Belated thoughts on Doctor Who
Oct. 1st, 2012 11:12 amI have mixed feelings about the last episode. ( spoilers )
On a more cheerful note, I accidentally caught the end of the 1940 Laurence Olivier Pride and Prejudice movie which is amazingly tone-deaf. The actors were trying very hard, but they had to contend with a script that had cut huge swaths of the book in favour of adding extra scenes that made Darcy into way more of a dick, for no apparent reason. ( Spoilers, I suppose, though I think those who care have probably read it already and it's not like I'm recommending this movie... ) Overall, not a good movie, but it was pretty funny if you were willing to sit there and baffle at the choices the director made and try to place the variety of mismatched period costumes the costume department had found.
