Every review I'd read gives the nod to Firth for a superb acting job --the media's consolation prize for darling Ford's otherwise immaterial movie. But can we give it even that? <br /> <br />On one hand, I want to decry how Ford made this movie for himself and only himself. Every shot had an indulgent, I've-always-wanted-to-try-this feeling.<br /><br />But then, don't we all kind of live like that, with smaller budgets and no audience?Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282331123796933210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-27685630579854579102009-12-28T17:30:23.589-05:002009-12-28T17:30:23.589-05:00Beau !

I guess that is a result of<br />too much of a good thing. It doesn't have the truest<br />ring to my ears. He sounds like a kid from prep school <br />but forgot school let out 36 years ago. But what do I <br />know...

I did hear that Colin Firth deserves and Oscar nomination for this role though.

To spend 2-odd hours watching a world made beautiful and perfect through Tom Ford's eyes, i'll gladly pay my 10bucks, sit down and shut up.<br />With regards to your last post, Fluff - thank YOU for writing with such wit and honesty about an industry that frequently needs blinding light shed upon it. Your blog is one of the best things that I have discovered all year, and I hope that you will continue to write and muse on into 2010 without too many 'paws's' for thought!<br />If Vogue doesn't feature you in their blogger issue, it'll be the most heinous fashion-crime of the new millenium.<br /><br />Happy Holidays,<br /><br />Miss NashAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-39076697077726582022009-12-21T16:01:31.709-05:002009-12-21T16:01:31.709-05:00At least you got a chance to write about the film ...At least you got a chance to write about the film after seeing it, the rest of us will have to wait until it's released. I can't wait to see the movie myself because after all most movies are styled to bring another aesthetic into movies to make up for the story line. <br /><br />That's why I love the classic movies, I'm in a trance just by watching the set designs and clothing designs alone. Did he do the author justice in his interpretation? <br /><br />I've got to read this book and after reading so many fashion magazines who have spoken of the movie, got me thinking about author, James Baldwin and who would possibly bring his life to the silver screen? I'm sure he had some very fashionable friends and fascinating escapades when he lived in Paris.Divalocityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273194312285528274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-61977542408622649522009-12-21T15:13:30.181-05:002009-12-21T15:13:30.181-05:00The visuals you describe sound blissful . . . and ...The visuals you describe sound blissful . . . and if the soundtrack's any good . . . will see it in my local cinema with a vodka martini in the cupholder (my local cinema is very civilized in that way).<br /><br />Merry Xmas and Happy Brand-New Year, matey!! xxcChrista Weilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02898114269723629684noreply@blogger.com
