Let them eat cake...

Ok,I normally don't care for Kirsten Dunst...but I recently rented Sophia Coppella's Marie Antoinette and wow.:thumb:

I don't know about any of you,but I'm a sucker for period films to begin w/..I adored this movie! Kirsten Dunst was so believable and endearing as the ill-fated queen,she really brought a human face to this notorious historical figure.

The cinematography was wonderful,the whole film was highly stylized and the soundtrack is just to effing die for...we're talking Siouxie and the Banshees,The Cure,and Joy Division here folks,can you get any better than that?

Has anyone else had the pleasure of seeing this film?

D'oh... and here I thought it would be a
thread all about some tasty desserts :1orglaugh

Still haven't seen it, figure it has to be
good... as is most everything from the
Coppola movie machine in the last 40
years, sure she has picked up some
tips from her pops and the fact she's
been acting since 1972.

We been on The Libertine
kick for quite awhile, artistic liberties aside..
it makes for an enjoyable watching(s) and what
more could you want besides Johnny Depp?

The Libertine was awesome...Johnny Depp is so great

John Wilmot is an interesting character to
begin with and Depp just really makes it
even that much better. We've probably
seen it.. umm... a couple dozen times...
or more.

Sometimes it's hard to pick a movie with
just the sheer number of choices we have
without having to leave the house and there
are times it's just easier to watch something
that we know we'll like... it hasn't gotten stale
yet.

Yeh...my husband and I have a few movies like that..movies we never get tired of that are just easy choices when nothing else sounds good.
The Big Lebowski
The Life Aquatic w/ Steve Zissou
Haggard (The movie the guys from Jackass/Viva La Bam/CKY videos made..it has a plot,and is hilarious,but sort of touching in an odd way)
Anything by Kevin Smith (I'm sure you can appriciate that Hempknight)
O Brother Where art Thou?
Me,You and Everyone we Know
Natural Born Killers
Pulp Fiction
...ok,the list is pretty long..I guess this could really be it's own thread..all time favorite movies you never tire of

they left out the best part.

That was my only gripe..they could have made it so cool too. I hate that anti-climactic shite..ppttt!

I can't speak yet as I have not seen it yet, (but I'm going to anyways) I've heard that other then Siouxies 'Hong Kong Garden' opening the movie it's an absolute bore. Gorgeous but dull. I liked her other stuff, but was turned away by friends.

I didn't really like Marie Antoinette. The costumes were great, and the music was good, but I couldn't really get into the characters. I'm no movie expert, just an opinion :)
Oh yea, and I realize that the movie couldn't be completely in french, but I found it funny the little girl was the only one who spoke it, hehe.
Great movie picks btw Deviant, I especially liked Natural Born Killers and Pulp Fiction.

saw the commercial and think I'll wait til it's at the library

I wasn't bored..but I think I have more patience for movies of this type than the average person. It was a little drawn out in all fairness though.

Oh,and Hong Kong Gardens was actually played during the masquerade ball in the movie,which was more like 1/3 through the movie..

I think I just fell in love w/ the sheer decadence of her lifestyle...set me daydreaming..I wanna be the queen of france..and not be beheaded,that would be nice

I saw a while back with my wife, and I found it very enjoyable (Kirsten Dunst in see-through clothing is quite nice)
Some may not have noticed, but there is one character that about half-way through the movie is dressed like Adam Ant in the Prince Charming video. My wife wants me to dress a lot more like that.

I liked it, it was a pretty movie ...the way it ended was a little weird, but , i still liked it...

My favorites are kill bill (both of them), sin city, session 9 , frailty
oh and recently Grindhouse...which btw is a really fun movie(s) to see in the theatre.

I gotta go see Grindhouse,I keep hearing amazing things about it. That and 300.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who liked Marie Antoinette though..like I said,I'm a sucker for these types of movies,and I was really impressed w/ Kirsten Dunst's performance for once..I thought she was so charming.

Me too!

300 was really fun to watch (if your into that sort of thing) I loved it!

I've never liked sophia coppalas movies. I just think that they are so-so and that she wouldn't have been succesful if it wasn't for her dad. I have more respect for Nick for making it on his own.

after reading wwtdd.com for a few years, i find it very very hard to find Kirsten Dunst attractive at all....
