I'm dreading the day I stop simply comment-replying and decide to catch up. It'll take forever. Congratulations! I saw that you managed precisely that feat tonight when I dropped by your LJ.
My favourite Moore performance (since I'm too chicken to watch The Hours) remains Far from heaven... have you seen it? It's such a gorgeous production, with a consistent plot and beautiful, autumn-ish colours.
Ditto. One of my favorite films of that year. I thought that was her Oscar performance, but due to the politics I’m so aware of I also knew she wouldn’t win. >_< She will in the future though, even if it’s just a ‘make-up’ Oscar as I like to call them, kinda like the one Cate Blanchett won this year (she thoroughly deserved in) when she should’ve won years ago for Elizabeth. Whenever I think of Gwyneth Paltrow winning for Shakespeare in Love I grow livid. ::takes a deep breath::
I already disliked the whole 'vampire origin' she came up with at The Vampire Lestat, to be honest. =p This bit I liked and it really came to fruition in The Queen of the Damned. I gave her a lot of credit for that because she essentially came up with her own mythology and it was quite convincing. I felt Anne Rice was at her best when she was doing historical fiction. The images, the scenarios, the time element, and the level of research that she did, suit the denseness of her prose well. The more modern the time period becomes, the more her prose suffers.
oh, totally random: I dreamed about you during Easter. ::smile:: I think this is sweet. Odd, but sweet. You’re the second person on my flist to have dreamed about me. ::sigh:: I wish I remembered my dreams . . .
