Truly Outrageous (in a good way!)
Feb. 6th, 2010 03:10 amSo I bought St. Trinian's on DVD (because I wanting to see another movie with the lovely Talulah Riley in it (isn't that a lovely name?) because I wanted to see her as someone other than Mary Bennet. She blew my mind! Oh sure I'd seen her in that two episodes of Doctor Who but I didn't realize who it was in time enough to appreciate the job she did as Miss Evangelista in "Forest of the Dead and "Silence in the Library". And I had no IDEA she was even in Pirate Radio.
Well anyway I feel that St. Trinian's is one movie/DVD that has been largely overlooked or hated without real reason (it only just came on on DVD here in the USA very recently)
I mean where else can you see Rupert Everett in drag? Or Colin Firth mostly naked! Or a little dog named Mr. Darcy, HUMPING COLIN FIRTH's LEG (who once played Mr. Darcy?!?!) I laughed myself silly! Or the supermodel Lily Cole as dowdy little geek? Did I neglect to mention that Colin Firth and Rupert Everett in drag flirting with each other? There's just too much funny to comment on it here without spoiling it for you but at least rent it if nothing else! You won't be sorry!
Hell, screw Colin's Mr. Darcy or even his Mark Darcy, give me a Geoffrey Thwaites or a Jamie Bennett (Love Actually) any day! Did I forget to mention Russell Brand is in this movie too? Heee! This movie (and soundtrack) rocks!
And YES you've got to hear the song I'm listening to ("Saucy Minx" indeed Rawr!). Whee! Now I'm off to finish the second Percy Jackson book!
