I gave The King's Speech another chance last night.
Really? THIS won Best Picture? It's a fine movie, but really?!?
I enjoyed it better than my first go-round (where I fell asleep within half an hour), but was not all that impressed with it. Enjoyable though.
HOWEVER, since Netflix must have fallen asleep at the switch and sent me a Real Disc with actual EXTRAS, I rapturously listened to the Director's Commentary - which I usually save for movies I like a whole lot better.
Lo and behold, the commentary was fascinating and I enjoyed it about a thousand times more than the actual movie.
Ugh. #FailedOnceHopefulFilmmaker
Oh, and it was a wonderful treat to see Helena Bonham Carter in a role that didn't require her to act insane!
