my favourite trailer site to find a link to the Pleasantville trailer (which I can’t, btw), what do I see on the front page? The Stepford Wives, starring Nicole Kidman. How odd Not that I know anything about her, really, but I like to see Nicole Kidman doing well. It’s pretty damn rough having your husband and father of your children leave you for a younger woman, and when he’s the most famous film star in the world and the newspapers knew about it before you did…geez. So when she won the oscar last year I was most pleased On her first tv interview after the divorce she was asked what she planned to do. Her answer: wear heels.

That trailer site is extremely slow. I prefer the http://www.apple.com/quicktime and then click on trailers site.

Yeah it is pretty slow, it has more of a back catalogue than the Apple site tho

They do have some very cool stuff. I’ve upped this one to the F9 web space (which should be faster, but there are some technical problems around at the moment)

http://www.eaglecentre.f9.co.uk/new/pink-panther.mov

This might be slower than the original site though :/

Just a quick warning, that file is close to 50 meg. Don’t even try downloading it with a non cable/dsl connection or better, unless you have several hours to waste!

I’m looking forward to Nicole Kidman in the film version of Bewitched! I like the tv version anyway and Nicole is a good actress

Cool, well done for finding that trailer!

Bewitched w/ Nicole Kidman sounds good to me, though a small part of my brain wishes it were I Dream Of Jeannie (don’t tell Kate I said that)
