that sums up “marie antoinette.” mom and dad said they were going tonight, the last night it\u2019s playing here in spfld, so kevin and i went, but then mom and dad had to go later.<\/p>\n
when the movie was FINALLY over after about 15 days, i called dad and said WHATEVER YOU DO DON\u2019T GO SEE THAT MOVIE.<\/p>\n
but i feel that they\u2019ll go anyway. GO SEE BORAT INSTEAD, i called back and told him. WE SAW THE PREVIEW FOR THAT AND IT LOOKS REALLY FUNNY.<\/p>\n
they\u2019ll go to marie antoinette. they\u2019re there right now i bet. BORED OUT OF THEIR MINDS.<\/p>\n
here\u2019s the plotline – marie antoinette goes to france. she gets married. and then for the rest of the movie, NOTHING AT ALL HAPPENS.<\/p>\n
there\u2019s lots of walking around. lots and lots of walking, beautiful places, i mean it\u2019s VERSAILLES (we have a versailles here in central illinois, but we pronounce it “versales.”). beautiful grounds, beautiful chandeliers and furniture and wallpaper. GOOD JOB WITH THE SET DECORATION AND THE COSTUMES. BUT YOU FORGOT TO HAVE A STORY AND SOME DIALOGUE.<\/p>\n
sometimes kirsten dunst does talk. ISN\u2019T SHE A GOOD ACTRESS? WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?<\/p>\n
she and her co-star, louis xvith, i think it\u2019s jason schwartzman, THEY SOUND LIKE THEY\u2019RE IN A HIGH SCHOOL PLAY. eventually kirsten has a beautiful little girl who HAS A LOVELY FRENCH ACCENT.<\/p>\n
kirsten sounds like she lives in VERSALES ILLINOIS.<\/p>\n
blegh.<\/p>\n
molly shannon and this other actress whose name i can\u2019t remember but she has a really really creepy voice, they\u2019re some of the ladies in waiting or ladies hanging around or whatever, and at first i thought maybe they would provide some INTRIGUE or SOME KIND OF ACTIVITY TO MAKE THE MOVIE INTERESTING IN ANY WAY, but they didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
kirsten has a short affair with some guy and he\u2019s quite handsome but then he gallops away on his horse.<\/p>\n
kirsten gets to wear many many many fabulous fancy gowns and shoes and sometimes ridiculously tall marie antoinette wigs. in a scene with her lover she wears nothing but a pair of lovely white stockings with blue ribbons at the top, and she holds a very large fan. but SHE IS UNBELIEVABLY TERRIBLE.<\/p>\n
all through the film they eat lots and lots of very beautiful looking food and how come i didn\u2019t see a single woman in the film who looked fat at all, wouldn\u2019t they all be waddling around after doing nothing but eating rich pastries and drinking gallons of champagne every moment of every day? <\/p>\n
at the end, and i won\u2019t ruin it for you because I HOPE TO GOD YOU DON\u2019T GO SEE IT, there\u2019s not even any dramatic scene of her being a captive and being beheaded. she and her husband roll away in a carriage and she he asks her something like “are you looking at the view?” and she says “i\u2019m saying good-bye” and then we see a shot of their bedroom (where i think they really only had sex once, perhaps a few times) which is ornate as anything but totally wrecked and the chandelier is on the ground.<\/p>\n
AND THAT\u2019S THE END.<\/p>\n
BUT THAT GOD THAT WAS THE END.<\/p>\n
because it was more boring than anything i can recall in a very very long time. <\/p>\n
earlier in the week we went to “talledega nights,” and it was the BEST MOVIE IN THE WORLD compared to MA. T. nights was inconsequential and stupid sometimes, but at least things happened, i even laughed a couple of times, and kevin enjoyed it thoroughly because he\u2019s a guy.<\/p>\n
i can\u2019t believe we wasted two perfectly good hours seeing marie antoinette. <\/p>\n
i came home and vacuumed because i haven\u2019t done so since the party even though i\u2019ve been meaning to and there\u2019s been confetti all over the carpet for over a week now and VACUUMING WAS MUCH MUCH MORE ENTERTAINING THAN WATCHING MARIE ANTOINETTE.<\/p>\n
as we ran out of the theater when it was over, there were a few people sitting in the rows in front of us and they remained in their seats. surely they didn\u2019t give one shit about who was involved in that crappy crap? perhaps they had all fallen asleep.<\/p>\n
that is all for now. i feel much better.<\/p>\n
