Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Oooh, i want to see the Glenda Jackson version.


I love Judi Dench as Older Liz in Shakespear in Love. I also love the casting irony of that movie, made within a year of Elizabeth, I think. Both films share Elizabeth as a character, and Geoffrey Rush and Joseph Feines as actors.


I think Cate was better as younger Liz (and duly nominated for an Oscar and catapulted to stardom for that portrayal). But I don't find her turn as older Elizabeth as poor by any stretch. I also don't think the dance number in the orignal was over the top, and it has a wonderfully romantic echo in the recent sequel (the one moment where they use a tiny bit of footage from the earlier film).


Haha ... i also love that JWBear has switched his male hottie avatar to Clive Owen as Walter Raleigh from Elizabeth TGA. (but i'll really miss his last hottie, whom I found a blisteringly hot hottie.)
