Goodnight, YM!!!
2xcited, I thought I saw a pug in the commericals!! How was the movie?? Tell me if it is worth seeing, if it is I might see it tomorrow.
Well, I have some bad news. I don't think I'm going to be able to make our little meet. There is a slight possibility but I don't want to get my hopes up about it..I'm feeling kind of depressed about this because I really, really wanted to meet you guys.

It's just that right now we have to save for Christmas and the final payment for the packages would be due in the middle of December so it isn't really enough time for me. I feel horrible because I really should have started saving sooner, but I guess I learned my lesson now.

I hope I can make it to later meet (actually scratch that, I KNOW I will make the next one!!!). Tonight I was looking at sharing a room with Lyzziesmom but even then I wouldn't be able to go. Just wanted to let everyone know.
Awww, Ash---that's a bummer!!!! Try your best, but we understand if you can't. You gotta do what you gotta do. You will be missed, though!!!!
Next time around, definitely!!
The movie-----well-----I'm not sure if you know that Sofia Copolla directed it and her style is a bit out there. I have never seen Lost in Translation so I have nothing to compare it to. I have heard it is very slow moving. Marie Antionette was slow too-----but in a good way, IMO. I actually really liked it!!!!! I would see it again. It is visually just stunning!!!! This is the main reason I saw it----it was filmed on the grounds of Versailles. I'm am not much of a history person, but I found it very interesting how Sofia portrays her as a very misunderstood teenager. She evidentally was a big "party-er" in her day and liked to spend money and gamble-----this got her into big trouble with the French people. You can really see her "harden" as the film goes on----but not her fault, really-----much to the fault of her surroundings and what she has to endure as the Queen at such a young age.
As I have mentioned before, I love music and was really anxious to see what type of music she put with the film. I was a bit, oh, how shall I say, brow raised at the fact that some scenes had modern music. On the other hand, other parts had the traditional period music----dulcimers, harp, etc.
I honestly really enjoyed it, even though I heard others say it was too slow, etc. I do like those artsy films, though.
eta---I really am not a huge Kirsten Dunst fan---could take her or leave her, but she really did an amazing job in this role. You really could "feel" her emotions and what her character was going through.
The ending is very abrupt, also.
oh, and forgot to mention----there are literally about 20 lines in the entire movie---imagine that??
This concludes my segment of movie reviews. Next up----how to make a turkey dinner using only canned items.
